Senior Project Manager, CMC

As the Senior Project Manager CMC, Drug Product, you will play a key role in driving late-stage CMC development activities, lifecycle management, and regulatory filing readiness for Genmab’s growing Peto program. This role has a primary focus on drug product development, manufacturing, and lifecycle management and requires a professional with deep expertise in drug product CMC activities who can operate across analytical, manufacturing, quality, and operational project management activities.
