The ideal candidate is an experienced and visionary Director, CMC Technology & Innovation Program Lead who will drive the development of next-generation biomanufacturing platforms, with a primary focus on continuous and integrated bioprocessing.

This individual will lead internal innovation initiatives and collaborate with clients to design and implement cutting-edge, connected unit operations for the continuous manufacturing of advanced therapeutics including extracellular vesicles and viral vectors. The ideal candidate brings deep technical expertise in continuous biomanufacturing and a strong track record of innovation and technology transfer in a regulated, GMP environment.

Key Responsibilities :

Technology Development & Innovation Leadership :

  • Lead the strategic development and execution of advanced manufacturing technologies, with a focus on continuous biomanufacturing and connected upstream / downstream unit operations.
  • Identify, evaluate, and implement innovative solutions that increase efficiency, reduce cost, and improve quality of GMP manufacturing processes.
  • Partner with internal stakeholders and external collaborators to design and optimize end-to-end continuous manufacturing platforms.
  • Serve as technical program lead on innovation projects, driving feasibility studies, proof-of-concept work, and scale-up activities.

Client-Facing Responsibilities :

  • Engage with clients to develop and customize innovative manufacturing strategies, especially for early-phase clinical programs requiring continuous or intensified processing.
  • Present technical strategies, development plans, and innovation roadmaps to clients, establishing confidence in the CDMO's platform and capabilities.
  • Support business development efforts by contributing to proposals, technical discussions, and client onboarding activities focused on novel or non-traditional manufacturing solutions.
  • Cross-Functional Collaboration & Leadership :

  • Collaborate closely with Process Development, Analytical Development, Manufacturing, Engineering, and Quality to ensure seamless integration of new technologies into GMP workflows.
  • Provide technical oversight and mentorship to scientists and engineers involved in innovation and technology development efforts.
  • Partner with automation and digital teams to integrate data-rich control strategies and real-time monitoring into continuous platforms.
  • Maintain accountability for CMC timelines, budget, resource planning, and key deliverables.
  • Serve as the primary interface between CMC and program leadership, translating technical strategy into executable operational plans.
  • Facilitate technical governance meetings, decision-making forums, and stage-gate readiness reviews.
  • Regulatory & Quality Interface :

  • Ensure that technology development and implementation are aligned with current regulatory expectations for continuous manufacturing (e.g., FDA, EMA, ICH Q13).
  • Support preparation of regulatory documentation related to innovative or continuous CMC processes (e.g., IND, IMPD, BLA sections).
  • Drive implementation of Quality by Design (QbD) and Process Analytical Technology (PAT) frameworks into continuous platforms.
  • Qualifications :

  • Ph.D. or M.S. in Chemical Engineering, Biochemical Engineering, Biotechnology, or related discipline.
  • 10+ years of industry experience in biologics process development, with significant experience in continuous biomanufacturing and connected unit operations (e.g., perfusion, continuous capture, continuous chromatography, single-pass tangential flow filtration, integrated DSP).
  • Proven experience leading innovation or technology development teams within a biopharma or CDMO environment.
  • In-depth knowledge of GMP, regulatory requirements, and phase-appropriate development of continuous processes.
  • Experience in process modeling, control strategies, and integration of PAT tools is highly desirable.
  • Demonstrated ability to lead cross-functional teams and influence technical direction in a matrixed organization.
  • Strong client-facing and communication skills, with ability to distill complex scientific concepts for diverse audiences.
  • Preferred Qualifications :

  • Familiarity with modular or closed-system biomanufacturing platforms.
  • Experience with extracellular vesicle manufacturing.
  • Experience with digital bioprocessing tools, automation platforms, or smart manufacturing systems.
  • Prior experience supporting regulatory filings that include continuous manufacturing processes.
