Each of us cares about someone who will need medicines. That’s why our vision is to repeatedly beat the odds to deliver breakthrough medicines to patients that need them. We pursue truth and scientific rigour and have the courage to work at the edge of the unknown. 

We are looking for an experienced, hands-on QC Microbiology Lead - someone who wants to own a program end-to-end - from hands-on testing and troubleshooting to guiding the team around you. This is a primarily bench-based role; you will be in the lab daily, running and troubleshooting assays alongside your team rather than managing from a distance. You will bring deep technical expertise and a strong in-lab presence across microbial methods, EM programs, utilities monitoring, and contamination investigations, while also supporting broader QC functions such as stability, sample management, raw materials testing, and analytical assays including UPLC, ELISA, or spectrophotometry.

How you might spend your days

• Providing daily in-lab mentorship to the QC team, fostering strong technique, aseptic practices, and microbiological best practices
• Leading all Microbiology operations, including bioburden, endotoxin, microbial ID, growth promotion, EM sampling, water testing, and trending
• Troubleshooting microbiological assays, contamination events, and EM deviations, ensuring timely and compliant resolution
• Ensuring microbiology labs and adjacent QC spaces remain inspection-ready, including GMP housekeeping and equipment readiness
• Coordinating stability pulls, sample preparation, testing, and data tracking across QC programs
• Overseeing sample receipt, chain-of-custody, aliquoting, storage conditions, and distribution workflows
• Supporting routine sampling, testing, and trending of Utilities (WFI, clean steam, compressed gases) with appropriate documentation
• Reviewing micro data packages, protocols, reports, and testing documentation for accuracy and adherence to ALCOA++ principles
• Collaborating with Analytical Development, Quality Assurance, Materials, and Manufacturing teammates to ensure smooth operational flow and timely release/testing

We'd love to hear from you if

• You bring deep, hands-on microbiology experience in a regulated (GMP) QC environment, and are confident in leading microbial methods, EM programs, utilities monitoring, and contamination troubleshooting
• You have experience mentoring or leading team members working within microbiology labs or cleanroom/controlled environments
• You have 8+ years of hands-on QC microbiology experience in a GMP setting, in addition to a Bachelor’s degree in Microbiology or a related life sciences field
• You communicate clearly, collaborate well, and maintain calm, structured decision-making under pressure
• You demonstrate strong ownership, accountability, and a solutions-focused mindset when supporting analysts or resolving micro-related issues
• You are organized, detail-oriented, and committed to inspection readiness and data integrity
• You thrive in an environment requiring in-lab leadership, cross-functional coordination, and prioritization of operational needs
• You have experience with stability programs, sample management workflows, and raw materials testing coordination
• You are familiar with analytical assays such as UPLC, ELISA, or spectrophotometry (desirable)

What we offer

AbCellera’s hiring range for this role is CAD $105,600 - $132,000 annually, commensurate with your education and job-related knowledge, skills, and experience. In addition to base salary, we offer equity, annual bonus dependent on team and company performance, and a 6% (non-match) RRSP contribution. 

You will have a CAD $1,500 annual Active Lifestyle Allowance, annual vacation, professional development opportunities, and comprehensive health benefits. Scientific and technical mentorship is a priority. And you’ll find a strong sense of community and connections across AbCellera through our work, clubs, and socials.

About AbCellera

Creating medicines is the most important work we can do.

We are a clinical-stage biotechnology company focused on discovering and developing antibody-based medicines in the areas of endocrinology, women’s health, immunology, and oncology.

• Supporting the operation, administration, and lifecycle management of QC laboratory electronic systems (eSystems), ensuring they effectively support sample management, analysis, data acquisition, data review, and result reporting in compliance with global GMP, data integrity, and regulatory requirements
• Contributing to the design, implementation, and evolution of the QC data architecture, identifying eSystem capabilities needed to support QC workflows, data integrity (ALCOA++), and phase-appropriate compliance
• Supporting the Business Process Owner (BPO) for QC laboratory systems (e.g. LIMS, LES, CDS), overseeing system changes, enhancements, and upgrades throughout the system lifecycle
• Overseeing and maintaining QC eSystems master data, including user roles, permissions, system configurations, and controlled data objects
• Developing, reviewing, and maintaining GMP procedures, work instructions, controlled documentation, and training materials governing the compliant and effective use, administration, and data management of QC eSystems, including delivery of end-user training sessions
• Providing QC eSystem support for investigations, deviations, and CAPAs, including data retrieval, audit trail review, and system impact assessments
• Supporting qualification and computer system validation activities for QC systems (e.g., protocol and risk assessment review, validation deviations/exceptions, and lifecycle documentation)
• Supporting QC eSystem licensing, user access, vendor relationships, and budgeting/forecasting for QC digital infrastructure
