Pay Range:  $65 - $73/hr
Start Date:  ASAP
Location:  Remote (Strong preference for Bay Area candidates; ability to come in 1 day/week is a plus.)

About the Opportunity:

Our client, a leader in Biopharma, is looking for a skilled IT Project Coordinator / Junior PM  to join their team for a 6+ Months engagement. This project involves acting as a critical "bridge" between the R&D IT group and the Regulatory Information group, supporting business owners and ensuring predictable, consistent project delivery. This is a high-impact role that requires a self-motivated professional who can hit the ground running and deliver results quickly.

Key Responsibilities & Deliverables:

This role is focused on the successful completion of specific tasks and deliverables. Your responsibilities will include:
  • Project Administration: Leading "PM Light" activities including scheduling meetings, capturing detailed meeting minutes, and maintaining project schedules and milestones.
  • Execution & Follow-up: Serving as a "proactive chaser" to track action items, follow up on tasks with stakeholders, and ensure project momentum is maintained without constant oversight.
  • Status Reporting: Providing basic status reporting and clear communication updates to IT leadership and business partners.
  • System Support: Assisting with projects revolving around Veeva Vault (RIM, Safety Vaults) and various R&D IT managed services, including CRO data management and AI-driven tool implementations.
  • Process Development: Assisting in the rollout of light project management tools and standardized processes currently being developed for the organization.
Required Skills & Experience:

We are looking for someone with a proven track record of successful contract engagements. The ideal candidate will have:
  • 3-5 years of professional experience in project coordination or junior project management.
  • Previous experience in Biotech or Pharma is highly advantageous.
  • Familiarity with Veeva Vault or similar life sciences platforms is a significant plus.
  • Exceptional attitude and High Emotional Intelligence (EQ). You must be able to match the pace of high-performing business owners and provide a high level of service and responsiveness.
  • A flexible approach to methodology—using the right tools for the job rather than adhering to a rigid framework.
  • A Bachelor’s Degree from an accredited institution.
