CMC and Clinical Supply Specialist

Remote · USA Full-time New today

Retro develops therapies for diseases driven by the biology of aging. We focus on cellular reprogramming and autophagy to rejuvenate cell and tissue function with the ultimate aim of adding 10 years to healthy human lifespan.

We’re building a mission-driven team of accomplished and kind individuals who embrace our startup culture of rapid iteration, transparency, and versatility.

Our autophagy program is advancing rapidly and leading the charge in translating our science into a first-in-human clinical trial, marking a major step toward delivering transformative therapies rooted in the biology of aging.

We’re hiring a new team member to coordinate and optimize the operational infrastructure needed to advance our autophagy-enhancing compounds into the clinic. In this highly cross-functional role, you’ll bridge drug development, Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC), supply chain, and clinical operations to ensure a seamless transition from discovery to first-in-human studies. You’ll focus on drug substance and product readiness, planning and managing clinical trial material (CTM) supply, and aligning cross-functional timelines to drive development forward. This role reports to the Head of Early Drug Development.

You share our sense of urgency and excitement, and thrive in fast-paced, interdisciplinary environments.

  • Collaborate with CDMOs, CROs, and clinical sites, managing day-to-day execution and vendor relationships.
  • Develop and manage budgets for clinical supply activities.
  • Ensure that all clinical supply activities adhere to quality standards and regulatory requirements.
  • You might thrive in this role if you have:

  • A bachelor’s degree in chemistry / Biochemistry or related field with >3 years in biotech/pharma.
  • An understanding of drug substance and drug product development (small molecules).
  • Familiarity with GMP requirements for clinical and commercial production.
  • Knowledge of analytical method development, stability studies, specification setting.
  • Basic understanding of regulatory documentation (Module 3 of the CTD, IND/IMPD content).
  • Experience with clinical trial supply planning, including labeling and packaging, import/export coordination, and depot and site distribution.
  • Experience working with CDMOs, CROs, and clinical sites.
  • Experience in forecasting and inventory management.
  • Excellent communication, interpersonal, and problem-solving skills.
  • It’s a bonus if you have:

  • Experience with IND/IMPD/CTN submissions.
  • Exposure to autophagy-related programs or aging biology.
  • Experience in early-phase trial logistics (e.g., CTN in Australia, global depot management).
  • Familiarity with eTMF or QMS systems.
  • Additional Information

    We take pride in cultivating an environment that fosters collaboration, open communication, and authenticity. We believe that great results are best delivered by a highly creative team working in concert. We are an equal opportunity employer; we do not discriminate based on race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
