Responsibilities
Partner with CMC teams to map current workflows end-to-end (inputs, systems, approvals, artifacts)
Decompose tech-transfer packages (method revs, redlines/rationales, representative chromatograms, acceptance tests) into steps an AI can execute with citations
Capture validation/stability/release processes (accuracy/precision/linearity/LOQ, OOT rules, spec checks, CoAs) and translate them into checklists, schemas, and templates
Define data and document requirements (e.g., LIMS/CDS exports, S3/SharePoint/Vault locations), edge cases, and “fail-closed” rules (no source → no claim)
Review AI-generated drafts for scientific correctness and compliance expectations (21 CFR Part 11)
Create clear SOPs/playbooks for each automated workflow; iterate with engineers to reach “ready for pilot” quality
Qualification
Required
3 years in CMC/Analytical Development or QC, ideally touching Phase 2/3 or tech transfer to CRO/CMO/CDMO
Hands-on with HPLC/LC-MS (Ion-Pair, HILIC, AEX), method/SOP authoring, and interpreting system-suitability & chromatograms
Built or reviewed validation packets (ICH Q2(R1/R2)), stability trending/OOT, release specs/CoAs, and change control narratives
Operated in non-GMP → GMP handoffs; practical understanding of 21 CFR Part 11 expectations (audit trail, e-sig routing, data integrity)
Familiarity with at least some of: Veeva Vault (or MasterControl), ELN/LIMS (Benchling, LabWare, SampleManager), CDS (Empower/Chromeleon), Jira/ServiceNow
Comfort collaborating with engineers; you enjoy turning tacit know-how into templates, schemas, and acceptance criteria
Preferred
ASO, mRNA/LNP, peptides, or oligo experience; Phase 3/registration exposure
Awareness of CSV (computerized system validation), ALCOA+, and doc control practices
Light data skills (reading CSVs, understanding units/columns) and curiosity about AWS/S3/Athena-style data lakes
