About Affini-T Therapeutics
Affini-T Therapeutics is a biotechnology company focused on targeting oncogenic driver mutations with a “best-in-class” TCR therapy platform. Our innovative method of discovering high affinity TCRs specific to oncogenic driver mutations is used to develop therapies against malignant diseases. Through the application of gene editing and synthetic biology, we aim to enhance T-cell fitness to overcome the immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment, with the goal of inducing long-term responses in patients with solid tumors.
Affini-T Therapeutics is announcing a Senior Director, Head of Product Sciences opportunity at our headquarters in Watertown, MA.

They will drive scientific, technical, and executional excellence in the development and technology transfer of assays (immuno-, molecular, cytometry, and cell-based assays) used in the characterization and quality control of our TCR T cell therapy products and intermediates.
This is a unique opportunity to shape the analytical control strategy and roadmap to product licensure in a rapidly growing biotechnology company with a highly people- and patient-centric, science-driven culture. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience leading large teams in the robust interrogation of the structure-function of complex biologics, cell, or gene therapies, and embraces the privilege of leadership with humility, grace, and an indomitable will to succeed.

Work with other functions (e.g., Process Sciences, MSAT, Translational Medicine) to establish appropriate analytical supports for process and product characterization.
Maintain high autonomy and science-driven decision making throughout the Product Sciences teams within the context of a matrixed development organization and through processes fostering frictionless communication of development progresses and risks.
Communicate very effectively to leadership team, peers, reporting lines and key partners and stakeholders across the organization.
Drive excellence in the execution and continuous improvement of appropriate laboratory controls for sample management, data integrity, analytical instrumentation, and reagent performance.
Author, Review and/or approve IND, IMPD, BLA and MAA sections and participate in interactions with regulatory bodies throughout the product development lifecycle.
Maintain awareness of the current state of the field (literature, regulatory expectations, and competitive surveillance), and contribute to the broader cell and gene therapy industry and academic ecosystem through publications and conference presentations.
Coaching and Mentorship of a high-performing team of Directors, Associate Directors, Principal Scientists, Scientists, and Research Associates in the fundamentals of rigorous and sound analytical development and product characterization, including creating opportunities for continuous professional development.
Desired and Required Qualifications
