See who Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals has hired for this role
Arrowhead Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (Nasdaq: ARWR) is a clinical stage biopharmaceutical company that develops medicines that treat intractable diseases by silencing the genes that cause them. Using a broad portfolio of RNA chemistries and efficient modes of delivery, Arrowhead therapies trigger the RNA interference mechanism to induce rapid, deep, and durable knockdown of target genes. RNA interference, or RNAi, is a mechanism present in living cells that inhibits the expression of a specific gene, thereby affecting the production of a specific protein. Arrowhead’s RNAi-based therapeutics leverage this natural pathway of gene silencing.
Arrowhead is focused on developing innovative drugs for diseases with a genetic basis, typically characterized by the overproduction of one or more proteins that are involved with disease. The depth and versatility of our RNAi technologies enables us to potentially address conditions in virtually any therapeutic area and pursue disease targets that are not otherwise addressable by small molecules and biologics. Arrowhead is leading the field in bringing the promise of RNAi to address diseases outside of the liver, and our clinical pipeline includes disease targets in the liver and lung with a promising pipeline of preclinical candidates.
Arrowhead’s corporate headquarters is in Pasadena, CA with research and development teams in Madison, WI and San Diego, CA. Our employees are nimble, science-driven innovators who are collaborating to bring new therapies to patients in need.
The Position
This position will lead and participate in Good Clinical Practice, Good Laboratory Practice, Good Pharmacovigilance (GCP/GLP/GVP) audits for clinical research involving pharmaceutical products, including compliance oversight and coordination of the Vendor Qualifications and Clinical Site Audit programs within Quality Assurance. Audit types will include leading audits of clinical investigator sites, vendors, systems/processes, and clinical documents to ensure that Arrowhead is meeting its regulatory GCP and applicable regulatory requirements. This position will be involved in issue management, non-conformances, deviations, and corrective/preventive actions (CAPAs), including generation of risk-based audit plans for vendor, system, and clinical site audits. In addition, this position is responsible for the provision of consultation and advice with respect to GCP to R&D and other relevant internal business partners.
Responsibilities
$120,000—$145,000 USD
Arrowhead provides competitive salaries and an excellent benefit package.
