Location: Boston, MA

Duration: 12 Months + Extension

Job Type: W-2, 1099, C2C

Client: To Be Discussed Later

Job Description:

The Project Manager will ensure that work is well-planned, dependencies are visible, risks are surfaced early, and stakeholders at all levels — from lab scientists to CISO-level sponsors — have the right information at the right time. This is a hands-on, execution-focused role that requires strong organizational discipline, clear communication, and the ability to hold a complex program together across a distributed team without the authority of direct management.

Required Experience

3–6 years of relevant project or program management experience, preferably within technology, IT security, or a regulated life sciences environment.
Demonstrated experience managing concurrent workstreams with multiple owners, dependencies, and stakeholders in a complex organizational environment.
Experience working with or coordinating agile delivery teams, including facilitation of sprint ceremonies.
Proven track record of producing clear, structured program reporting for senior and executive audiences.
Experience managing vendor relationships and external dependencies as part of a delivery program.
Prior experience in a pharmaceutical, biotech, or similarly regulated industry is strongly preferred.

Required Knowledge / Skills

Program & Project Management

Strong command of program planning tools and techniques — Gantt charts, risk logs, RAID registers, dependency mapping, and milestone tracking.
Proficiency in project management tooling such as Jira, Microsoft Project, Smartsheet, or equivalent.
Familiarity with both agile (Scrum/Kanban) and traditional waterfall delivery approaches, and the ability to blend them as the program requires.
PMP, CAPM, PRINCE2, or SAFe certification is a plus.

Communication & Stakeholder Management:

Excellent written and verbal communication skills — able to produce crisp, accurate status reports and present program health clearly to senior leadership.
Strong meeting facilitation skills, including the ability to run structured stand-ups, planning sessions, and risk reviews with distributed teams across time zones.
Able to build credibility quickly with both technical engineers and non-technical business stakeholders.
