Summary

We are seeking a Senior Director, Project Management & Operational Excellence to lead the Project Management function and strengthen execution across development programs and other key strategic initiatives. You will establish a fit-for-purpose Project Management Office, integrate priorities, plans, risks, decisions and resources, and provide clear enterprise visibility that supports timely decision-making and reliable delivery.

Reporting to the SVP, Clinical Development Operations, you will lead four experienced project managers. Each project manager will support a development program or other key strategic projects, working closely with functional leaders and cross-functional teams. To be successful in this role you must be a strategic leader who is comfortable with hands-on program management, operational excellence, change leadership and pragmatic execution.

- Allocate project-management resources based on portfolio priorities, project complexity, critical milestones and organisational needs.

- Establish clear objectives, responsibilities and performance expectations for the team.

- Build a strong project-management community across company with consistent standards, tools and ways of working.

- Establish and continuously improve fit-for-purpose governance, planning, reporting, risk-management and decision-support practices.

- Ensure project managers develop and maintain integrated plans linking functional deliverables, milestones, dependencies, assumptions, resources and decision points.

- Provide oversight and guidance across programs and strategic projects while maintaining clear accountability for delivery within each cross-functional team.

- Monitor critical-path and near-critical activities, cross-functional dependencies, capacity constraints and emerging risks.

- Ensure material changes in assumptions, scope, timelines or resources are assessed promptly for downstream impact.

- Provide portfolio-level visibility into priorities, commitments, trade-offs, risks and resource requirements.

- Drive alignment across functions on deliverables, timelines, responsibilities and escalation needs.

- Ensure risks and issues are identified, assessed, owned, mitigated and escalated appropriately.

- Lead operational coordination and readiness planning for major development and regulatory milestones.

- Design and facilitate effective programme, project and governance forums with clear decision rights, accountabilities and outputs.

- Prepare concise executive updates, scenarios and recommendations to support timely, informed decisions.

- Maintain traceability of key decisions and actions and ensure timely follow-through.

- Develop forward-looking dashboards and performance indicators that provide actionable insights.

- Lead targeted operational-excellence and process-improvement initiatives across development and other functions.

- Drive adoption of new processes, systems, governance models and ways of working while avoiding unnecessary bureaucracy.

- Promote learning across programs and strategic projects by systematically capturing and applying lessons learned.

- Contribute as a senior member of the Development leadership team and foster accountability, collaboration, constructive challenge and execution excellence.

Qualifications & Experience

- Typically 12+ years of pharmaceutical or biotechnology experience, including substantial leadership in development program management, portfolio management, PMO or development operations.

  • 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.
