Role Purpose

The Strategic Project Manager will drive end-to-end execution of Pharma BU’s India 2.0 agenda — turning strategy into prioritized programs, shipped outcomes, measurable value, and institutionalized ways of working. The role acts as the execution engine and governance anchor, ensuring cross-functional alignment across Product Management, Engineering/R&D, Localization, Procurement, Quality/Regulatory, Manufacturing/Partners, Digital/Automation, Order-to-Delivery, and Service.

Core mission:

Deliver profitable growth + speed + competitiveness through a structured portfolio of initiatives (localization, product/solution fit, cost-out, supply readiness, service capability, digital/automation enablement, and operating-model upgrades).

1) Portfolio & Program Leadership (Strategy → Execution)

  • Translate India 2.0 Pharma strategy into a well-structured initiative portfolio: charters, milestones, business cases, dependencies.
  • Build and maintain an integrated master plan across functions, vendors, and global stakeholders.
  • Run workstream governance: cadence, reviews, RAID logs (Risks/Assumptions/Issues/Dependencies), decision registers.

2) Business Case & Value Realization (Make it measurable)

  • Drive initiative business cases: margin impact, cost-out, lead-time reduction, working capital, revenue acceleration.
  • Set up benefits tracking with Finance: baseline, targets, monthly realization, variance analysis, corrective actions.
  • Ensure initiatives are sequenced for value (quick wins + structural improvements).

3) Cross-Functional Execution & Delivery Management

  • Orchestrate collaboration across Product Management, Engineering, Procurement, Manufacturing/Partners, QA, Regulatory, Sales, Service, Finance.
  • Ensure deliverables are delivered on time: specs, drawings, supplier qualification, QA plans, validation packs, documentation, training.
  • Identify and remove blockers, escalate early, and drive decision-making.

4) Stakeholder & Change Management (Make adoption real)

  • Align leadership on priorities and trade-offs; manage conflicts through structured decision pathways.
  • Drive adoption of new processes and tools; create SOPs/playbooks where needed.
  • Communicate progress via sharp weekly updates and executive-ready monthly dashboards.

5) Risk, Quality, and Compliance Assurance

  • Proactively manage risk in localization and execution: supplier readiness, quality audits, critical components, documentation.
  • Ensure alignment with relevant Pharma quality expectations (e.g., validation readiness, traceability, documentation discipline).
  • Maintain clear go/no-go criteria, stage gates, and escalation thresholds.

Deliverables

  • Pharma & Food Applications Portfolio Roadmap
  • Initiative Charters + Business Cases
  • SteerCo Pack & Dashboard (progress, decisions required, benefits, risks)

Your Profile / Qualifications

Required Experience & Qualifications

  • 8–12+ years in strategic program/project management in industrial equipment / engineering / pharma manufacturing / automation environments.
  • Proven track record of delivering cross-functional programs: localization, NPI, cost-out/value engineering, supply chain transformation, or operational excellence.
  • Strong understanding of end-to-end product lifecycle (requirements → engineering → sourcing → build → quality → delivery → service).

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
