Ideal Candidate Profile

The ideal candidate is a highly organized, communicative, and proactive recent graduate or early-career professional who enjoys coordinating people and information. They should be comfortable following up with different stakeholders, keeping information organized, identifying what is still outstanding, and making sure the right information reaches the right person at the right time.

A pharmaceutical or life sciences background is highly desirable because the role will involve working with a client in the pharmaceutical industry and understanding industry-specific terminology and context. However, the role is intentionally designed for a junior candidate, and extensive pharmaceutical or project management experience is not required.

The successful candidate should be viewed as a strong Project Coordinator / Project Management support resource, rather than an experienced Project Manager.

Location

Atlanta, GA preferred.

Target Experience: 0–2 years

Education: Bachelor's degree preferred; recent graduates encouraged to apply.

Note: An MBA is not required for this position.
