About the Role:

As Director of Analytical Development, you will play a pivotal role in advancing BioNTech’s mission to revolutionize medicine.

This role offers an opportunity to lead innovative analytical strategies in a dynamic environment where your contributions will directly influence global regulatory submissions and product commercialization.

Your Contribution:

Collaborate with SMEs and GTD leads to develop robust methods, analytical control strategies, and seamless transfer packages
Proactively identify analytical risks and data gaps; design and implement risk mitigation studies (e.g., characterization, comparability, stability)
Establish internal best practices for phase-appropriate CMC hand-offs and analytical playbooks
Define CQAs and evolve associated control strategies across development phases aligned with ICH Q6B guidelines
Lead or contribute significantly to CMC documentation (IND/IMPDs, BLAs/MAAs) and technical responses related to analytics
Engage in hands-on laboratory work including method development, troubleshooting, and oversight of testing activities

A Good Match:

PhD in Analytical Chemistry, Biochemistry, Pharmaceutical Sciences or related field with 10+ years of relevant experience; or MS with 12+ years of industry experience
Extensive expertise in global pharma AD/AS&T for monoclonal antibodies or ADCs; late-stage/BLA readiness experience preferred
Proven success leading BLA readiness/PPQ activities; commercial launch experience is a plus
Hands-on experience in biologics method development, qualification/validation, transfer processes; ADC-specific analytics knowledge desirable
Strong understanding of biologics CMC guidelines (ICH Q6B), analytical control strategies, specification setting & justification
Demonstrated leadership within matrixed environments; excellent communication skills
Global submission experience across regions (e.g., US/EU/China) is advantageous
Willingness to travel domestically/internationally based on program needs

If the position is filled in the US, the Expected Pay Range is $168,100/year to $268,700/year + benefits, annual bonus & equity (bonus and equity is variable and dependent on company and individual performance). Compensation for the role will depend on several factors, including responsibilities of the job, education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities.
