Analytical Chemist

The Analytical Chemist will develop and validate robust analytical methods for our drug substances and products by leveraging modern techniques with a strong focus on separation sciences. These techniques will be used for characterising identity, purity, sequence, and impurities in peptides. Ideal candidates will be creative, energetic, and passionate, with a broad knowledge of analytical techniques to support process and product development and quality controls.

• Develop and validate accurate, precise, and robust analytical methods for use in process development, characterization, and quality control of novel peptides.
• Collaborate with scientists across the organization, including process/product development, medicinal chemistry, discovery, and data science, to enable the best science and drive the development.
• Conduct routine and non‑routine analysis of crude peptides, purified peptides, intermediates and final drug substances and products.
• Support methods for manufacturing and development efforts at CDMOs.
• Analyse data, plan, design and execute experiments, and report results.
• Support modernization efforts for laboratory operations.

• Degree in Analytical Chemistry, Chemistry or Biochemistry.
• A Bachelor’s degree with ≥6 years, a Master’s with ≥2 years, or a PhD with 0+ years of industry experience.
• Expertise and experience in separation techniques such as HPLC/UPLC and various detection methods such as MS, CAD & ELSD for characterization.
• Proficiency with data science (including high‑throughput experimentation, data‑rich experimentation) and machine learning / AI is a plus.
• Method and tech‑transfer experience with contract labs/manufacturers preferred.
• Experience working in the biopharmaceutical industry/GxP environments and ICH guidance for analytical methods is a plus.
• Excellent communication, organisation, strategic, and cross‑functional team skills.
• Able to work on‑site and attend in‑person meetings.
