A leading biosciences organisation is seeking a Senior Project/Program Manager to drive a major global regulatory registration and product transition initiative, as well as other strategic integration projects. This is a one-year contract role based in Milpitas, California, with an onsite requirement; however, remote work may be considered for exceptional candidates able to operate on Pacific Time.
The Senior Project/Program Manager will be responsible for integrating activities across regulatory, quality, technical, labeling, operational, commercial, and IT functions. You will translate program objectives into actionable plans, manage dependencies and risks, and ensure timely decision-making and accountability. The role requires strong leadership in a matrix environment, facilitating cross-functional planning sessions, risk reviews, and decision discussions. You will maintain reliable program data, reporting, and dashboards, consolidating information from multiple work streams to identify trends and emerging risks.
To be successful, you must have at least ten years of progressive project or program management experience, preferably within a regulated life sciences environment. A bachelor's degree in business, science, engineering, operations, information systems, or a related discipline is required. PMP certification is essential. You should demonstrate expertise in integrated project planning, regulatory submissions, technical dossier management, quality and design controls, labeling transitions, and RAID (risks, actions, issues, decisions) management.
Advanced proficiency in Excel and strong skills in Power BI or comparable dashboard tools are expected, along with experience using PowerPoint, Teams, SharePoint, and project-planning platforms.
Preferred qualifications include direct experience with global medical device or in vitro diagnostic product registrations, M&A integration, and working with large, global teams across multiple regions and business units. Strong analytical, facilitation, and stakeholder management skills are critical, as is the ability to influence and drive accountability without direct authority.
