  • Participate in cross-functional development teams to advance production activities.
  • Ensure successful manufacturing production runs by assessing risks, implementing preventative measures, and troubleshooting equipment and process issues.
  • Perform additional duties as assigned.

  • A minimum of 3 years of experience in the manufacturing and operational complexities of cell therapy-based therapeutics, such as TIL, CAR-T, TCR, or stem cell products.
  • Able to thrive in a fast-paced environment, effectively managing competing priorities and adapting to changes.
  • Prior experience with GMP manufacturing to support person-in-plant and manufacturing workflows.
  • Experience managing relationships with external partners, such as CMO clients, demonstrating effective communication to foster strong partnerships.
  • Willingness to travel to fulfill responsibilities.
  • Experience in Process Development, Manufacturing, and/or Manufacturing Science and Technology (MSAT) for cell or gene therapies is preferred.
  • Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal.
