CMC and Clinical Supply Specialist

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.

About you:

You share our sense of urgency and excitement, and thrive in fast-paced, interdisciplinary environments. You work well independently but will also enjoy being part of a highly-collaborative, multi-disciplinary team. You are excited to take on tough challenges and contribute to advancing therapies that extend healthy human lifespan!

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.
