Agcbiologics

Make an impact on commercial biopharmaceutical manufacturingAt AGC Biologics, your scientific expertise can directly contribute to bringing life-saving medicines to patients worldwide. As a Senior Scientist in our Manufacturing Science &amp; Technology (MSAT) organization, you will play a key role in ensuring that complex biopharmaceutical processes are successfully transferred, validated, and supported in commercial manufacturing.
This is a role for someone who enjoys working where science meets real-world manufacturing. You will take ownership of complex technical challenges, work closely with Manufacturing, Quality, Regulatory, Project Management, and customers, and use data and scientific insight to make processes more robust and continuously improve how we manufacture.
A pivotal role in late-stage MSATYou will join our Late Stage MSAT team, supporting commercial and late-stage biopharmaceutical projects from technology transfer through process validation and manufacturing support.
As a Senior Scientist, you will have significant ownership and visibility across projects. You will act as a project and/or process owner and help turn scientific knowledge into practical solutions that work in a GMP manufacturing environment.
Your work will include technology transfer from customers into manufacturing, process mapping and facility fit assessments, validation activities, PPQ preparation, and technical support before, during, and after manufacturing campaigns. You will also analyze process and manufacturing data and use science- and risk-based approaches to solve complex technical challenges.
A key part of the role is working across functions and bringing different perspectives together. You will collaborate closely with Manufacturing, Quality, Regulatory, Project Management, and client-facing teams, while also representing MSAT in customer meetings, audits, regulatory inspections, and cross-functional project teams.
You will also have the opportunity to act as a subject matter expert in areas such as fermentation, harvest, chromatography, filtration, mixing and hold-time validation, risk assessments, and PPQ.
Where science, ownership and collaboration come togetherYou will become part of a compact team of experienced scientists with strong expertise in bioprocessing, technology transfer, and process validation. The team operates with a high level of ownership, and several team members are SMEs within their respective areas.
That means you will have experienced colleagues to spar with, while also being trusted to take responsibility for your own projects and technical decisions. The role offers broad exposure across the organization and the opportunity to influence both individual projects and how MSAT works more broadly.
You will also contribute to continuous improvement of manufacturing processes, procedures, and MSAT practices – so your impact extends beyond the individual project you are working on.
What you bring to the role
You have a strong scientific background and several years of experience working with biopharmaceutical manufacturing in a GMP-regulated environment. You are comfortable moving between scientific detail and the broader project picture, and you enjoy taking ownership of complex technical challenges.
We are looking for someone with:
<ul>
<li>An MSc in Biochemistry, Chemistry, Biology, Bioprocess Engineering, or a related discipline and 6+ years of relevant industry experience, or a PhD in a related scientific or engineering discipline and 4+ years of relevant industry experience.</li>
<li>Strong experience with biopharmaceutical manufacturing and a solid understanding of upstream and/or downstream processing, particularly mammalian expression systems.</li>
<li>Practical GMP experience, including familiarity with relevant regulations and guidelines such as ICH Q7A and 21 CFR Part 211.</li>
<li>Experience with technology transfer, process validation, PPQ, risk assessments, process characterization, and/or manufacturing process support.</li>
<li>Experience authoring, reviewing, and approving GMP documentation, combined with the ability to apply scientific and risk-based thinking to complex problems.</li>
<li>The ability to provide technical leadership and coordinate activities across Manufacturing and other GMP functions, while managing multiple projects and deliverables.</li>
<li>Strong communication and stakeholder-management skills, including the ability to work effectively with customers and internal stakeholders.</li>
<li>Excellent verbal and written English and the ability to communicate complex technical topics clearly to different audiences.</li>
</ul>
You should also be comfortable working independently, making sound technical decisions, and taking ownership. A proactive, solution-oriented approach and a genuine interest in continuous improvement will be important in this role.
