You will be accountable for embedding a culture of quality, integrity, and compliance across the entire product value chain, from early development through clinical manufacturing.

Responsibilities 

  • Establish and maintain a phase-appropriate, GMP compliant Quality Management System (QMS) across all development and manufacturing activities.
  • Own and oversee core QA functions, including Document Control, Training, Change Control, Deviations, CAPA, and OOS investigations.
  • Serve as the Management Representative and lead all inspection readiness activities and host internal, vendor, and regulatory agency inspections (FDA, EMA, Health Canada).
  • Lead Quality oversight for the GMP Cell Manufacturing facility, ensuring adherence to regulatory filings and operational SOPs.
  • Primary Quality contact for regulatory agency engagement and external partner collaborations.
  • Provide support to the QC functions responsible for developing, validating, and executing method documentation for product characterization, release testing, and stability programs.
  • Ensure data integrity, traceability, and reliability for all GxP analytical and nonclinical data used in regulatory decisions.
  • Build and lead a high-performing QA team, managing performance, professional development, and resource planning.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally and contribute quality expertise to all regulatory submissions (IND, CTA) through authoring, review, and approval of relevant documentation.

Qualifications & Experience

  • Education: Bachelor's, Master's, or Ph.D. in Life Sciences, Biotechnology, Chemistry, Engineering, or a related scientific discipline. Advanced certifications (e.g., ASQ CQA/CQM) are an asset.
  • Biotech Industry Tenure: 10+ years of progressive Quality Assurance leadership experience within a GMP-regulated biotech, pharmaceutical, or advanced biologics environment.
  • Modality Expertise: Strong preference for experience in Cell/Gene Therapy, Biologics, Tissue Engineering, or Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMPs).
  • Regulatory Compliance & Inspections: Expert understanding and practical application of global regulatory guidelines (FDA, EMA, Health Canada, ICH). Proven track record of successfully hosting regulatory agency inspections and acting as the primary quality liaison.
  • Phase-Appropriate QMS Design: Demonstrated success in establishing, scaling, and maintaining a phase-appropriate Quality Management System (QMS) from early-stage development through clinical trials and commercial readiness.
  • Submissions Experience: Direct experience authoring, reviewing, and approving Quality/CMC sections for regulatory submissions (e.g., IND, CTA, or equivalent).
  • Team Builder & Mentor: Proven ability to build a high-performing QA organization from the ground up, with a focus on resource planning, talent development, and embedding a collaborative culture of quality.

The hiring range for this role is $191,000 - $202,000, annually. Our ranges are based on market data.
