At Phlow, we are creating the future of how medicines are made. As a pharmaceutical manufacturing company, we are focused on developing and manufacturing critical medicines using innovative approaches to improve the security, reliability, and resilience of the U.S. pharmaceutical supply chain.

  • Ensure laboratory activities comply with FDA regulations, cGMP requirements, and Phlow quality standards.
  • Review and approve batch records, analytical data, SOPs, and other quality documentation.
  • Lead investigations of Out-of-Specification (OOS) results and support the development and implementation of appropriate corrective and preventive actions (CAPAs).
  • Build, train, mentor, and develop a high-performing team of laboratory analysts.
  • Establish a culture of accountability, collaboration, continuous improvement, and scientific rigor.
  • Oversee analytical method validation and verification activities in partnership with Analytical Development.
  • Ensure laboratory equipment is properly maintained, calibrated, and qualified.
  • Partner cross-functionally with Quality, Regulatory, Analytical Development, Manufacturing, and other teams to support timely release of materials and products.
  • Identify opportunities to improve laboratory processes, efficiency, and overall quality performance.
Requirements:
  • Bachelor’s degree in Chemistry, Biology, or a related science field.
  • Minimum of 5 to 7 years of QC lab experience in the pharmaceutical industry.
  • At least 2 years in a leadership or supervisory role.
  • Strong knowledge of HPLC, GC, FTIR, and wet chemistry techniques.
  • Deep understanding of data integrity, regulatory audits, and cGMP guidelines. 

Physical Requirements

  • Work in various positions such as walking, standing, or sitting for prolonged durations, including reaching, bending, twisting, turning, and climbing.
  • Exposure to indoor factory conditions and outdoor environments with varying temperatures.
  • Ability to lift objects up to 25–35 pounds occasionally.
  • Frequent walking, standing, bending, and climbing stairs or ladders to access equipment and platforms 

The salary range for this position is $100,000 to $140,000, with the final offer determined based on factors such as the candidate's experience, qualifications, skills, and education. In addition to a competitive base salary, this position is eligible to participate in Phlow's bonus and stock option programs.
