Who You Are

Drive the end‑to‑end Chemistry, Manufacturing & Controls strategy and implementation for various oligonucleotide (ASO, siRNA) assets in GondolaBio portfolio, owning all safety / quality, technical, and regulatory deliverables from late lead optimization through IND, clinical development, and commercial readiness.

Preferred Education and Experience

  • Ph.D. (or equivalent) in Chemistry, Chemical Engineering, Pharmaceutics, or related field; 10+ years progressive CMC leadership in oligonucleotide biotech / pharma.
  • Demonstrated success taking multiple oligonucleotide (ASO, siRNA) candidates from IND through >
  • ?Phase?II or NDA, including full CDMO oversight and regulatory interactions (FDA / EMA).
  • Deep expertise in oligonucleotide process development, DP formulation (SC, IT), analytical method validation, and cGMP supply‑chain management.
  • Experience in managing CMOs, scientific collaborations, and contracted R&D.
  • Author of multiple Module?3 (Quality) submissions and responsive to health‑authority queries.
  • Proven operator in compressed, resource‑lean biotech settings where every minute counts.
  • Strong attention to detail, and excellent oral and written communication skills.
  • High‑clarity communicator who excels in lean, fast‑moving settings.

    • Nice-to-Haves

  • Track record building scalable phase‑appropriate quality systems and vendor networks.
  • Comfort authoring CMC diligence assessments for in‑licensing or M&A opportunities.
  • Experience with accelerated development pathways (Fast Track, Breakthrough, RTOR) a plus.
  • No matter your role at GondolaBio, successful team members are Patient Champions , Entrepreneurial Operators , Truth Seekers , Individuals Who Inspire Excellence , and High‑quality executors .

    • What We Offer

  • Patient Days, where we are fortunate to hear directly from individuals living with the conditions we are seeking to impact throughout the year and learn how we can improve our efforts.
  • A culture inspired by our values : put patients first, think independently, be radically transparent, every minute counts, and let the science speak.
  • An unyielding commitment to always putting patients first.
  • A de‑centralized model that enables our program teams to focus on advancing science and helping patients. Our affiliate structure is designed to eliminate bureaucracy and put decision‑making power in the hands of those closest to the science.
  • A place where you own the vision – both for your program and your own career path.
  • A collaborative, fast‑paced, data‑driven environment where we inspire ourselves and each other to always perform at the top of our game.
  • Access to learning and development resources to help you get in the best professional shape of your life.
  • Robust and market‑competitive compensation & benefits package (Base, Performance Bonus, Equity, health, welfare & retirement programs).
  • Flexible PTO.
  • Rapid career advancement for strong performers.
  • Potential ability to work on multiple BridgeBio Pharma programs across multiple therapeutic areas over time – Partnerships with leading institutions.
  • Commitment to Diversity, Equity & Inclusion.

    • The base pay range for this position is $240,000 to $290,000 per year. The actual compensation offered will be determined based on a number of job‑related factors, including experience, skills, qualifications, and location. A bonus plan and equity will also be offered.
