  • Drive cross-functional collaboration across regions and functions to deliver differentiated customer experiences and strategic outcomes.
  • Monitor progress across multiple parallel initiatives, highlighting risks or issues and driving timely resolution.
  • Support governance and reporting by preparing materials, consolidating updates, and ensuring alignment with account governance structures.

Who You Are

  • A collaborative, highly organized professional with 5+ years of experience in program, project, or portfolio management, ideally within the biotechnology, life sciences, or biopharmaceutical industry.
  • Experienced in customer governance (QBRs, ERMs, S&OP) and driving execution that strengthens global strategic account partnerships.
  • Proficient in program management methodologies (e.g., MSP, Agile, Six Sigma) and tools; adept at managing multiple priorities with strong attention to detail.
  • Bachelor’s degree in Life Sciences, Business, or a related field.

Travel Requirements
