(Senior) CMC Technical Integration Manager

At Genmab, we’re committed to building extra[not]ordinary futures together, by developing antibody products and pioneering, knock-your-socks-off therapies that change the lives of patients and the future of cancer treatment and serious diseases. From our people who are caring, candid, and impact-driven to our business, which is innovative and rooted in science, we believe that being proudly unique, determined to be our best, and authentic is essential to fulfilling our purpose.

The Role

Genmab is now searching for two (Senior) CMC Technical Integration Managers, to join the CMC Integration Team in New Product Introduction (NPI) CMC. The NPI CMC Team is responsible for the Early-Stage CMC development covering the preclinical to early/mid clinical stage CMC work. The NPI team is part of CMC Operations in Copenhagen, which is over 100 employees. CMC Operations is responsible for development and manufacture of Genmab antibody drugs used in preclinical, clinical and commercial settings. 

As (Senior) CMC Technical Integration manager, you will be developing and supporting the required analytical/ process strategies for selected projects in the Genmab Early-Stage project portfolio. You will integrate these strategies into projects where the CMC development path is deviating from the Genmab CMC platform and where specific adaptations are required to ensure technical excellence, regulatory compliance and speed into First-in-Human trials. Typical programs will cover projects transitioning from Discovery/Research into regular CMC development towards first-in-human studies. The scope of work also covers new modalities as Antibody Drug Conjugates, more complex and new antibody formats, or specific program challenges from an analytical/process perspective including e.g. transfer of existing programs to new manufacturing/testing sites.

You should bring a broad background from CMC development within Bioprocess Technology/Bioprocess Analytics. You will work as part of the CMC Management Team of specific CMC development programs and will act as a first line of contact for the CMC PM team for resolving CMC issues. You will report to Associate Director CMC, Team Lead CMC Integration.

If you are rooted in CMC process or analytical science of large recombinant proteins or monoclonal antibodies and wish to develop on a path to CMC Project Management, this position could be the perfect match for your personal development.

Key responsibilities include

• Integration of new/specific required analytical/process strategies into CMC Development Path deviating from Genmab CMC platform
• Managing specific analytical/process activities at CMOs related to Early-Stage projects, ensuring technical excellence and speed into First-in-Human trials
• Support the CMC PM to solve project specific analytical/process tasks with a holistic CMC approach as e.g. for new antibody modalities or CMC challenges like transfer to new manufacturing sites
• Support authoring and reviewing of regulatory CMC submissions (IND/CTA)
• Supporting and follow up on CMO and internal quality events as e.g. changes or deviations
• You have a proven track record and the technical skills of biological process or analytical development and biopharmaceutical manufacturing. 
• Very good knowledge of the principles of GMP and CMC development within the biopharmaceutical industry. 
• At least 4-8 years of working experience with biopharmaceuticals, preferably with therapeutic monoclonal antibody or protein development and manufacture at clinical and/or commercial scale 
• Additional experience from antibody drug conjugate projects or chemical engineering/API technology or new antibody formats is an advantage
• Fluent in English and (preferably) knowledge of a Scandinavian language. 
• As Genmab primarily uses Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs) for development and GMP manufacture of investigational drugs, experience in running projects with external partners is preferred. 
• You have basic knowledge of Project Management tools
