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.

If you're looking to launch your career in quality assurance within the biotech industry, this is a great place to start. As a Quality Associate, you'll play a hands-on role supporting the systems, records, and processes that keep our Quality Assurance, Quality Systems & Compliance, and Supplier Quality teams running smoothly - and ultimately help us deliver on our growing portfolio of antibody-based medicines.

• Writing and maintaining standard operating procedures and work instructions to keep our documentation practices on track
• Reviewing and approving documents to ensure records are accurate, complete, and meet internal quality standards, and supporting the process of updating and issuing controlled documents when changes are needed
• Archiving physical and digital records - including scanning, organizing, and cataloging batch records and logbooks - and keeping our document archive accurate, organized, and audit-ready
• Supporting our training platform (Veeva Vault) by reviewing course content and helping ensure training records stay current
• Contributing to routine document reviews and helping track quality metrics used in management reporting
• Providing administrative support during internal audits and regulatory inspections
• Managing user access in Veeva, responding to system support requests, and helping build dashboards that track quality data in real time
• Supporting workflows in SAP, coordinating with suppliers on change notifications and quality communications, and assisting with vendor documentation and batch record collation for product release activities

• You've worked with digital platforms or systems before and are eager to learn new tools like SAP and Veeva - we'll set you up for success
• You have a basic awareness of documentation practices and are comfortable following structured processes in a regulated or professional environment
• You express yourself well in writing and in conversation, work effectively with others, and aren't afraid to ask questions or flag concerns when something doesn't look right

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. We have built a platform for advancing antibody drug programs from target to clinic, and we are using it to build our internal pipeline.

Today, our pipeline includes two drug candidates in clinical development, two preclinical development candidates (DCs) in Investigational New Drug (IND)-enabling activities, and more than 20 active discovery programs across multiple modalities and indications.

We believe that when tenacious people share a vision and work together, they can truly have a positive impact. That’s why we hire for character and intelligence, not just for CVs or experience. 

We look for people with drive and energy. People we trust. People who need to know their days are being well spent. That their work really matters. In the end, our success will be measured by the impact of our medicines.
