Core Responsibilities

  • Strategic Portfolio Management: oversee a full suite of services—from gene synthesis to protein design to cell line development—to ensure alignment with corporate revenue and growth objectives.
  • Operational Leadership: establish and refine Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and project management frameworks to improve efficiency and maintain customer service standards.
  • People Management & Mentorship: Lead, mentor, and scale a team of Project Managers, fostering a culture of accountability, continuous improvement, and scientific excellence.   
  • High-Level Risk Mitigation: identify systemic bottlenecks across projects (e.g., resource shortages, deviations from expected results) and implement enterprise-level solutions.
  • Financial Accountability: support portfolio-wide budget/profitability analysis and financial forecasting across all service lines. 
  • Client communication: ensure transparent and timely communication providing regular updates, managing expectations, and facilitating communication between the sponsor and scientific teams.
  • Strategic Leadership: Develop and execute the long-term vision for the Project Management department, aligning operational workflows with ATUM’s overarching commercial business goals.

Qualifications

  • Education: An advanced degree (PhD or MS) in Molecular Biology, Biochemistry, or Biotechnology to provide technical oversight of complex scientific activities.
  • Experience: 10+ years of progressive experience in a CRO or pharmaceutical setting, with a minimum of 7 years in a dedicated project management leadership role.
  • Certifications: Professional certifications such as PMP (Project Management Professional) or PgMP (Program Management Professional) are highly recommended.
  • Skills: Expert-level proficiency in managing cross-functional matrix teams, strategic planning, and navigating complex client-contract relationships. 
  • Soft Skills: Strong leadership, communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills.
  • Tools: Familiarity with project management software and data management systems. 

Why ATUM?

  • Innovative Environment: Be at the forefront of the next-gen biotech revolution in Quantitative Biology.
  • Culture of Excellence: Enjoy a collaborative atmosphere with excellent growth opportunities.
  • Perks & Benefits: Free daily catered lunch, comprehensive health benefits, PTO, and a 401(k) with a Safe Harbor plan.
