Richmond Pharmacology is one of Europe's leading Contract Research Organizations, conducting phase 1, phase 2 and phase 3 trials across a variety of disease areas, with particular interests in innovative gene therapies. While we continue to conduct trials into healthy volunteers, we are increasingly engaging in trials focused on patient populations, resulting in an increased workload across the board and leading to our expansion of the Commercial Project Management team.

We are looking for an experienced Project Manager, preferably with a background in the biotech, pharmaceutical or clinical research industry. This is a client facing role so impeccable communication skills are essential. You will need to be comfortable generating proposals and negotiating directly with key clients. While broad project management skills are required, the role will focus largely on resource planning and forecasting and a strong appreciation of project finance and budgeting is essential.

Key requirements:

• Excellent customer facing skills - customer service, negotiation, account management
• Matrix management skills - accustomed to setting milestones and ensuring that these are met by all parties involved
• Monitor project expenditure, cash flow projections, budget variance, etc
• Communicate at planned, regular intervals with project sponsors and stakeholders and additionally as required to ensure delivery of project to time and budget
• Ensure all project milestones are met and report any slippage to senior management and sponsors as appropriate
• Engage in bid preparation and project pre-planning
• Ensure availability of resources internally, and source appropriate external resources where required

This role will suit an experienced project manager familiar with the life sciences, although this is not essential. Prior experience in clinical trials will be of particular value, however.

If you believe you have the skills and experience required to succeed in a role of this nature, submit a current copy of your CV via the BambooHR system. You will be asked to supply basic contact details also.
