Organization And Position Overview
Lilly recently announced a $4.5 billion investment to create the Lilly Medicine Foundry, a new center for advanced manufacturing and drug development. The first-ever facility of its kind, combining research and manufacturing in a single location, the Medicine Foundry will allow Lilly to further develop innovative solutions to optimize manufacturing processes and increase capacity for clinical trial medicines, while also reducing costs and environmental impact.
In the Project Delivery Phase and Startup Phase of the project (2025 to 2028), roles will be fluid and dynamic as we endeavor to support the project delivery, build a new organization, develop and implement the necessary systems and business processes required to support GMP operations. This will require significant collaboration, creativity, and resilience as the Lilly Medicine Foundry goes from design, start-up, and steady-state operations.
The Analytical Scientist role, a technical-track position, seeks a collaborative, inclusive, and energetic scientist at the Lilly Medicine Foundry to support the production of synthetic and biologic drug substance processes. This role will collaborate with the parent Chemistry Manufacturing and Control (CMC) development organizations to understand the needs of the portfolio and analytical methods required to deliver on the control strategy of the drug substance. This position will work closely with process engineers, synthetic chemists, process analytical scientists, and production staff, and as such, will require good communication and prioritization skills.
The PT&E group will consist of high-level scientists focused on the implementation of new technologies and analytical process improvements. This position involves working cross-functionally within the site and across the network to identify, develop, and employ new technological solutions to deliver the required information to the project teams. This position will be key to ensuring a strong safety culture and establishing safety, quality, and continuous improvement focused mindset within the organization.
