• Build strong, collaborative relationships with Customers, understanding their needs and representing their interests on-site.
• Apply PM Standard Work processes to effectively manage projects and ensure “one face to the Customer.”
• Lead and motivate cross-functional teams to achieve program objectives with the highest level of operational excellence.
• Ensure Customer satisfaction throughout the lifecycle of the program, working closely with Account Management and Sales.
• Ensure adherence to Global Program and Project Management CoE (PPM CoE) standards, maintaining data integrity and excellence in Planview.

What we’re looking for

• Proven experience in program or project management, ideally in a pharmaceutical, biotech, or life sciences environment.
• Strong leadership skills with the ability to influence and motivate cross-functional teams.
