• Build strong team motivation, alignment, and morale by creating a common purpose.
• Create, implement, and drive project plans and timelines to achieve business goals, manage critical path items, and remove roadblocks.
• Ensure that product requirements are clearly defined and grounded in data, customer insights, and market analysis.
• Oversee adherence to a structured design and development process, ensuring compliance with quality management systems and regulatory requirements.
• Bring a continuous-improvement mindset and best practices to contribute to the strategic objectives of the PMO and the Life Science Group.

What you bring:

• Proven track record of leading projects to market while meeting schedule, resource, budget, and scope goals.
• Exceptional leadership skills, with the ability to align team members, leaders, and stakeholders around shared objectives, with or without direct authority.
• Ability to create momentum in the face of uncertainty, with a bias for action and a collaborative approach to problem-solving.
• Ability to adjust your level of involvement to remove obstacles, diving into details when needed and stepping back to see the big picture when required.
• Excellent critical thinking, analytical, and communication skills, including executive-level communication.
• Bilingual-level English and fluent French, to communicate effectively with cross-functional teams and senior stakeholders.
• Willingness to travel domestically and internationally (5-10% of the time).
