About the Role

The Company is seeking an Executive Director of Project Management to lead global study delivery and ensure studies meet agreed timelines, budgets, quality standards, and client expectations. The role owns delivery across the portfolio, partners closely with in-country teams, serves as a primary client contact, and intervenes decisively when performance is at risk. Responsibilities include establishing consistent project-management practices, governance, forecasts, baselines, and KPIs; maintaining accurate performance reporting; and aligning cross-functional teams to resolve bottlenecks. The leader will also strengthen delivery capability through coaching, mentoring, risk management, audit readiness, and continuous improvement. Candidates should have 10–15 years of relevant experience and a deep operational understanding of clinical trial delivery, along with a record of achieving strategic and operational outcomes. Required capabilities include designing and scaling delivery systems, strong regulatory and operational knowledge, familiarity with GCP and GDPR, and analytical and financial skills for developing reliable forecasts and KPIs. Experience with the specified project and operational platforms is required. A bachelor’s degree is required; a science-related degree is preferred, while an MBA or equivalent is advantageous.
