Almac Group is a global leader in advancing human health. We provide a range of expert services across the drug development lifecycle to pharmaceutical and biotech companies, supporting them in finding treatments for patients.

• Maintaining project documentation and governance standards
• Supporting continuous improvement and best practice within the PMO function

Joining Almac means becoming part of a fast-paced, growing organisation within a highly regulated industry. We offer a supportive and collaborative working environment, with excellent opportunities for learning, development and long-term career progression across the Almac Group.

Our approach is simple – we support, develop and reward our people, build fulfilling careers and together we advance human health. More information can be found here; Life at Almac - Almac.
