This person will support work involving requirements, data flows, interfaces, change controls, SDLC, integration testing, qualification, and delivery readiness. The Project Managers will own defined workstreams, project schedules, actions, risks, dependencies, and cross-functional coordination with other teams. The program uses hybrid Agile / Waterfall methodology, combining iterative execution with structured schedules, phase gates, validation activities, and release milestones.

• Coordinate across business, technical, data, quality, validation, enterprise-platform, and lab-equipment teams
• Support the definition and stabilization of business requirements, system requirements, interfaces, and data contracts
• Facilitate working sessions, document decisions, assign actions, and drive follow-up through closure
• Support testing, qualification, systems integration, and delivery-readiness activities
• Prepare clear project status updates and proactively escalate risks, issues, and constraints
• Maintain project documentation and traceability using Jira, Confluence, Microsoft Project, or comparable tools

Required Experience:

• Hands on project management experience in a GMP regulated environment
• MUST have experience with Jira/Confluence
• Experience working in hybrid Agile / Waterfall delivery environments
• Strong ability to manage schedules, dependencies, actions, risks, issues, and competing priorities
• Familiarity with GMP delivery, validation / qualification, and controlled-change practices
• Strong facilitation and stakeholder-management experience.
• Ability to work independently while escalating appropriately to senior program leadership

Preferred: PMP, CAPM, Scrum, or comparable project-delivery certification
