Position Summary

The Associate Manager, CMC Operations supports the CMC Lead across multiple concurrent drug product development programs and external manufacturing operations. This role drives cross-program planning, coordination, and execution tracking - managing integrated timelines, risk and action logs, and cross-functional deliverables - so that CMC, Regulatory, QA, and CDMO partners stay aligned and program milestones are met. This is a hands-on operations role, not a purely administrative one: the person in this role will need to understand CMC and manufacturing context well enough to flag risks proactively, not just track tasks.

Responsibilities

• Build and maintain integrated cross-program timelines spanning tech transfer, process development, manufacturing campaigns, and regulatory-supporting deliverables.
• Own program-level risk and action logs; proactively identify dependencies, conflicts, and timeline risks across the 3 active programs and escalate as needed.
• Coordinate deliverables and follow-through across CMC, Regulatory, QA, and external CDMO partners, driving accountability without formal authority over those groups.
• Track CDMO batch scheduling, tech transfer milestones, and manufacturing deliverables; flag scheduling conflicts or resourcing gaps early.
• Support budget, purchase order, and supply planning inputs relevant to external DP manufacturing activities.
• Prepare status reports, dashboards, and meeting materials for program and governance reviews; ensure meeting follow-through and documentation.
• Partner with the CMC Lead to prioritize work across programs based on regulatory milestones and business impact.
• Project/timeline management experience in a CMC, drug substance/drug product, or biologics environment, with skill in cross-program plans, risk logs, and action trackers.
• Working fluency in CMC/manufacturing terminology (tech transfer, batch records, GMP milestones, CDMO interactions) to flag risk, not just log tasks.
• Strong cross-functional communication skills to drive accountability across CMC, Regulatory, QA, and CDMO partners without formal authority.

Minimum Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in a scientific, engineering, or related technical field; advanced degree a plus and 5-7+ years of relevant experience, or advanced degree and 4-6 years.
• Prior experience supporting biologics, cell/gene therapy, or LNP-based drug product programs.
• Familiarity with project management tools (e.g., Smartsheet, MS Project, or similar) for multi-program tracking.

Preferred Qualifications

• Strong analytical, problem solving and critical thinking skills, including an ability to combine attention to detail with a big picture perspective.

Competencies

• Collaborative - Openness, One Team
• Undaunted - Fearless, Can-do attitude
• Results Orientation - Delivering progress toward our mission. Sense of urgency in solving problems.
• Entrepreneurial Spirit - Proactive. Ownership mindset.

Our employees work at least three days on-site, creating a collaborative work environment, where we cultivate mentorship opportunities, increase cross-functional communication and offer opportunities for our employees to connect.
