PMO Manager jobs in the United States

Job Description: Project Manager

About The Company:

At MustardSeed PMO, we’re a leading project management service provider, designing and delivering solutions for clients across multiple sectors within the Life Sciences industry including Biotech, Pharma, Med-Device, Ag Tech, and Food Tech. We are focused on leading the pack in our industry, bringing together a heritage of creativity and technology, and applying the latest thinking in project management to deliver truly effective positive change.

MustardSeed is proudly based in West Chester, Pennsylvania, performing outsourcing services to companies operating in the United States. Our project management staff is solely based in the United States, spread out in various locations throughout the country. At MustardSeed, we aim to help companies improve their communication, control, execution, and ultimately profitability by establishing a project management framework that enables better decision-making.

About the Role:

As a Project Manager at MustardSeed, you will be contributing to end-to-end project delivery within specified timeframes, budgets, and quality standards. As an experienced project manager already, you will collaborate closely with stakeholders to ensure the best possible outcomes, steering multidisciplinary teams towards common goals.

The Project Manager is the chief “make sure it happens – and happens right” person on the project and has the overall responsibility for ensuring that the outputs from each project phase – the initiation, planning, execution and closing phases – are delivered according to the requirements established and approved for that phase, and that these outputs are consistent across all phases.

You will contribute to a wide variety of different projects while maintaining a focus on project management best practices and stakeholder satisfaction.

Previous projects our team has facilitated include but are not limited to creating a robust integrated master schedule (IMS) for an upcoming clinical trial, identifying, and eliminating bottlenecks in a new product introduction (NPI) process, completing a transformative overhaul of a client’s product lifecycle management (PLM) process, ensuring the successful delivery of a newly acquired software, overhauling a client’s supply chain management (SCM) practices. 

This position offers a unique opportunity for flexibility within the traditional rigid 40-hour workweek. Our clients have needs that vary from week to week; your life has variable needs from week to week. We believe those two concepts can coexist beautifully. This is a remote position – supporting customers virtually with rare travel to customer sites.

If you are highly skilled and enjoy challenging, important work while retaining the flexibility your life needs, we would like to talk to you!
