Supervisor Quality Control Lab Operations

Build our future together:

At Regeneron, we use science and innovation to develop life-changing medicines for people with serious diseases. We’re hiring a Supervisor of Quality Control (QC) Lab Operations to support our new, highly automated drug substance manufacturing facility. The Supervisor leads a team that manages the technical and operational lifecycle of QC laboratories, including new builds, fit-outs, relocations, technology implementation, and ongoing capability upgrades. Maintaining a portfolio-level view of lab demand, capacity, equipment, data flow, and staffing, the Supervisor sets priorities that align with QC and site objectives. They are accountable for the quality, schedule, and compliance of team deliverables (qualification packages, CSV support, SOPs, and analyst readiness), partner with cross-functional teams, and apply FDA cGMP and ALCOA+ expertise to keep changes inspection-ready and represent the team in inspections and audits.

This role requires:

• BS/BA in Life Sciences, Chemistry, or Engineering discipline and 5+ years of experience; or an equivalent combination of education and experience
