Typically 15+ years of progressive experience in pharmaceutical, biotechnology, biologics, gene therapy, small molecule, or related regulated industry, with significant experience in CMC Quality Assurance and external manufacturing oversight.

Typically 10+ years of leadership experience within a Quality organization in a FDA/EMA-regulated environment, including experience leading leaders or senior professionals and managing departmental priorities, budgets, and resources.

Expert knowledge of global GMP requirements and expectations, including FDA, EMA, ICH Q7/Q8/Q9/Q10/Q11/Q12 as applicable, and experience with other regulatory authorities such as MHRA, PMDA, Health Canada, ANVISA, and/or other global agencies.

Strong technical understanding of CMC development and manufacturing across multiple modalities such as biologics, small molecules, oligonucleotides, gene therapy, mRNA, enzymes/proteins, or other advanced/novel therapeutics; direct experience with starting materials, drug substance, and drug product preferred.

Proven ability to lead CMC QA strategy for rapid development, rare disease, ultrarare disease, registration, launch readiness, and commercial operations in a matrixed and/or highly outsourced operating model.

Demonstrated expertise in quality agreements, supplier qualification, deviation/investigation approval, CAPA effectiveness, change control, validation, technology transfer, APQR/PQR, CPV, and quality metrics.

Experience supporting health authority inspections, PAI readiness, regulatory filings, responses to health authority questions, and inspection observation remediation.

Strong quality risk management capability and proficiency with root cause analysis, risk assessment, trend analysis, and decision-making tools.

Executive-level communication, influencing, negotiation, and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to align senior leaders and external partners around pragmatic, compliant, patient-focused solutions.
