About the role
Join our Mission to Protect Humankind!
Vaxcyte is a clinical-stage vaccine innovation company engineering high-fidelity vaccines to protect humankind from the consequences of bacterial diseases, which have serious and costly health consequences when left unchecked. Working to eradicate or treat bacterial infections such as invasive pneumococcal disease, Group A Strep, and Shigella is just the beginning. Our path to success is clear and well-defined, and Vaxcyte is set up to go the distance.
WHAT we do is every bit as important as HOW we do it! Our work together is guided by four enduring core values:
*RETHINK CONVENTION: We bring creative and intellectual diversity to every facet of the work we do in order to innovate and re-innovate the way vaccines are delivered.
*AIM HIGH: We embody our collectively audacious goal to courageously make the most complex biologics ever attempted to protect humankind.
*LEAD WITH HEART: Everyone leads at Vaxcyte with a kindness-first, inclusive approach to collaboration and vigorous debate that advances our business objectives.
*MODEL EXCELLENCE: The magnitude of our challenge requires our shared commitment to demonstrating integrity, accountability, equality and clarity across communications and decision making.
Summary:
This role is pivotal in ensuring compliance with global regulatory guidelines and supporting our pipeline of high-fidelity vaccines. Vaxcyte is looking for an energetic and talented individual to join our Quality Assurance team as a Senior Director. This role carries dual accountability: providing direct QA support to the analytical operations based in Switzerland, while also managing the San Carlos-based QA team responsible for oversight of smaller-scale analytical activities. The Senior Director will be expected to operate effectively across both sites, navigating the distinct regulatory environments and operational cadences of each. The primary responsibility will be the QA oversight of QC activities associated with Vaxcyte’s PCV Polysaccharides and Drug Substances. The Senior Director will work closely with internal teams (Process Development, MSAT, Quality Control, Regulatory, and Stability) and external partners (CDMOs and CTLs) to maintain the compliance of the analytical program.
