The posting

Scholar Rock is delivering muscle-targeted breakthroughs to transform the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and other rare neuromuscular diseases where muscle atrophy remains a critical unmet need.

As a global leader in myostatin biology, a field focused on proteins that regulate muscle mass, the biopharmaceutical company is named for the visual resemblance of a scholar rock to protein structures. Our commitment to unlock fundamentally different treatment approaches is powered by broad application of a proprietary platform, which has developed novel monoclonal antibodies to modulate protein growth factors with extraordinary selectivity. Scholar Rock works every day to create new possibilities for patients through its highly innovative anti-myostatin program, including opportunities in additional rare neuromuscular diseases.

Investigations, Change Control & Technical Leadership: Lead or support deviations, atypical results, process excursions, change controls, technical/risk assessments, CAPAs, and issue resolution for downstream manufacturing processes. Present technical analyses, manufacturing trends, and process performance updates to cross-functional teams and leadership. Documentation & Regulatory Support: Review and author GMP manufacturing documentation, batch records, technical reports, , and regulatory submission content. Support health authority responses, post-approval changes, inspections, and regulatory interactions as the downstream process SME.
