About You
You're a strategic and solutions-focused Senior Project Manager with a strong track record of delivering projects in regulated environments. While you're confident stepping back to plan and guide the bigger picture, you're just as comfortable in the detail doing the doing, rolling up your sleeves, and working alongside the team to make sure projects land successfully. Your approach combines commercial acumen with strong stakeholder engagement and a sharp eye for compliance, risk, and value delivery.
The key to your success will be your demonstrated experience in the following:
- Highly developed project planning, coordination and management skills with the ability to work simultaneously across multiple projects.
- Excellent organisational skills, adaptability and the ability to work under pressure, set priorities and meet competing deadlines.
- Building collaborative relationships with internal stakeholders and clients, foster effective partnerships, build networks and mentor and develop people.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving and decision-making skills with the ability to identify trends, establish benchmarks and provide credible analyses and operational recommendations.
- Previous experience working in clinical research or within the pharmaceutical/biotech industry with knowledge of GCP (desirable).
If you meet most, but not all of the criteria, we still encourage you to apply.
