Обязанности

is scaling its mass photometry platform from a research instrument into a bioprocessing-grade analytical capability. That ambition runs through a growing portfolio of development programmes across instrument, consumables and software, each with its own dependencies, readiness gates and stakeholders.
We are looking for a Project Manager to join the Project Management Office (PMO) and take ownership of programmes within that portfolio, working at the interface of R&D, Operations, Quality and Commercial. You will own delivery end-to-end, ensuring each programme reaches its gates with clear ownership, controlled cost and managed cross-workstream dependencies.
This is a delivery-focused role in a matrix organisation. You will not have direct authority over the functional specialists you coordinate. Your impact comes from structure, accountability and clear communication.
Primary responsibilities for this role include:   
Own end-to-end project plans for assigned development programmes, from concept through to launch, with defined stage gates and readiness criteria at each phase.
Translate strategy into executable workstreams, sequencing delivery against our priority domains and their technical dependencies.
Drive cross-functional accountability across R&D, Operations, Supply Chain, Quality and Regulatory, and Product Management.
Manage scope, schedule, budget and risk, maintaining a single source of truth for status, dependencies and critical path. Surface trade-offs early to leadership.
Coordinate design control activities where applicable, ensuring documentation, verification and validation are planned and on track for a regulated environment.
Support engagement with external partners and suppliers, including cadence, deliverables and escalation.
Run effective governance: steering reviews, gate decisions, status reporting and minutes, keeping functional leads and senior stakeholders aligned.
Identify and remove blockers, anticipating dependency conflicts across workstreams before they hit the critical path.
Contribute to the development of PMO standards, templates and ways of working, applying them consistently across the portfolio.
