🚀 Head of CMC (Small Molecules)


I’m partnering with a recently funded, commercial-stage biotech seeking a hands-on, strategic CMC leader to drive their small molecule programs from late-stage development to commercial launch.


This is a high-impact role for someone with proven experience taking small molecules through NDA/MAA approval and launch.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead end-to-end CMC strategy for late-stage and commercial programs.
  • Oversee process chemistry, analytical, formulation development, and manufacturing scale-up.
  • Drive tech transfer, process validation, and commercial readiness at global CMOs.
  • Partner with Regulatory Affairs on NDA/MAA submissions.
  • Build and mentor a high-performing internal team and manage external partners.


What They’re Looking For:


  • 15 years in small molecule CMC, with expertise in API and drug product.
  • Experience with global CMOs/CROs and GMP systems.


This is a rare opportunity to join a growing biotech at commercial stage, where your leadership will directly shape product launch and global impact.
