Director / Senior Director Process Chemistry

📍 Hopewell, Virginia

💼 Small Molecule | CDMO | Technical Leadership

Are you a technically strong process chemist with leadership experience, looking for a high-impact role with visibility, autonomy, and long-term growth potential?

Were supporting a pioneering US-based pharmaceutical organization thats transforming how essential medicines are developed and manufactured. With a strong public-health mission, a bold strategy, and a new(ish) team that values trust, collaboration, and open conversation, this is a unique opportunity to help shape the future of an ambitious CDMO.

What Youll Do

  • Lead small molecule process development projects from early-stage design through tech transfer and validation
  • Serve as the technical SME for internal stakeholders and external manufacturing partners
  • Own the strategic oversight of CMC elements, including QbD, DoE, regulatory filings, and risk assessments (e.g. FMEA, CPPs)
  • Drive team development and be a visible, hands-on leader to a group of process chemists
  • Engage in cross-functional collaboration with Quality, Regulatory, Program Management, MS&T, and Government Affairs
  • Contribute to future growth by helping build out structure, systems, and best practices across the department

What Were Looking For

  • 7+ years in process chemistry leadership within pharma or CDMO environments
  • Strong background in tech transfer, scale-up, and manufacturing
  • Demonstrated ability to build and lead technical teams through change and growth
  • Track record of hands-on involvement in IND / ANDA / NDA submissions and regulatory filings
  • PhD in Organic Chemistry or equivalent experience highly preferred

    • Why This Role?

  • Impact : Youll play a central role in the development and manufacturing of mission-critical medicines in a company thats still evolving and open to new ways of thinking
  • Visibility : Youll report into executive leadership and have influence across multiple sites and programs
  • Growth : This is a potential successor role, with a clear path to take on broader leadership responsibilities in the near future
  • Challenge : You'll help lead a business through scale-up, structure-building, and the occasional ambiguity that comes with being part of a high-growth, purpose-driven organization

    • Location & Flexibility

    Youll need to be based in Virginia and comfortable working between two key sites in the

    RichmondHopewell area. Flexibility is built in, but presence is important, this is a people-facing leadership role.
