Work In Tech

AbCellera is transforming antibody drug discovery to bring better medicines to patients more quickly. We are constructing a process development and manufacturing facility in Vancouver, Canada, where our Tech Ops team of scientists and engineers will oversee the manufacturing processes for antibody therapeutics.

The Computer Systems Validation (CSV) Manager for both Enterprise level and Manufacturing Computer Systems is an innovative role within AbCellera Digital Quality. This is a role responsible to lead, guide and support cross-functional teams in the adoption and application of risk-based Computer Software Validation/Computer Software Assurance practices to enable an interconnected/interoperable and GxP compliant digital ecosystem at AbCellera. This role is hands-on, highly cross-functional, and will work closely with IT and business stakeholders to support the validation of multiple systems including those supporting R&D, Manufacturing, Quality Control and Quality.

AbCellera’s engine integrates expert teams, technology, and facilities with the data science and automation needed to propel antibody-based medicines from target to clinic in nearly every therapeutic area with precision and speed. AbCellera provides innovative biotechs and leading pharmaceutical companies with a competitive advantage that empowers them to move quickly, reduce cost, and tackle the toughest problems in drug development.

We’re offering a generous compensation package including an equity stake in AbCellera’s success. Our future facility will be nestled in the heart of Vancouver, Canada - we’ll support you and your family in every way we can to relocate if you haven't had the joy of living in this beautiful area!
