Gubra is looking for an experienced Analytical Specialist, to fill a newly established position in our small but growing CMC department.

As our new colleague and first Analytical CMC expert, you will primarily focus on collaborating with CDMOs, supporting early phase clinical trials with the development of analytical methods, validation activities, establishing specifications, supporting stability studies of both drug substance (synthetic peptides) and drug product, and ensuring the delivery of accompanying documentation.

We have a bold ambition to further expand our clinical pipeline within multiple disease areas. As part of the team, you will be able to influence and shape your job content in collaboration with your colleagues. You will work closely with the rest of the CMC team and the other departments in the area led by our Chief Medical and Development Officer, but also with the other departments in our Biotech business unit, in a friendly and helpful atmosphere, where we obtain ambitious results together.

Your main responsibilities

• Overall responsibility for analytical methods development, with focus on RP-HPLC analyses of synthetic peptides, tech transfer and validation at CDMOs
• Collaborate with CDMOs (DS, DP, and other testing sites) on all analytical topics, including specifications and stability studies
• Drive operational deliverables in alignment with project goals
• Ensure compliant documentation for regulatory submissions
• Collaborate with internal stakeholders in the Biotech unit to continuously strengthen and optimize the analytical capabilities within our in-house laboratories

Professional qualifications

• PhD degree in chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacy or similar, with a minimum of 5 years of relevant experience from biotech or pharma
• Extensive experience with the analysis of peptides in early clinical development at CDMOs
• Strong collaboration, communication and stakeholder management skills
• Thorough understanding of GMP, regulatory requirements and relevant guidelines
• Experience in due diligence processes and collaboration with external partners is beneficial

As a person you are flexible, can navigate and collaborate in an energetic and dynamic organization. You are proactive, self-motivated and keen on setting and delivering to deadlines.

You can build trust across professional and geographical boundaries; you are an excellent communicator and a team player that sees the value in reaching ambitious goals via a joint effort with the opportunity to grow along the way.
