- Timeline & Budget Management: Develop detailed project plans, define milestones, manage resource allocation, and track budgets up to successful closure.
- Risk & Compliance: Ensure all projects strictly adhere to global regulatory standards (e.g., FDA, ISO 13485, GMP). Identify potential bottlenecks early and implement mitigation strategies.
- Stakeholder Communication: Provide clear, concise progress reports and presentations to local leadership and global stakeholders.
What We Are Looking For
- Proven track record of managing multiple technical projects within a Pharmaceutical, Medical Device, or highly regulated manufacturing environment.
- Strong working knowledge of Validation protocols (IQ/OQ/PQ), QA processes, or the implementation/upgrade of MES (Manufacturing Execution Systems).
- Formal project management certification (e.g., PRINCE2, PMP, or Agile) is highly desirable.
Personal Attributes
- Resilient & Adaptable: Thrives in a fast-paced, evolving manufacturing environment.
- Strong Communicator: Ability to influence and build relationships with technical experts and senior business leaders alike.
