Process Development Senior Scientist - Drug Product Technologies

Process Development Senior Scientist - Drug Product Technologies What you will do

Lets do this. Lets change the world. In this vital role you will join Pre-Pivotal Drug Product Technologies group, responsible for early-stage drug product development across diverse modalities, with a strong emphasis on antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs), as well as monoclonal antibodies,multispecificsandotherbiologicmodalities. The role involves designing and developing liquid and lyophilized formulations; evaluating critical quality attributes (CQAs);establishing robust, scalable fill/finish processes for complex biologic drug products;

and authoring and supporting high quality regulatory submissions.

The ideal candidate will bring hands‑on experience in ADC drug product formulation and drug product process development, including a mechanistic understanding of linker-payload attributes,stability/process‑relevant degradation pathways, and analytical strategies used to characterize ADCCQAs. This candidate will integrate formulation, analytical, and process data to guide product design,apply cutting‑edge technologies (including AI/ML), and collaborate cross‑functionally to deliver high‑quality, stable, and manufacturable drug products for clinical development in a fast‑paced environment.

• Work effectively in a fast‑paced, matrixed environment, collaborating across process development, research, regulatory, and manufacturing teams to advance programs and communicate technical recommendations to both scientific peers and leadership.
• Plan and execute formulation and fill/finish process studies for early‑stage programs.
• Develop and characterize liquidandlyophilizedformulations for biologics, with particular emphasis on ADC drug product formulation, handling, and lab‑scale sterile filling.
• Build process understanding across unit operations to support scalable drug product development.
• Evaluate in‑use compatibility and drug product stability under clinical conditions.
• Investigate ADC- and biologics‑relevant CQAs (e.g., aggregation, fragmentation, drug‑to‑antibody ratio, free payload, charge/size variants, subvisible particles, surface interactions) to inform formulation and processdesigndecisions.
• Leverage high‑throughput tools for formulation screening and processability assessments.
• Identify and address technology gapsimpactingADC stability, linker-payload integrity, protein-excipient interactions, and process‑related stress responses.
• Apply machine learning, AI, and data science to predictive modeling, workflow acceleration, and decision‑making.
• Ensure development approaches arephase‑appropriate,from discovery through clinical manufacturing.
• Author technical documents, control‑strategy inputs, risk assessments, IND/CTA regulatory sections, and tech transfer packages.
• Support internal and external technology transfer activities, including collaboration with CMOs/CDMOs, batch record review, process fit assessments, person‑in‑plant support, and troubleshooting during manufacturing campaigns.
• Present findings to internal/external stakeholders and participate in cross‑functional teams.
