Senior Project Manager - Pharma

Project overview

Context.

The service must enable the project to move from strategic scoping to controlled execution: make the Target Operating Model testable, secure the POC phase with a consulting firm, structure the Process, Data, and Platform streams, and then conduct an RFP to select the target technical solution on an objective and documented basis.

The service provider will coordinate with GMPA Digital, DDSI, Medical Affairs, Data & AI, Architecture, Security, Privacy, Compliance, Procurement, and external partners. They will be responsible for overall consistency, milestone adherence, budget control, and decision preparation.
