  • Review and approve manufacturing-related documentation, including change notifications, batch records, process development, tech transfer, process characterization, and validation protocols/reports.
  • Verify suitability, qualification, and validation status of processes at CDMOs and other external laboratories.
  • Provide technical support for GMP quality management systems, including deviations, investigations, CAPAs, change controls, regulatory submissions, and facility inspections.
  • Collaborate with internal and external project teams to support CMC development, clinical supply, commercialization, and lifecycle management of small molecule drug products.
  • Author and review technical documents and regulatory submission content, including INDs, IMPDs, and NDAs.
  • Maintain up-to-date knowledge of US and EU GMP requirements, ICH guidelines, and other regulatory expectations applicable to pharmaceutical development and manufacturing.
  • Review project scope, timelines, and deliverables to ensure CDMO activities meet contractual obligations, quality standards, and program objectives.
  • Additional duties assigned as needed.

Education/Experience Requirements:

  • B.S. degree in chemistry, biochemistry, pharmaceutical science, chemical engineering, or related Life Sciences discipline required. M.S. or Ph.D degree preferred. Equivalent combination of education and applicable job experience may be considered.
  • 8+ years of relevant experience required with emphasis on late-phase clinical development, scale-up, and commercialization.
  • Expert knowledge in process development, characterization studies, PPQ, and commercialization of small molecule APIs for solid oral dosage formulations.
  • Demonstrated experience managing and providing technical oversight of CDMOs and contract testing labs, preferably across global manufacturing and testing sites.
  • Broad knowledge and experience with phase-appropriate cGMP requirements and applicable US, EU, and ICH guidelines.
  • Demonstrated ability to prepare and review CMC sections of regulatory filings, including INDs, IMPDs, and NDAs.

Additional Skills/Experience:

  • The ideal candidate will embody Travere’s core values: Courage, Community Spirit, Patient Focus and Teamwork
  • Driven, intelligent, passionate about making a difference for patients with rare diseases.
  • Strong professional experience in a similar role within the pharmaceutical industry, preferably in small molecule development and manufacturing for solid oral dosage forms.
  • Successful record of creating and managing complex project plans, timelines, budgets, and development of risk mitigation strategies.
  • Ability to adapt to modification and changes to project plans, demonstrating flexibility to implement new strategies and tactics to accommodate these changes.
  • Team player and strong interpersonal and organizational skills and excellent verbal and written communication skills.
  • Excellent decision-making and collaboration skills with strong attention to detail.
  • Six Sigma and statistical knowledge is a plus.
  • Ability to travel 10-20% domestically and internationally.

  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
