The Senior Manager, QC Chemistry will serve as both a technical and people leader within the QC Chemistry group, overseeing up to 5 chemists responsible for analytical testing of biologics and related materials. This individual will ensure the delivery of safe, compliant, and on-time analytical results at scale. This is a hands-on leadership role with routine lab work (approximately 40–60%, workload-dependent) required to support critical testing, troubleshooting, and method lifecycle activities.

The ideal candidate will play a key role in supporting both clinical and commercial readiness by ensuring phase-appropriate method performance, data integrity, and operational excellence across all testing activities, with a strong emphasis on chromatography-based methods.

Lead and develop QC Chemistry team; set priorities, build schedules, run tier huddles, and ensure coverage/cross-training
Hands-on (~50%) lab leader supporting chromatography testing, troubleshooting, record approvals, and bench mentoring
Own analytical method lifecycle (readiness, validation/verification/transfer); author/review protocols, reports, and change control
Serve as QC SME for HPLC/UPLC and core analytical techniques (e.g., UV/Vis); support biologics assays (e.g., CE-SDS, icIEF, potency) as needed
Ensure GMP/ALCOA+ data integrity & GDP; review/approve ELN/LIMS entries; maintain audit readiness and responses
Lead OOT/OOS/deviation investigations, root cause, and CAPAs; verify effectiveness and drive timely closure
Act as QC lead for method transfers, coordinating with AD/CMC/Manufacturing; define readiness and execute in QC
Oversee instrument lifecycle (URS inputs, IOQ/PQ, calibration/PM, training, release-to-use) with ENG/vendors
Drive operations & KPIs (TAT, investigation cycle time, schedule adherence); standardize SOPs/templates and oversee routine QC testing, stability, and sample management
Lead direct report(s) through goal setting, development planning, training compliance, and ongoing performance feedback

Qualifications/Skills :

Typically requires a BS in Chemistry, Biochemistry, or related field and 8+ years of GMP QC experience (pharma/biotech), including 3+ years of people management experience
Strong hands-on chromatography experience (HPLC/UPLC required)
Prior experience leading or mentoring small teams
Experience with analytical method validation, transfer, and troubleshooting
Strong knowledge of GMP, data integrity (ALCOA+), and QC documentation practices
Experience with OOS/OOT investigations, root cause analysis, and CAPAs
Familiarity with CDS/ELN/LIMS systems (e.g., Empower, OpenLab)
Biologics analytical experience (e.g., CE-SDS, icIEF, potency) is a plus, not required
Ability to work onsite in Salt Lake City, UT with occasional off-shift support
