Project Manager - STARLIMS Corporation

Manage and coordinate R&D projects at the division or cross-division level, working under the direction of the Program Manager. Your goal is to deliver projects on time, within scope and within budget, despite limited resources and changing priorities.

• Manage risks and change. Log and manage risks, issues, dependencies and scope changes, then align with the Program Manager, management and sponsor on resolution. Escalate to the Program Manager when needed.
• Keep stakeholders informed. Provide timely, accurate status reports and decision-support information to the team, division, cross-division and executive management.
• Support portfolio planning. Give the Program Manager status, capacity and dependency information to help prioritize projects and allocate resources.
