Description

OGT is a leading global provider of clinical and diagnostic genomic solutions. We believe in creating products and partnerships that enable clinicians to deliver personalised healthcare to patients and that empower clinical researchers to develop the next generation of precision medicines.

An opportunity has arisen for an Associate Project Manager within our Oxford based Programme Management Office (PMO) team. The Programme Management Office team is responsible for managing the OGT portfolio of products and projects. The objective of the PMO is to coordinate projects across the organization for new product development, product improvements and to drive business efficiencies.

This is an exciting opportunity to support the delivery of complex, cross‑functional projects that bring high‑quality diagnostic products, many of them IVDs, to market. Working closely with experienced project managers and internal stakeholders across the business, you will help ensure projects are delivered efficiently, compliantly and to the highest standards.

What you'll be doing for us

Work closely with other project managers within the department to deliver complex projects:

Monitoring and reporting: Tracking project progress, milestones, and deliverables, while providing regular updates to stakeholders
Resource coordination: Coordinating team members, resources, and, where necessary, external vendors to deliver agreed project goals and tasks
Documentation: Creating and updating project documentation, including risk logs and meeting minutes
Communication: Acting as a liaison between team members, clients, and project managers to ensure smooth communication
Risk mitigation: Proactively identifying and helping to solve potential problems in the production process.

Work closely with other departmental teams (e.g. R&D, Marketing, Quality/Regulatory, Medical Affairs and Production) to deliver certain projects to agreed scope, cost, quality and timeline:

Project planning and support: Defining project scope, goals, and creating detailed project plans or schedules
Project coordination and communication: Organise and lead regular project team meetings ensuring timely completion of tasks. Analyse, plan and track project activities, communicating progress against plan on a regular basis to all relevant stakeholders, including maintaining decision logs, meeting minutes, timelines and shared documentation

Resource and risk management: In conjunction with relevant stakeholders identify resources required and manage these for all projects. With Head of PMO, manage resourcing, dependencies and interfaces between projects

Budget management: Track estimated project costs and proactively communicating deviations to relevant stakeholders.

Ensure programme governance process is adhered to with formal documentation and reporting

In conjunction with key stakeholders ensure project files are maintained to support the quality management system, particularly for the Quality System Regulation requirements of 21 CFR 820 and ISO 13485

Apply project management tools and methodologies to ensure cross-functional alignment and accountability

Develop positive relationships with internal teams and stakeholders

Work with internal teams to ensure smooth transition to business as usual as the projects conclude and conduct lessons learned evaluations and guidance at the point of handover.
