Clear and professional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work collaboratively across multidisciplinary teams.
Basic knowledge of project planning concepts including tasks, milestones, dependencies, owners, risks, and due dates.

Support the successful delivery of marketing and advertising projects from initiation through completion.
Coordinate project activities, timelines, milestones, and deliverables while ensuring work progresses according to plan.
Begin managing low-complexity projects or workstreams with guidance from senior Project Management team members.
Create and maintain project timelines, schedules, and status reports.
Monitor project progress, dependencies, and deadlines, identifying risks or delays early.
Support resource planning efforts by ensuring project requirements and timing are accurately reflected.
Support project budget tracking, estimates, scope changes, and financial documentation.
Develop an understanding of project financial management, including budgets, change requests, out-of-scope work, and project reporting.
Escalate potential scope, timing, or budget concerns in a timely manner.
Ensure projects follow established agency, client, and regulatory processes.
Maintain accurate project documentation, approvals, routing records, and project files.
Support quality control procedures to ensure deliverables meet project and client requirements.
Partner closely with Client Service, Creative, Medical and Regulatory, Production, Technology, and other cross-functional teams.
Facilitate clear communication through status updates, meeting recaps, action items, and project reporting.
Build strong working relationships and contribute to a collaborative, solutions-oriented team environment.
Develop knowledge of project management best practices, agency operations, healthcare marketing, and pharmaceutical review processes.
Demonstrate accountability, curiosity, and a willingness to learn new tools, processes, and ways of working.
Seek opportunities to improve efficiency, strengthen project management skills, and prepare for progression into a Project Manager role.
