Scientist II, Analytical Development

Overview

Work Location: US Headquarters, Waltham, MA (3 Days / Week in Office)

About the Role

Cancer doesn't care how it disrupts the course of lives. We do. Since our founding, we have pursued one goal: develop targeted cancer therapies to improve outcomes for cancer patients. This singular focus has positioned us as a leader in the expanding field of antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) for the treatment of cancer. At ImmunoGen, each of us is driven by a shared conviction that by advancing precise, targeted cancer therapies, we have the power to offer more good days to patients and their families ― now. It is why we come to work each and every day, and it is what will continue to motivate and energize us in the years to come.

ImmunoGen is currently looking for an individual to join our Technical Operations team. This individual will join as an Analytical Development Scientist II to develop methods for testing and release of large molecules in the manufacturing of antibody-drug conjugates.

Responsibilities

• Lead development, qualification, and validation of analytical methods for the routine testing of large molecules at the clinical stages of development

• Oversee, develop, and troubleshoot the development activities at Contract Testing Labs and/or Contract Research Organizations

• Collaborate with the Analytical Development Team to support CMC control strategies and define critical quality attributes

• Support method development strategies through literature reviews, ICH and Regulatory guidelines, and practical experiences

• Author and review technical reports, validation protocols, regulatory components, and publications

• Deliver planned analytical activities in a deadline-driven environment through collaboration with a multi-disciplinary team, external partners, and vendors

Life at ImmunoGen

At ImmunoGen, we are looking for forward-thinking talent with diverse experiences and a track record of success, leadership skills, a demonstrated ability to take initiative, and a passion for improving the lives of those living with cancer. To succeed here is to care ― care about what we do, why we do it, and each other. We are working hard to bring hope to our patients and their families, which inspires our teams to aim high and honor our commitment to continuous improvement.

At ImmunoGen, collaboration is not a construct. It is at the core of everything we do and shows up in how we work every day. Here, your ideas and experience matter. We value driven individuals who thrive in a fast-paced environment; who can think about our future and see the promise before us; who anticipate risks and opportunities; who are willing to learn and adapt to change; who are inclusive and eager.

Together, we rise to the challenge before us, advancing our programs on the strength of our deep scientific and commercial expertise and energized by the opportunity to change long-standing treatment paradigms. We pride ourselves on the work that we do, and know that it is a privilege to work in the oncology space and to dedicate our days to helping patients.

Our Unique Opportunity

It's an exciting time for our organization. The US FDA recently granted accelerated approval for ELAHERE (mirvetuximab soravtansine-gynx) for the treatment of folate receptor alpha (FRα)-positive, platinum-resistant ovarian cancer, marking our transition into a fully-integrated oncology company. This is just the beginning, as we embark on an exciting new chapter as a leader in the development and commercialization of innovative oncology products.

Joining ImmunoGen now will give you the unique opportunity to create a lasting impact ― to make your mark on the work that we are doing by leveraging your experience to shape our first commercial launch and the go-forward organization.
