Loyal is a clinical-stage veterinary medicine company developing longevity drugs for dogs. Our mission is to help dogs live longer, healthier lives.
We're pioneering a new category of veterinary prescription drugs that proactively and preventatively target the underlying drivers of aging, delaying the onset of disease and preserving quality of life as dogs age. We've already made significant progress in our mission to develop the first FDA-approved drugs to extend canine lifespan: as of early 2026 we've completed two of three major FDA review sections for our lead program, LOY-002, and are targeting submission of the third and final section later this year.
Loyal is a well-funded startup with teams of scientists, veterinarians, engineers, operators, and creatives. You'll help us continue on our path of earning FDA approval for the first lifespan extension medicine for any species, and change what's possible for the dogs we love.
The Director of CMC Quality Assurance will build and lead Loyal's CMC QA function, owning the quality systems, CDMO oversight, and PAI readiness that underpin our path to FDA approval and commercial launch. Reporting to the VP of Quality Assurance, this is a hands-on leadership role responsible for building what doesn't yet exist, not maintaining inherited infrastructure in a lean, fast-moving startup environment.
This person will work closely with CMC, Regulatory Affairs, and Supply Chain, and will serve as the primary QA voice on CMC program decisions, technical transfers, and regulatory submissions.
Salary Range: $155,000 - $205,000
Loyal is founded and led by a first-gen female CEO and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. We do not discriminate against applicants based on gender, race or color, ethnicity or national origin, age, disability, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, veteran status, or any other applicable characteristics protected by law.
We don’t settle for incremental change. We have the bravery to take risks and shoot for the impact we want to have.
We lean into combining disciplines, expertises, and perspectives not normally adjacent. We design our organization to facilitate cross-pollination and cross-collaboration. We reject silos.
Titles do not determine who has a voice. We work on hard technical problems and have a ton of fun while at it.
Our path is novel and many things we are doing have never been done before. We lean into MVPs and are open to unexpected outcomes.
We value leading with context. We equip people with the context and background necessary to make their own decisions and act in the best interest of Loyal. We empower teams to succeed.
Our patients are not just numbers. Our work is intentional, thoughtful, and guided by respect for life. We take our responsibility to pets and pet parents seriously.
