About the Role

Provide scientific, operational, and people leadership for bioanalytical activities supporting discovery research of peptide biologic therapeutics. Develop, implement, and execute bioanalytical strategies to generate robust pharmacokinetic (PK), in vivo nonclinical PK/PD, anti-drug antibody (ADA), and related bioanalytical data.

Responsibilities

• Lead, mentor, develop, and supervise a small team of bioanalytical scientists.
• Provide technical guidance and coaching on experimental design, assay development, troubleshooting, data interpretation, and scientific problem solving.
• Set priorities, allocate resources, and manage workloads to ensure timely execution of multiple discovery programs.
• Develop scientific talent while supporting career growth and performance management.
• Foster a collaborative, innovative, and high-performing laboratory environment.
• Develop and execute bioanalytical strategies by partnering with chemistry and protein engineering.
• Design fit-for-purpose bioanalytical approaches for PK, in vivo nonclinical PK/PD, ADA, and related discovery studies.
• Provide scientific guidance on bioanalytical approaches that accelerate decision-making.
• Support candidate nomination by generating high-quality bioanalytical data.
• Lead the in-house bioanalytical laboratory and oversee development, testing, optimization, and execution of mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) and ligand binding assays (LBA).
• Supervise scientists in the design, development, troubleshooting, and validation of bioanalytical methods.
• Oversee sample analysis, data review, interpretation, and reporting.
• Manage laboratory operations, instrumentation, workflows, and documentation.
• Identify and implement new analytical technologies and methodologies.
• Manage outsourced bioanalytical activities supporting discovery programs.
• Select, oversee, and evaluate CROs performing bioanalytical assays, PK, and PK/PD studies.
• Review study protocols, analytical methods, reports, and datasets.
• Coordinate activities between internal project teams and CROs.

Requirements

• Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Analytical Chemistry, or a related scientific discipline.
• Minimum of 6 years of relevant experience in bioanalysis within biotechnology, pharmaceutical, or CRO environments.
• Demonstrated experience leading, mentoring, and developing scientific staff in a laboratory environment.
• High level of expertise in LC-MS/MS and ligand binding (LBA) assays for the bioanalysis of peptide, biologic, and/or small molecule drug discovery programs.
• Hands-on experience with assay development, optimization, troubleshooting, and validation.
• Strong experience developing and executing bioanalytical assays supporting pharmacokinetic (PK) and anti-drug antibody (ADA) studies.
• Hands-on experience performing non-compartmental pharmacokinetic (NCA) analyses and interpreting PK parameters using industry-standard software (e.g., Phoenix WinNonlin).
• Experience managing external CROs and outsourced bioanalytical studies.
• Demonstrated success mentoring scientists and fostering their professional growth.
• Strong scientific curiosity and technical problem-solving skills.
• Ability to balance strategic leadership with hands-on laboratory involvement.
• Excellent interpersonal skills with the ability to influence and collaborate across multidisciplinary teams.
• Self-motivated and adaptable in a fast-paced environment.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to present complex scientific concepts to diverse audiences.
• Strong attention to detail while maintaining focus on program timelines and business objectives.
