About the role
- Define the next generation of biophysical, biochemical, developability, and protein-protein interaction measurement capabilities for protein therapeutics, with a particular focus on miniaturized, pooled, high-throughput, and nanoscale approaches.
- Establish data standards, quality expectations, assay controls, and analytical frameworks that allow high-throughput measurements to be used confidently for model training, candidate triage, and program decision-making.
- Ensure the function generates high-quality, decision-enabling data across Discovery, Candidate Selection, and early Development, including developability, stability, specificity, affinity, kinetics, and manufacturability-relevant attributes.
Responsibilities
- Lead the continued evolution of conventional analytical and interaction workflows, including HPLC/UPLC, LC/MS, electrophoretic, thermal stability, light scattering, plate-based, and biosensor-based platforms, ensuring rigor, reproducibility, and decision relevance.
- Build a strategy that connects conventional analytical and biosensor technologies with emerging pooled or massively multiplexed approaches, enabling Generate to measure protein attributes at scales that match the output of generative design.
- Identify, evaluate, and implement external and internal technologies that can unlock smaller sample volumes, richer attribute profiles, higher throughput, improved sensitivity, or new classes of protein interaction and developability data.
- Drive operational excellence across the function, including prioritization, resource planning, milestone delivery, metrics, continuous improvement, and clear communication of tradeoffs.
- Represent the function with executive stakeholders and external partners, translating complex scientific strategy into clear, compelling, and actionable plans.
- Lead as a strong people leader and culture builder who develops trust, accountability, scientific ambition, and collaboration across a multidisciplinary organization.
- Build, coach, and develop a high-performing team of managers, senior scientists, and technical experts, creating clear growth paths and succession strength within the function.
Requirements
- Strong understanding of protein-protein interaction measurement, including affinity, kinetics, specificity, cross-reactivity, epitope/binning, avidity, and context-dependent binding behavior.
Compensation
- The base salary range provided reflects our current estimate of what we anticipate paying for this position.
- Your actual base salary will be based on several factors, including job-related skills, experience, internal equity, relevant education or training, and market dynamics.
