We hire passionate innovators who drive healthcare forward through thoughtful and inclusive collaboration. If you want to discover a career with greater purpose, join us as we transform and accelerate research and development.
Job Summary:
Organize, curate, and scientifically evaluate large molecule, new modality, and biomarker LC/MS data generated in early drug discovery ADME studies. Ensure that complex datasets are accurate, consistent, traceable, and translated into actionable insights that support compound profiling, lead optimization, and data-driven program decisions.
What You'll Be Doing:
Manage and curate LC/MS datasets from non-regulatory ADME bioanalysis studies supporting exploratory and pilot toxicology in vivo PK/PD studies
Ensure the accuracy, completeness, consistency, and traceability of data from raw LC/MS outputs through processed results and internal reports
Perform scientific quality-control reviews to identify outliers, errors, and analytical or method-related artifacts
Evaluate ADME parameters across compounds, projects, and assay formats to support structure-activity and structure-property relationships
Collaborate with DMPK, analytical, informatics, and project teams to interpret data and improve pipelines, automation, visualization tools, and analytical efficiency
Coordinate internal and external CRO data contributions while maintaining alignment among study designs, metadata, analytical methods, and final outputs
Prepare clear summaries, tables, figures, dashboards, and integrated discovery data packages to support compound progression and portfolio decisions
Establish standardized data formats, naming conventions, metadata practices, and reproducible workflows for downstream analysis and knowledge sharing
What We Are Looking For:
Bachelor’s or master’s degree in analytical chemistry, pharmacokinetics, pharmaceutical sciences, biochemistry, or a related scientific field
3–7+ years of experience working with LC/MS data in discovery stage ADME or DMPK settings
Strong understanding of LC/MS workflows, quantitative data analysis, and common discovery ADME assays
Experience evaluating data quality and identifying analytical, method-related, and data-processing artifacts
Familiarity with high-resolution mass spectrometry bioanalytical data and workflows for large molecules, new drug modalities, or biomarkers
Other Equivalent combination of education, training, and experience may be accepted in lieu of degree
The Knowledge, Skills and Abilities Needed for This Role:
Strong analytical thinking and the ability to translate complex scientific datasets into clear, actionable insights
Scientific rigor, attention to detail, and a strong data-integrity mindset when managing complex datasets
Effective cross-functional collaboration with bioanalytical scientists, DMPK teams, project coordinators, study directors, CROs, informatics teams, and IT partners
Ability to communicate data assumptions, limitations, trends, inconsistencies, and conclusions clearly to scientific stakeholders
Strong organizational skills and the ability to establish standardized, reproducible data-management practices
Knowledge of bioanalytical workflows for modalities such as oligonucleotides, proteins, peptides, antibody-drug conjugates, ionizable lipids in lipid nanoparticles, and amino acids

How we calculate "similar"
No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.
Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.
0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
