Associate Director, Clinical Development Project Manager - Oncology

Clinical Matrix Teams (CMTs) are asset-focused teams of functional leaders that design and deliver early- to late-stage Clinical Development Plans (CDPs). As the number and complexity of CMTs has grown, these teams need dedicated project management capacity to stay organized, disciplined, and focused on the critical path.

The Associate Director Clinical Development Project Manager provides the project management and communication-planning backbone that keeps one or more CMTs running efficiently, freeing functional leads to focus on clinical strategy rather than administrative coordination.

The role owns the full lifecycle of CMT project management assets — from charter, scope, and kickoff through governance, risk, resourcing, and reporting, to implementation, training, and closeout — and partners with CMT functional leads and the broader PPM organization to standardize how CMTs plan, govern, track progress, and report status.

The Associate Director Clinical Development Project Manager demonstrates a strong grounding in established project management methods and brings a track record of applying them within a complex, matrixed life sciences organization. With guidance from the CMT Lead and/or PPM Director, the role manages CMT project infrastructure with limited day-to-day oversight, escalating risks and issues to leadership as required.
