------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Brief Description The Senior Project Manager will support the clients Pharmaceuticals Digital Enterprise Capabilities R&D function by managing three concurrent, high-visibility GxP safety-system initiatives: Oracle Argus upgrade, RxLogix PV Intake upgrade, and Safety Database Japan implementation. All three initiatives are equal priority and require disciplined project planning, vendor coordination, stakeholder engagement, roadmap integration, governance reporting, risk management, and launch readiness across business, technology, QA, validation, security, compliance, and vendor stakeholders. The ideal candidate is a senior project manager with strong GxP safety-systems experience, conceptual knowledge of regulated systems delivery, and the ability to operate effectively in a hybrid Agile-Waterfall environment. The position is best suited for a pure Senior Project Manager with enough program-management discipline to own an integrated roadmap across multiple related safety-system initiatives.

• Coordinate with business stakeholders, Drug Safety / Pharmacovigilance SMEs, clinical stakeholders, QA, Validation, Compliance, Security, IT, and vendor teams.
• Coordinate vendor project activity, deliverables, meeting cadence, timeline inputs, risks, dependencies, and issue resolution.
• Partner with QA and Validation owners to track validation-related dependencies, documentation needs, testing windows, approval milestones, and release-readiness requirements.
• Support hybrid Agile-Waterfall delivery, using Agile practices where relevant for software delivery and Waterfall / phase-gate discipline where required for GxP validation and governance.
• Prepare project materials for governance forums, steering committees, leadership updates, stakeholder decision meetings, and escalation reviews.
• Maintain project information and reporting in approved tools such as Clarity, Smartsheet, MS Project, Jira, ServiceNow, SharePoint, Teams, and applicable validation or document-control platforms.
• Partner with change-management resources and business stakeholders to support launch readiness, stakeholder communications, adoption planning, training coordination, integration launch, and post-launch stabilization.
• Escalate project, vendor, compliance, validation, security, timeline, and dependency risks promptly through the appropriate governance channels.
