Original job description

Who We Are:

Xenon Pharmaceuticals (NASDAQ:XENE) is a neuroscience-focused biopharmaceutical company dedicated to drug discovery, clinical development, and commercialization of life-changing therapeutics for patients in need. We are looking for great people who thrive in a respectful, collaborative, inclusive, and productive culture to join the Xenon team.

What We Do:

We are advancing an exciting product pipeline to address indications with high unmet medical need, including epilepsy, depression and pain. Our Phase 3 azetukalner program represents the most advanced, clinically validated potassium channel modulator in late-stage clinical development for multiple indications. In March 2026, we announced positive topline data from our Phase 3 X-TOLE2 study of azetukalner in focal onset seizures (FOS), and we anticipate submitting a New Drug Application to the Food and Drug Administration in the third quarter of 2026. Our Phase 3 epilepsy program also includes a second FOS study, X-TOLE3, which would support regulatory submissions outside the U.S., and the X-ACKT study in primary generalized tonic-clonic seizures, which would support regulatory submissions for an additional epilepsy indication. We also have multiple Phase 3 azetukalner clinical trials underway in major depressive disorder (MDD) and bipolar depression (BPD), based on topline data from our Phase 2 X-NOVA clinical trial. In addition, we are proud of our strong heritage in human genetics, deep understanding of ion channel biology, and expertise in novel chemistries to enable potent, selective ion channel targeting. We continue to advance an early-stage pipeline of novel therapeutic candidates, including Phase 1 studies for XEN1701 and XEN1720 (targeting Nav1.7) and XEN1120 (targeting Kv7), which are being developed for pain. Backed by a strong balance sheet to support our growth plans, we continue to build a fully integrated, premier neuroscience company with strong discovery, clinical development, corporate, and commercial operations.

About the Role:

We are seeking an experienced Senior Manager/Associate Director, Quality Control to lead Quality Control activities supporting clinical and commercial drug substance (DS) and drug product (DP) programs in accordance with ICH and cGMP requirements. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in small molecules, with experience spanning early to late clinical phases through registration, PPQ, and commercial stages. This role requires expertise in managing analytical testing, specifications, stability program, reference standards, investigations, and quality control oversight across DS and DP manufacturing and testing campaigns. The ideal candidate will be collaborative, science and data driven, and thrive working in a fast-paced environment.

This position reports to the Director, Quality Control and will be based out of Vancouver, BC, Canada. The level of the position will be commensurate with the candidate’s education and industry experience. Hybrid positions require a minimum of two onsite days per week. On-site positions require up to five on-site days per week.

RESPONSIBILITIES:

Review, manage all analytical/non-analytical results for product release, and stability, including OOS and OOT observations. Organize and file internal and external quality control data, protocols, and reports.
Lead the assigned program’s stability activities, including trending, statistical evaluation, and scientific interpretation of stability data to assess product performance throughout its lifecycle, support shelf-life extensions and expiry dating justifications, and proactively identify and evaluate emerging stability risks and trends.
Manage the reference standard program for the assigned clinical/commercial program at dedicated external labs, including qualification and distribution of reference standards to all manufacturing & testing facilities.
Manage master specifications for starting materials, reference standards, API, and drug products for assigned clinical/commercial program(s).
Manage stability studies for reference standards, API, and drug products for assigned programs. Compile stability protocols and monitor all stability data, including shelf-life trending and extensions.
Lead investigations and draft reports for out-of-specification (OOS) and out-of-trend (OOT) results during release and stability testing in close collaboration with internal teams and external testing labs.
Manage the review and approval workflow for feasibility/comparability studies, validation protocols, reports, and test methods with internal experts and external partners.
Lead quality control checks on the CMC sections of regulatory submissions (e.g., Investigational New Drugs (INDs), Clinical Trial Applications (CTAs), and New Drug Applications (NDAs).
In collaboration with QA, manage internal release documents for drug substances, drug products, and reference standards, including Certificate of Analysis and Certificate of Testing in collaboration with quality assurance.
Effectively collaborate with colleagues in Drug Product and API groups, such that deliverables are optimal for use in clinical trial material.
Ensure effective working relationships with external laboratories and CMOs, participate in remote audits, and perform on-site audits as required.
Provide technical knowledge of quality control to support the transfer of new drug candidates from research/discovery groups to the CMC drug development team.
Oversee the movement of samples between external testing partners and CMOs for tech transfers, release, and stability testing of assigned program(s).
Engage in and ensure compliance with appropriate quality functions, including deviations, change controls, and CAPAs.
May recruit, lead, direct, develop, coach and evaluate direct reports, if any, in accordance with the Company’s Human Resource policies and practices.
Act in accordance with Company policies, including, for example, the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and ensure policies are understood and followed by direct reports, if any.
Some international travel may be required.
Other duties as assigned.

QUALIFICATIONS:

An undergraduate degree in life sciences, with 5+ years (Senior Manager level) or 8+ years (Associate Director level) of relevant management experience in the pharmaceutical industry (small molecules and/or biologics).
Previous experience working with external testing laboratories; independently and influences in a fast-paced environment, while exhibiting a strong quality mindset.
Comfortable working across locations and time zones.
Experience auditing external laboratories, FDA/EMA inspections, and inspection readiness is preferred.
Strong experience with quality control testing, stability program management in accordance with ICH guidelines, master specifications, method validations, investigations (OOS/OOT), batch release processes, and quality management systems are required.
Prior experience with IND, NDA and/or CTA CMC submissions is preferred; knowledge of cGMP and the US, Canadian, and EU regulatory environments.
Collaboration and inclusion between external testing labs and cross-functional CMC teams are essential.
Excellent oral and written communication skills and previous team leadership experience.
Willingness to travel up to 20% of the time domestically and internationally.

Our Total Rewards program includes base salary, target bonus, and stock options, as well as a full range of benefits including medical, dental, vision, short-& long-term disability, accidental death & dismemberment, and life insurance programs, Employee Assistance Program, travel insurance, and retirement savings programs with company matching contributions.
