Job Details

About Omega Therapeutics:

Omega Therapeutics is a privately held, development-stage biotechnology company leveraging its proprietary epigenomic programming platform to biologically engineer a new class of programmable epigenetic medicines, known as Omega Epigenomic Controllers. Using these epigenomic controllers, Omega is seeking to transform the practice of human medicine through highly selective and direct control of the human genome to treat and cure disease.

Omega Therapeutics leverages its pioneering Epigenomic Programming™ platform to identify novel targets, develop first-in-class programmable epigenetic medicines, and enable rational drug development and manufacturing. Omega examines Insulated Genomic Domains (IGDs), the three-dimensional architecture of the human genome and its accompanying regulators and has identified and classified thousands of genomic “zip codes” across the ~15,000 IGDs as new drug targets. Omega's new class of medicine, called Omega Epigenomic Controllers™, modulate IGDs using therapeutics that can be programmed to precisely up or down regulate single or multi-gene expression with controlled durability. These epigenomic controllers intervene at the pre-transcriptional level and they function without altering the native human genetic code or nucleic acid sequences. Using a rational and robust target identification and validation process, enhanced by a strong computational and data driven foundation, Omega is able to efficiently design and optimize potential epigenomic controllers from its platform. This entirely new and breakthrough approach allows the Company's product candidates to also drug previously ‘undruggable' targets across a broad range of diseases.

The Company is strategically pursuing specific disease targets that have not been successfully addressed through conventional modalities, including certain oncology indications, liver disease, serious inflammatory conditions, and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) among others. Omega's mission is to deliver the transformative therapies of tomorrow.

  • Support country logistics for shipping and importation
  • Responsible for developing and formalizing robust processes/procedures related to Clinical Supply Chain activities in compliance with global regulations
  • Develop an Inventory strategy per program, study and region
  • Regularly monitor drug expiry and the appropriate inventory re-supply
  • Monitoring of enrolment, drop-out rates and actual supply needs; ensure continuous re-assessment of Project needs
  • Responsible for the sourcing of comparators and matching placebo as needed
  • Design, develop, implement and drive processes for label creation and approvals, including translations for all countries
  • Capable of developing a budget for each study
  • Develop and support a vendor management process including Vendor selection for each program/study, RFP and SOWs with vendors; develop and support the governance process with external vendors
  • Work with vendors to generate inventory reports and regularly review budget and spending
  • Support of regulatory filings including IND submission information
  • Monitor conformance to Clinical Supplies Inventory Management with Interactive Response Technology (IRT) standards
  • Design, implement and oversee return and destruction of IMPs from sites
  • Hire, train, mentor and retain Supply Chain team; plan, direct and monitor work activities such that goals and objectives are accomplished efficiently, completely within established timeframes and compliance

Required Skills:
  • Complete and advanced understanding cGMP and cGCP requirements for clinical supply chain

Company

Omega Therapeutics is a publicly held, development-stage biotechnology company pioneering a new class of DNA-sequence-targeting, mRNA-encoded therapeutics to transform human medicine. The OMEGA Epigenomic Programming™ platform harnesses the power of epigenetics, the mechanism that systematically controls every aspect of an organism’s life from cell genesis, to growth and differentiation. The OMEGA platform has identified thousands of novel DNA-sequence-based epigenomic targets within Insulated Genomic Domains (IGDs), referred to as EpiZips™. IGDs represent the three-dimensional, distinct, and evolutionarily conserved architecture of the genome, and are the fundamental structural and functional units of gene control and cell differentiation. They act as the “control room” of biology. The OMEGA platform examines alterations in IGDs leading to aberrant gene expression, a cause of most disease. It then leverages its database of EpiZips to identify appropriate intervention points within the IGDs and rationally designs biologically engineered, modular, and programmable mRNA-encoded epigenetic medicines, called Omega Epigenomic Controllers™, to target EpiZips for Precision Genomic Control™. With its computation- and data-first approach, Omega Therapeutics is currently advancing a broad pipeline of programs that span regenerative medicine, multigenic diseases including immunology, oncology, and select monogenic diseases.
