Job Responsibilities
Location: Suzhou/ Guangzhou/ Lianyungang
1. Strategic & Technical Leadership
Provide expert scientific direction and oversight for the entire Process Development organization.
Develop and implement a forward-looking PD strategy that incorporates advanced technologies for next-generation biologics and complex molecules.
Establish platform processes while driving innovation to tackle molecule-specific challenges (e.g., product-related impurities, aggregation, low expression titers for complex formats).
2. Deep Domain Expertise & Oversight
1. Upstream Process Development
Provide expert guidance on advanced cell culture technologies, including high-throughput clone screening, media/feed optimization, perfusion process development, and process intensification strategies to achieve best-in-class titers and product quality.
2. Downstream Process Development
Provide expert guidance on purification process challenges specific to complex molecules, including platform process optimization, novel chromatography resin evaluation (e.g., multi-modal), and designing robust viral clearance strategies. Deep knowledge of handling high viscosity, low stability, or heterogeneous products is essential.
3. CMC Integration
Serve as the ultimate technical authority for Process Development, ensuring seamless integration with Cell Line Development, Analytical Development, and Formulation teams to define critical quality attributes (CQAs) and establish a holistic control strategy.
4. Team Management & Development
Lead, mentor, and inspire a large, high-performing team of scientists and engineers across upstream, downstream, and tech transfer functions.
Foster a culture of scientific excellence, innovation, accountability, and continuous learning. Attract, develop, and retain top-tier global talent.
5. Tech Transfer & Scale-Up
Own the strategic oversight of all technology transfers to internal GMP manufacturing sites and external partners (CDMOs). Ensure processes are scalable, reproducible, and compliant with global regulatory standards.
Provide expert troubleshooting support during GMP manufacturing campaigns.
6. Global Regulatory Strategy
Lead the technical authorship and review of the Process Description and other critical sections of regulatory filings (IND, BLA, MAA).
Define the process validation strategy (PPQ) and provide strong scientific justification for process parameter ranges during health authority interactions.
7. Operational Excellence
Manage the department’s budget, resources, and timelines effectively. Champion initiatives to improve efficiency, reduce COGs, and implement new technologies.
