The role
Summary of Position
Scholar Rock is seeking an experienced and motivated Director of Global Quality Control to support commercial readiness and ongoing commercial QC operations. Reporting to the Sr. Dir Product Quality, this position is a key QC leader responsible for advancing an inspection-ready, globally compliant commercial QC framework within a fully outsourced manufacturing and testing network. This role provides technical and operational leadership for commercial release and stability testing, specification lifecycle management, analytical method lifecycle activities, external laboratory oversight, and QC support for post-approval changes, regulatory commitments, and global market supply.
Scholar Rock is delivering muscle-targeted breakthroughs to transform the treatment of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) and other rare neuromuscular diseases where muscle atrophy remains a critical unmet need.
As a global leader in myostatin biology, a field focused on proteins that regulate muscle mass, the biopharmaceutical company is named for the visual resemblance of a scholar rock to protein structures. Our commitment to unlock fundamentally different treatment approaches is powered by broad application of a proprietary platform, which has developed novel monoclonal antibodies to modulate protein growth factors with extraordinary selectivity. Scholar Rock works every day to create new possibilities for patients through its highly innovative anti-myostatin program, including opportunities in additional rare neuromuscular diseases.
