Manage expectations through clear communication on progress, risks, and financial status.

Financial & Resource Management
Accountability for project financial performance: Monitor project financial health, track budgets, and control gross margin to ensure targets are met.
Change order management: Prepare and drive budget reconciliations and contract change orders when project scope or assumptions change, in collaboration with the contracts team and portfolio lead.
Resource planning and allocation: In partnership with functional managers, allocate data managers, statisticians & programmers in line with project needs and team capacity. Use resource management tools (e.g. Runn, Pulse) to forecast workloads and manage assignments.
Cross-project scheduling: Maintain an overview of all key milestones across the portfolio (e.g. database locks, analyses, deliveries) and ensure adequate resourcing ahead of critical peaks.
Financial reporting: Provide regular updates on project financial status (budget burn, forecast to complete, etc.) to senior management. Ensure revenue recognition and invoicing are supported by timely project progress information.

Risk & Quality Management
Ensure project risks are documented and managed throughout the project lifecycle in collaboration with the functional leads.
Ensure projects are conducted in compliance with GCP, applicable regulations, and the applicable SOPs (Veramed’s or clients as set out in the contract).
Ensure any quality issues are escalated according to Veramed SOPs.
Act as the point of contact to escalate and resolve project-related issues or decisions. Proactively negotiate timeline adjustments or resource changes with clients when needed.

Process Improvement and Strategic Contribution
