Synthetic Chemist

Required

• A passion for advancing medicinal chemistry programs through practical, hands-on synthetic chemistry.
• Deep knowledge of modern synthetic methods, with a strong understanding of what works in practice at the bench.
• A track record of solving complex synthetic challenges across diverse chemotypes, reaction types, and scales.
• Experience mentoring junior chemists or technicians and sharing practical laboratory expertise.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to clearly articulate synthetic strategies and troubleshoot challenges with cross-functional teams.
• Demonstrated experience managing synthesis CROs, including both FTE-based teams and fee-for-service projects across multiple partners.
• Strategic thinking around material supply, including when to optimize routes, develop key intermediates, and scale synthesis to support program needs.
• Curiosity about emerging technologies and an interest in applying AI agents and digital tools to improve synthesis workflows.
