Our ideal candidate is someone with demonstrated experience in managing large-scale informatics projects with cross-functional teams; who is adept at juggling multiple competing priorities; who enjoys finding creative solutions to unexpected challenges; and who is equally at ease with a Gantt chart and a Kanban board.

- Performing risk assessments and developing mitigation strategies
- Managing changes to projects in an iterative, adaptive way as required
- Developing and improving project management processes and guidelines
- Facilitating internal project meetings, or meetings with partners
- Working with the IT, Business Development, Finance, Operations, Legal and other teams as appropriate
- Closing out completed projects
We’d love to hear from you if:
- You have a MSc or PhD in a STEM-related field, preferred background in bioinformatics, computational biology, engineering or data science
- You have at minimum 3 years’ experience managing software development projects in the biotech industry or in an academic research environment, or an equivalent combination of education and experience
- You are friendly and personable with excellent communication skills, both written and verbal
- You have excellent organizational skills with impeccable attention to detail
- You are adaptable and have the analytical skills to respond to rapidly changing priorities
- You love to solve problems both big and small, and have a can-do attitude
- You have demonstrated leadership skills
Offers & benefits:
- The opportunity to work with an inspired team on challenging problems that matter
- An attractive compensation package, including health and lifestyle benefits
- A minimum of 3 weeks’ vacation
- A place in our beautiful office in Vancouver, BC, Canada (just off Cambie Street, with plenty of good lunch options nearby)
