At Dyne, we are on a mission to deliver functional improvement for individuals, families and communities.

The Director, Clinical Quality Assurance leads GCP compliance and quality oversight for clinical programs and commercial products. This role is responsible for developing and implementing risk-based strategies; managing audits, inspections, and vendor oversight; and ensuring global regulatory compliance.

The role is based in Waltham, MA and is not remote.

  • Conduct and / or manage the qualification and oversight of service providers
  • Ensure service providers adhere to quality programs and applicable regulations, maintaining inspection readiness
  • Assess and elevate compliance risks identified through audits to protect subject safety, data integrity, and business continuity
  • Lead or support the preparation for and response to regulatory audits and inspections, ensuring adherence to requirements and timely resolution of findings

Support investigational new drug (IND) applications and related correspondence with global regulatory authorities.

Education and Skills Requirements

  • Bachelor’s degree in a scientific, allied health, or medical field required; Master’s degree preferred
  • Minimum of 10 years of progressive experience in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry, including at least 5 years in a Clinical Quality Assurance role (or an equivalent combination of PV and QA experience)

  • Proven experience developing and implementing risk‑based clinical quality assurance programs
  • Demonstrated success leading clinical site and supplier audits, managing regulatory inspections, and responding to findings
  • Skilled at effectively communicating quality events and outcomes to internal stakeholders
  • Excellent interpersonal, verbal, and written communication skills
  • Working knowledge of multiple therapeutic areas is a plus
  • Results‑oriented, with the ability to set clear objectives, manage competing priorities, and meet dynamic timelines
