• Minimum 5–8 years of experience in project management, ideally in pharma, scientific content, or highly regulated environments with proven track record managing complex end-to-end projects across multiple stakeholders
• Direct hands-on experience with localization processes including translation, adaptation, quality assurance, and workflow management

• Experience collaborating with global teams across time zones and cultural contexts
• Advanced English proficiency (essential) and Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Project Management, Communications, Marketing, Systems Engineering, Health Sciences, or related disciplines

What distinguishes you as a Senior Manager:

• Crystal-clear communication to explain complex topics to diverse audiences combined with exceptionally high attention to detail for reviewing critical regulated content
• Strong stakeholder management with ability to align priorities and lead through influence without formal authority
• Excellent organization and prioritization to manage multiple simultaneous projects with structured problem-solving and risk anticipation
• Critical thinking applied to regulated environments with ability to translate strategic objectives into operational plans and balance scientific rigor with commercial acumen
• High adaptability to constant change, tolerance for ambiguity, diplomatic skills, and complete autonomy with accountability for outcomes

Nice to have:

• Project management certification (PMP, PRINCE2, Agile) or direct experience with regulatory materials, medical content, or Market Access documentation
• Proficiency with project management tools (Asana, Jira, Trello, Veeva)
• Experience facilitating workshops, training sessions, or implementing localization processes from scratch
• Formal team leadership experience or advanced negotiation experience with suppliers or global business units
