What you need
- Bachelor’s degree minimum; advanced degree in life sciences, business, project/program management or a related discipline is advantageous.

- Demonstrated experience leading complex, cross-functional programs with multiple concurrent workstreams, ideally supporting more than one clinical development program.
- Strong track record of end-to-end project and program management, including development of integrated plans, identification of dependencies, milestone and deliverable tracking, risk management and proactive escalation.
- Experience working directly with senior executives, with the judgement, discretion and confidence to manage priorities on their behalf and drive follow-through across senior stakeholders.
- Demonstrated ability to manage an executive-level deliverables portfolio/calendar, spanning granular activities such as review and contribution to key documents through to strategic milestones, governance meetings and Board/investor deliverables.
