The Opportunity

We currently have an opportunity for an IT Project Manager (1 year contract) to be based in Singapore, to join our Technology Team. Reporting to the Technology Program Director, the IT Project Manager works closely with the business and other stakeholders to lead, oversee and ensure the successful delivery and management of multiple projects to support the continued growth of iNova. The Project Manager must do this within scope, to a high quality to meet Business needs, and within time and cost constraints. These factors may be clearly defined or may require dynamic change management to deliver business value.

In addition, within the pharmaceuticals industry, systems which are associated with the supply of product must be maintained against a set of guidelines known as GAMP. The process of ensuring our systems meet the requirements of these guidelines is called computer system validation (CSV). The Project Manager will manage projects and enhancements to assist with the ongoing compliance of this set of processes. No experience in this area is necessary beyond a base understanding of SDLC and good project management.
