Full Job Description

MannKind Corporation focuses on the development and commercialization of innovative inhaled therapeutic products and devices to address serious unmet medical needs for those living with endocrine and orphan lung diseases. We are committed to using our formulation capabilities and device engineering prowess to lessen the burden of diseases such as diabetes, nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lung disease, pulmonary fibrosis, and pulmonary hypertension. Our signature technologies – dry-powder formulations and inhalation devices – offer rapid and convenient delivery of medicines to the deep lung where they can exert an effect locally or enter the systemic circulation, depending on the target indication.

Position Overview

The QC Microbiology Manager leads the daily operations of the Microbiology Laboratory supporting sterile drug product manufacturing and fill–finish operations. This role ensures that environmental monitoring, microbiological testing, and contamination control programs meet regulatory expectations and maintain a state of control across aseptic processing areas. The ideal candidate brings strong technical expertise in microbiology, proven leadership skills, and deep understanding of sterile manufacturing and fill–finish processes.

Key Responsibilities

Microbiology Laboratory Leadership

Supervise and mentor microbiologists and laboratory analysts, ensuring high technical competency and adherence to cGMP.
Oversee scheduling, workload prioritization, and resource planning to support manufacturing and fill–finish operations.
Ensure laboratory operations comply with FDA, EMA, ICH, and Annex 1 requirements.
Maintain a culture of data integrity, continuous improvement, and operational excellence.

Aseptic & Fill–Finish Support

Serve as a technical lead for Aseptic Process Simulations (Media Fills). This includes designing "worst-case" simulation protocols, managing the incubation and inspection of units, and investigating any failures to identify root causes.
Provide microbiology expertise for aseptic processing, sterile filtration, filling operations, lyophilization, and visual inspection.
Lead oversight of environmental monitoring (EM) programs for cleanrooms, isolators, RABS, and filling suites.
Review and approve EM trend reports, sterility test results, bioburden data, endotoxin results, and water system monitoring.
Partner with Manufacturing, QA, and Engineering to ensure contamination control strategies are robust and effective.

Compliance, Investigations & Quality Systems

Lead or support investigations for microbiology‑related deviations, EM excursions, sterility failures, and contamination events.
Develop and implement CAPAs to prevent recurrence and strengthen contamination control.
Review and approve SOPs, test methods, validation protocols, and laboratory documentation.
Support regulatory inspections and internal audits, serving as the subject matter expert for microbiology and aseptic controls.
Ensure qualification and ongoing monitoring of clean utilities (WFI, clean steam, compressed gases).

Laboratory & Method Management

Oversee qualification, calibration, and maintenance of microbiology laboratory equipment (e.g., isolators, incubators, endotoxin systems).
Ensure validated and compliant microbiological test methods, including sterility testing, endotoxin, bioburden, microbial ID, and growth promotion.
Manage sample flow, chain of custody, and timely release of microbiological data to support production schedules.
Drive continuous improvement initiatives to enhance testing efficiency, contamination control, and laboratory workflow.

Qualifications

Required

Bachelor’s or master’s degree in microbiology, Biology, or related Life Science discipline.
10+ years of QC Microbiology experience with at least 2 years in a supervisory or management capacity in a GMP sterile drug manufacturing environment.
Direct experience with media fill validation, smoke studies, and environmental monitoring in Grade A/B (Class 100) environments.
Strong knowledge of aseptic processing, contamination control, and fill–finish operations.
Experience with environmental monitoring programs, sterility testing, Bacterial Endotoxin Testing, and cleanroom classification.
In-depth understanding of the 2022 revised EU Annex 1, FDA 21 CFR 211, USP <71>, <85>, and <1116>, and ICH Q7–Q10.
Demonstrated leadership experience, including coaching, training, and performance management.
Excellent communication, documentation, and cross‑functional collaboration skills.

Preferred

Experience with isolator‑based sterility testing and aseptic filling technologies.
Knowledge of rapid microbiological methods (RMM) and modern contamination control strategies.
Experience supporting regulatory inspections (FDA, EMA, MHRA).
Understanding of water system microbiology and clean utility qualification.
Lean/Six Sigma or continuous improvement training.
