  • Track performance, drive on-time, high-quality execution, and lead risk identification, mitigation, and escalation.
  • Lead program governance with the PDC Lead, including preparing PDC and sub-team forums, structuring decision frameworks, and maintaining decision and action logs.
  • Operate as a central connector across a global matrix and influence senior stakeholders across R&D and Commercial without direct authority.
  • Foster a high-performing, accountable, and collaborative team environment with clear roles, decision rights, and ways of working.
  • Embed patient-centric thinking by integrating insights from advocacy groups, key opinion leaders, and clinical experts with focus on Alzheimer’s Disease.
Experience Requirements:

  • Strong relationship building and communication skills with the ability to navigate all organizational levels.
  • Experience establishing and managing external collaborations, including contractual, financial, and compliance considerations.
  • Strong project leadership and project management skills.
  • Preferred experience within Product Development & Commercialization, Global Medicines Development, or cross-functional R&D/commercial teams; neuroscience and launch preparation experience are a plus.
