Remix Therapeutics is a clinical-stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering a new class of medicines that modulate RNA splicing to address the underlying biology of disease. Our lead program, REM-422, targets pre-mRNA splicing in oncology and represents a fundamentally differentiated approach to drug discovery. Headquartered in Watertown, MA, Remix is advancing its pipeline with the urgency and scientific rigor that patients deserve.
Position Summary:
Remix is seeking an exceptional Vice President of Quality to serve as the architect and guardian of our quality organization at a pivotal moment in our growth. Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer, this leader will define the global quality vision and build the systems, culture, and capabilities required to advance REM-422 from clinical development through potential commercialization.
This is a rare opportunity to build a world-class quality function from the ground up within a science-driven organization where quality is understood as a patient safety imperative — not a compliance afterthought. The VP of Quality will bring deep expertise across GxP disciplines, a risk-based mindset, and the leadership presence to inspire confidence across internal teams, external partners, and Health Authorities alike.

- Partner with Drug Safety/Pharmacovigilance to provide quality oversight of PV activities, including SAE reconciliation, SUSAR reporting, PBRER/DSUR quality review, and inspection readiness for safety databases and processes
- Ensure pharmacovigilance quality agreements and audit programs are in place with CROs and technology vendors supporting safety data collection and reporting
- Collaborate closely with Clinical Operations, Biostatistics, and Regulatory Affairs to ensure clinical data quality standards are embedded throughout trial execution
GMP & CMC Quality
- Oversee quality aspects of small molecule drug substance and drug product manufacturing, including batch review and product release at Contract Manufacturing Organizations (CMOs)
- Establish and maintain robust supplier qualification, oversight, and performance management programs for CMOs and Contract Research Organizations (CROs)
- Lead GMP vendor qualification audits and for-cause audits; maintain a risk-stratified audit schedule
- Partner with CMC, Regulatory, and Supply Chain to ensure product quality across the supply chain from development through commercial launch
Quality Systems & Training
- Own and continuously improve core QMS elements: document management, change control, deviation and CAPA management, risk management, and quality metrics
- Design and implement a robust GxP training program; ensure training compliance is maintained across all relevant functions and third-party partners
- Leverage quality metrics and KPIs to provide executive leadership with meaningful data-driven insights on quality performance and risk
