The Team
Alloy's Antibody Discovery Services (ADS) team is looking for an on-site Project Manager in Waltham, Massachusetts. Our antibody discovery services platform employs cutting-edge technologies in molecular biology, protein sciences, B-cell cloning, phage display, novel antibody formats and analytics to identify and optimize antibody-based therapeutics. The ADS team works collaboratively with all Alloy site teams (Waltham, Athens, Basel, UK, and San Francisco) to deliver high quality therapeutic molecules to our ecosystem of external partners and 82VS companies. You will be a key member of the team continuously working to improve novel project management strategies across these workflows for the goal of making medicine together with our collaborators.
The Role
As a Project Manager, you will work directly with our antibody discovery services team, managing discovery programs for antibody-based therapeutics, including monoclonal and bispecific antibodies and TCR mimetics. Your role will involve developing and implementing project plans that define the project goals, timelines, and deliverables, and ensuring the successful completion of projects. You will also be responsible for coordinating activities and handoffs across functional teams, providing leadership and direction to ensure that project milestones are achieved. In addition to this, you will proactively identify potential risks and issues that could impact project timelines, deliverables, or budgets, and develop contingency plans to mitigate these risks proactively. Your role will also require you to plan and track resources needed across the organization to effectively execute on portfolio projects and help resolve any bottlenecks.
As part of this role, you will need to have strong communication skills to interact with a diverse group of stakeholders, both within and outside the company. This will involve managing communication with external partners and 82VS companies to provide regular project updates, reports, and presentations, and also providing portfolio updates to our leadership team. Effective communication with these stakeholders is crucial to ensure that all parties are aligned with project goals and timelines, and that any potential issues or concerns are addressed in a timely manner.
This role will report directly to the Senior Vice President of Antibody Discovery Services in Waltham, MA, with autonomy owning various stakeholders, projects, and tasks in a dynamic start-up environment while keeping up the pace of Alloy. This is you!
