This Project Manager (PM) will independently execute low to medium-level projects for the Corporate Affairs (CA) function and the four subfunctions underneath it:

• Government Affairs
• Patient Advocacy and Stakeholder Management
• Corporate Communications
• Corporate Social Responsibility

This resource will be assisting with multiple concurrent projects across these four subfunctions, as well as broader projects at the CA level. As such, they need to have the ability to deal with change and a fast-paced work environment.

Because multiple project leads will want priority, we are in search of someone that works with a high sense of urgency, is very proactive and has a very strong customer service approach. The projects will have high visibility and the person will be interacting with stakeholders at all levels. There will be a client lead in charge of every project, leaving the PM to be responsible for the below tasks:

• Partner with key stakeholders to manage projects and ensure tasks are delivered on time and with quality without significant oversight/direction
• Keep the team organized and on track, leveraging project management tools and methodologies (action item trackers, MS Teams sites, project status decks/reports, Gantt charts/timelines, team calendars, etc.)
• Proactively identify and mitigate issues and risks that may impact the agreed upon schedule and drive their resolution
• General project management duties (leading a meeting, scheduling/rescheduling, creating agendas, taking meeting notes, sending out action items/follow-up, cross-functional team management, etc.)

In addition to projects, the PM is responsible for assisting the hiring manager with project coordinator tasks (meeting setup/logistics, MS Teams site management, stakeholder follow-up, tracking open action items, meeting notes/agenda creation, research, deck creation, etc.).
