Build and refine playbooks, templates, and decision‑making frameworks for diligence and integration. Enhance Smartsheet‑based dashboards, workflows, and reporting tools for portfolio governance. Identify and implement AI and automation tools to streamline workflows and accelerate decision‑making. Drive cross‑functional planning, risk management, and clear action tracking. Support early‑stage execution for newly acquired assets, coordinating integrated development plans until long‑term teams are established. About You

Thrives in high‑growth, high‑ambiguity environments and drives alignment and momentum. Curious about and eager to leverage AI and automation to improve PM efficiency and derive insights.

Advanced degree preferred and certifications in Smartsheet, PMP, CAPM, CSM, or Lean Six Sigma are an asset. Proven ability to integrate cross‑functional inputs into actionable, business‑driven plans. Strong stakeholder management and influencing skills in a matrixed organization. Proficiency with Smartsheet (certified or willing to obtain) and advanced Excel/Google Sheets modelling. Experience in Inflammation & Immunology, CNS, Cardiovascular/Metabolic, or Dermatology is preferred. Familiarity with term sheets, diligence workplans, asset integration, and regulatory/quality transitions is a plus. Compensation
Total compensation range: $168,000 – $210,000. Compensation will be determined based on role scope, geographic location, and candidate experience. The package includes base salary, equity, comprehensive benefits, and generous perks. Location
