Overview Project Manager – Global Product Development & Launch

Location

Hybrid – Sofia, Lisbon or Barcelona

Contract

Full-time - Permanent

This is a fast-growing, international pharmaceutical business operating across more than 130 global markets with a broad network of commercial and manufacturing partners. Despite its scale, the organisation runs as a lean, agile operation where decisions are made quickly and individuals have genuine influence. The focus is on complex generics, specialty medicines, injectables, and biosimilars, built around smart product licensing models and best-in-class manufacturing partnerships.

The business launches products continuously, expands into new markets year on year, and invests heavily in product lifecycle management.

The Opportunity

This role sits at the heart of the company’s product engine.

As a Senior Pharmaceutical Project Manager, you will take full ownership of pharmaceutical products from development through registration, launch, and into commercial life. You will coordinate cross-functional internal teams and general external partners to ensure products move forward at pace, on budget, and with clear, timely decision-making.

This is a hands-on, high-ownership role suited to someone who thrives in fast-moving environments and wants real responsibility rather than a narrow coordination function.

Key Responsibilities

Own and drive pharmaceutical product projects end-to-end

Build and manage project plans, timelines, and key milestones

Coordinate Regulatory,



Supply Chain, Technical Services, Quality, Finance, and Commercial teams

Manage external partners including CMOs and CDMOs

Proactively identify risks, dependencies, and bottlenecks

Drive decision-making and remove barriers to progress

Manage project budgets, forecasts, and financial milestones

Support global regulatory submissions and product launches

Prepare materials for governance and senior stakeholder meetings

Travel internationally to manufacturing and partner sites as required

Experience & Background

MSc in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Chemical Engineering, or similar discipline

MBA is an advantage but not essential

10+ years’ experience managing pharmaceutical products or projects

Proven experience taking products through regulated development to launch

Strong understanding of complex generics, injectables, or biosimilars

Solid knowledge of global regulatory pathways (EMA, FDA, PMDA, LATAM)

Comfortable operating across functions, geographies, and cultures

Commercially minded, decisive, and delivery-focused

Thrives in fast-paced, high-accountability environments

Why This Role Stands Out

Genuine ownership of products, not just coordination

Global exposure across a wide range of markets

Fast decision-making with minimal bureaucracy A stable but growing pipeline with continuous launches

Backing of a global organisation with the agility of a scale-up A clear step up for experienced pharmaceutical project managers
