Position Summary:

Vaxcyte is looking for a distinguished Director of Immunoassay Development to spearhead and lead a dedicated analytical function focused on immunoassay development for intricate conjugated vaccines. This role will involve building and managing a laboratory team tasked with the development, maintenance, and continuous enhancement of potency- and antigenicity-based immunoassays to support CMC development from preclinical stages through BLA-stage programs and commercialization.

A primary focus for this role will be the stewardship of the VAX-31 MSD immunoassay platform, which has advanced to Phase 3 due to extensive internal leadership in clinical serology, GLP studies, and immunoassay development. The ideal candidate will collaborate closely with the current immunoassay leadership to ensure effective knowledge transfer, maintain scientific and execution excellence, and ensure the long-term sustainability of the immunoassay strategy as accountability transitions into Analytical Development.

This is a hands-on scientific leadership position embedded within CMC execution.
