Your Role

As Metrix continues to grow and our industry is increasingly disrupted by technology and innovation, we’re looking for an experienced Learning Project Manager to lead client projects and multidisciplinary teams across the pharmaceutical and life sciences sectors.

We’re looking for a strong project manager with life sciences or pharma agency experience, who has a passion for communicating in a corporate setting.

Through your client‑focus and commitment to excellence, you will ensure that our deliverables help each client meet their objectives.

• Act as a single point of contact for project leader in client organization
• Follow company best processes, practices and tools and support usage within the project team
• Manage your project team’s performance throughout the project life cycle (often managing multiple projects at a time)
• Oversee client learning solutions for a range of therapeutic areas and target audiences
• Contribute to writing and editing scientific or healthcare content when needed.
• Ensure referencing is complete to client and regulatory standards
• Ensure overall quality of work in terms of accuracy, consistency, writing style and visual design
• Interpret and incorporate feedback from colleagues and clients
• Oversee and provide leadership to your direct reports (if applicable), project team, and peers, through leading, coaching and consulting
• Collaborate effectively with colleagues and clients
• Demonstrate visible commitment to Metrix’s mission, vision, values, and business goals

YOUR QUALIFICATIONS

• Required experience managing multidisciplinary project teams in the pharmaceutical or life sciences industry
• Three to five years of experience in a pharmaceutical, life sciences, medical communications, or healthcare marketing agency environment.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects at the same time, and to work independently and collaborate in a high-performance team environment with demanding deadlines
• Experience reviewing healthcare or scientific materials for accuracy, clarity, consistency, and overall quality.
• A degree in the life sciences is an asset
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office
• Demonstrated skills in critical thinking and Design Thinking practices
• Experience working with or consulting to large or complex organizations
• Demonstrated ability navigating ambiguity and problem-solving capabilities
