Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARWR) is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that develops medicines that treat intractable diseases by silencing the genes that cause them. Using a broad portfolio of RNA chemistries and efficient modes of delivery, Arrowhead therapies trigger the RNA interference mechanism to induce rapid, deep, and durable knockdown of target genes. RNA interference, or RNAi, is a mechanism present in living cells that inhibits the expression of a specific gene, thereby affecting the production of a specific protein. Arrowhead’s RNAi-based therapeutics leverage this natural pathway of gene silencing.
Arrowhead is focused on developing innovative drugs for diseases with a genetic basis, typically characterized by the overproduction of one or more proteins that are involved with disease. The depth and versatility of our RNAi technologies enables us to potentially address conditions in virtually any therapeutic area and pursue disease targets that are not otherwise addressable by small molecules and biologics. Arrowhead is leading the field in bringing the promise of RNAi to address diseases outside of the liver, and our clinical pipeline includes disease targets in the liver and lung with a promising pipeline of preclinical candidates.
Arrowhead’s corporate headquarters is in Pasadena, CA with research and development teams in Madison, WI & San Diego, CA, and a state of the art manufacturing facility in Verona, WI. Our employees are nimble, science-driven innovators who are collaborating to bring new therapies to patients in need.
The Position
The Records Management Intern will support information governance efforts at Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals by assisting with the organization, maintenance, and digitization of physical and electronic records. This internship offers hands-on experience in records management, archival systems, and compliance-related documentation within a regulated pharmaceutical environment. The intern’s work will help improve efficiency, accessibility, and accuracy of critical records while supporting regulatory and retention requirements.
This is an 11-week Summer Internship Program paying $23.00 per hour and requires full-time, onsite work five days per week at the designated location.
Responsibilities
- Assist with organizing, cataloging, and indexing physical and digital records to support effective records management and archival practices.
- Maintain accurate archival inventories, ensuring records are properly tracked and easily retrievable.
- Support the conversion of physical documents to digital formats, including scanning, uploading, tagging, and applying appropriate metadata.
- Help implement, update, and maintain digital archival systems in accordance with company standards.
- Verify that digital records comply with naming conventions, storage requirements, and data integrity guidelines.
- Assist with compliance and regulatory recordkeeping activities, including applying and updating records retention schedules.
- Support staff with archival backlog, scanning, and organizational tasks to improve operational efficiency.
Requirements
- Currently enrolled student at an accredited university or college pursuing a Master's Degree in Information Management, Library Science, Records Management, Archives, Business Administration, Life Sciences, or a related discipline.
- Basic familiarity with document management, recordkeeping, or archival concepts through coursework, training, or prior experience.
- Strong organizational skills with attention to detail and accuracy.
- Basic computer proficiency, including experience with Microsoft Office or similar productivity tools.
- Ability to follow established procedures, naming conventions, and compliance-related guidelines.
- Effective written and verbal communication skills and ability to work collaboratively.
Preferred
- Coursework or hands-on experience in records management, archives, information governance, or quality systems.
- Familiarity with digital document management or electronic records systems (e.g., document repositories, archival databases, eDMS platforms).
- Experience scanning, digitizing, or organizing large volumes of documents.
- Basic understanding of regulatory or compliance frameworks in regulated environments (e.g., GLP, GxP, FDA).
- Strong attention to detail with the ability to identify inconsistencies in documentation or file organization.

What We Do
Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals is a clinical stage, Nasdaq listed (ticker ARWR) company developing medicines that treat intractable diseases by silencing the genes that cause them. Using a broad portfolio of RNA chemistries and efficient modes of delivery, our therapies trigger the RNA interference mechanism to induce rapid, deep and durable knockdown of target genes. RNA interference, or RNAi, is a mechanism present in living cells that inhibits the expression of a specific gene, thereby affecting the production of a specific protein. Our RNAi-based therapeutics are at the leading edge of genetic-based therapy with the potential to bring life changing treatments for patients. Our Targeted RNAi Molecule (TRiMTM) platform utilizes ligand-mediated delivery and is designed to enable tissue-specific targeting while being structurally simple. The TRiM platform builds on more than a decade of work on actively targeted drug delivery and offers several advantages including simplified manufacturing and reduced costs; multiple routes of administration; and potential for improved safety. Our employees are nimble, science-driven, and innovative professionals. A career at Arrowhead offers the opportunity to collaborate with top notch scientists to rapidly discover and develop RNAi-based therapeutics to add to our growing pipeline. Research and development activities are located in Madison, WI. Our R&D group includes fully-integrated capabilities for chemistry, biology, and toxicology. Madison is an exciting and sophisticated city that includes state government, the flagship campus of the University of Wisconsin, and major research organizations. Our HQ, clinical and regulatory operations are located in Pasadena, CA. Just north of Los Angeles and resting in the foothills of the San Gabriel Mountains, Pasadena is known for its natural scenic beauty, vibrant cultural and academic environment and rich architectural setting.
