Project Manager

• Contract: 12 months
• Start: ASAP / immediate
• Working model: Hybrid (2 days onsite)

We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to support a senior team with our Life Science client, helping to bring structure, pace, and clarity to multiple initiatives over the next 12 months.

This is a delivery-first, hands-on role (PMO support / execution PM), not a programme lead position. You'll work closely with a very senior stakeholder group in a commercially oriented environment, translating discussion into decisions, actions, owners, and timelines, and keeping delivery moving.

What you'll be doing

• Support execution of 2-3 key initiatives over the year
• Build and maintain project plans, timelines, milestones and dependencies
• Run day-to-day PMO disciplines: RAID logs, actions, decision logs, governance checkpoints
• Drive meeting cadence: agendas, facilitation, outputs, follow-through and closure
• Produce clear, concise status reporting and readouts for senior stakeholders
• Act as a central point of organisation across matrixed teams (e.g., commercial, operations, transformation)
• Remove friction and ambiguity to keep workstreams progressing
• Help drive innovation through new technologies by ensuring structured delivery and adoption

What we're looking for (must-have)

• +7 years experience in Project Management
• Prior experience in the life sciences industry (Pharma, MedTech, BioTech)
• Recognised PM qualification: PMP, PRINCE2 (or equivalent)
• Proven experience working with Director / SLT-level stakeholders
• Strong organisation, coordination, and follow-through
• Confident operating with urgency and ambiguity
• Experience in matrixed, global organisations, ideally on GTM initiatives or product launches

Ideal (nice-to-have)

• Strong workshop/brainstorm facilitation - able to turn discussion into concrete next steps and decisions
• Experience building operating cadence/governance in teams that are light on structure
• Exposure to technology adoption/change in regulated environments

Why this role

If you're the kind of PM who can walk into a senior room, ask the right structured questions, and turn momentum into measurable execution, you'll have huge impact here.
