The ideal candidate will have a technical foundation from a regulated pharma, biotech, engineering, or systems-oriented setting and be comfortable operating within quality-driven environments, including data integrity expectations and ALCOA-related practices.

Interpret technical inputs such as requirements documents and recognize where supporting specifications or design documentation may be needed

Drive cross-functional execution, streamline communication, and gather needed information with limited oversight

Communicate effectively with both technical teams and business stakeholders through strong written and verbal updates

Requirements:

5+ years of project management experience in pharma, biotech, or another highly regulated environment

Strong Jira experience required; template-building or admin-level experience preferred

Good understanding of regulated delivery, data integrity, and ALCOA principles

Technical background in engineering, computer systems, or a similar discipline preferred
