Discovery Biotherapeutics at AbbVie is seeking a highly skilled, self-motivated scientist to join a dynamic team supporting the design, engineering, and manufacturing of multispecifics. This position will have a significant impact by managing a group of scientists focused on design, production, and characterization of multispecific biopharmaceutical products. The ideal candidate will have extensive experience with biologics and multispecific production platforms, analytical characterization, and a proven track record of implementing multispecific engineering and production strategies to advance early- and late-stage discovery programs in ADCs and immuno-oncology. The ideal candidate should also have experience managing a small multispecific engineering team in a discovery setting. The successful applicant will be an enthusiastic, creative scientist who makes tangible contributions to continuous improvement and innovation within the organization.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, engineering, and production of multispecific biologics to support AbbVie’s Oncology therapeutic area; apply design and engineering experience with multispecific biologics for ADC and immuno-oncology applications.
• Manage a group of scientists within the multispecific team, focusing on the design, production, characterization of multispecific biologics, and management of multispecific inventory.
• Serve as the biologics lead on multispecific biologics projects, coordinating activities and transitions from hit generation through candidate nomination.
• Serve as a multispecific engineering representative on cross-functional teams; recognized as an expert in multispecific design and production.
• Identify and solve technical problems independently, conceive, and implement innovative processes in research ideas.
• Present original work internally across departments and at internal and external scientific conferences; may author or co-author peer-reviewed scientific papers or patents.
