Global Operations Project Manager (Contractor)
New Today
Operations Project Manager
Contract position
Role Summary
We’re bringing together several legacy organisations, and with that comes complexity, contradiction, and the rare chance to build something better. We’re not just streamlining; we’re reimagining. And we’re looking for an Operations Project Manager who’s up for the challenge.
This role sits at the intersection of process, people, and potential. You’ll lead internal projects that span all service lines including Patient Services, Launch Excellence, Market Access, Insights & Analytics, Medical Affairs, Marketing Excellence, and Contract Commercial Services translating strategic intent into practical, scalable action. You’ll work across global teams, legacy systems, and evolving structures to help us move forward with intention and pace.
You’ll need to be analytical, creative, and comfortable with ambiguity. But more than that, you’ll need to bring Rebel Thinking: a mindset that embraces change, draws from diverse perspectives, and challenges the status quo to achieve better outcomes.
We’re not here to maintain the status quo—we’re focused on building combined technical capabilities while delivering the practical. This role is for someone who wants to make change stick.
