ABOUT THE ROLE: We are seeking a highly motivated, hands-on Operations Leader to help build and scale manufacturing operations for a peptide API facility. This role is responsible for establishing/enhancing production processes, implementing/modifying GMP systems, and leading day-to-day manufacturing activities. The ideal candidate thrives in fast-paced, ambiguous environments and is equally comfortable setting strategy and executing on the floor. YOU WILL: - Build and scale peptide API manufacturing operations from early-stage development through commercial readiness. - Develop and implement production workflows for peptide synthesis, including SPPS, purification, and lyophilization. - Drive facility readiness through equipment qualification (IQ/OQ/PQ), process validation, and manufacturing startup activities. - Provide hands-on technical leadership by troubleshooting peptide synthesis, purification (HPLC), and downstream manufacturing processes. - Lead and develop a growing manufacturing team while remaining actively engaged in day-to-day operations as needed. - Establish production planning, scheduling, and operational systems to support scalable manufacturing. - Build and implement cGMP-compliant quality systems, including batch records, SOPs, deviations, CAPAs, and change controls. - Partner closely with Quality to establish a strong culture of compliance and prepare the facility for regulatory inspections (FDA, EMA, etc.). - Collaborate with R&D to transfer peptide manufacturing processes into production and optimize processes for scalability, yield, and robustness. - Identify and implement process improvements that increase operational efficiency, product quality, and manufacturing reliability. - Establish and maintain environmental health and safety programs while proactively identifying and mitigating operational and compliance risks. - Partner cross-functionally with Supply Chain, Engineering, Quality, and other stakeholders to ensure manufacturing readiness and continuous improvement. - Support hiring, onboarding, training, and development of a high-performing manufacturing organization. YOU HAVE: - Bachelor's degree or higher in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Pharmaceutical Sciences, or a related scientific discipline. - 8+ years of experience in pharmaceutical or biotechnology manufacturing, preferably including early-stage or startup environments. - Direct experience in peptide API manufacturing strongly preferred. - Proven experience building manufacturing processes, systems, and operational infrastructure from the ground up rather than inheriting mature operations. - Hands-on technical expertise with solid-phase peptide synthesis (SPPS), peptide purification (HPLC), and downstream processing, with the ability to troubleshoot complex manufacturing challenges. - Strong working knowledge of current Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP), including experience implementing and ma
