We are looking for a Project Manager to drive the coordination and execution of technology transfers to our CDMO partners. This role is about keeping the entire effort moving — aligning Development, MSAT, Quality, and Regulatory with our CDMO partners — and making sure timelines, deliverables, and risks are visible and managed. You’ll be the central organizer who ensures that the processes we develop in our labs get into the clinic on time.

- Stakeholder communication: Serve as the main point of contact between internal teams, stakeholders and CDMO transfer teams. Maintain transparent updates, risk registers, and escalation pathways for leadership.
- Transfer Readiness: Partner with technical leads to coordinate transfer packages, protocols, and training materials. Ensure teams are prepared for engineering and GMP runs through a right-sized stage-gate process.
- Issue and risk management: Track risks and decisions across the transfer. Coordinate resolution of issues with technical leads within project timelines.
- Financial Oversight: Monitor project budgets and resource allocations in collaboration with finance and functional leads.
- Continuous improvement: Identify opportunities to improve how we plan, execute, and communicate around tech transfers. Drive process improvements that enhance speed and reliability.
- Be Awesome: Exhibit a positive attitude and a proactive approach to problem-solving, embracing challenges with enthusiasm and a solutions-oriented mindset.
