[Hiring] Senior Manager / Associate Director, CMC Project Management @Pulmovant

Role Description

The Senior Manager / Associate Director, CMC Project Management will provide program and project management support for Pulmovant’s drug development programs, with a particular focus on Chemistry, Manufacturing, and Controls (CMC) activities supporting mosliciguat development and the Phase 3 PHrontier trial. Reporting to the Senior Director, CMC Project Management, this individual will:

• Build and maintain integrated CMC timelines.
• Run the CMC team meeting cadence.
• Track deliverables, risks, and budgets.
• Drive alignment across CMC, Clinical, Regulatory, Quality, and external CDMO/CMO partners.

This is a project management role rather than a technical lead role. The core of the job is organization, facilitation, tracking, and follow-through — keeping a complex, multi-vendor program visible, honest, and on schedule.

Accordingly, we will consider a broad range of backgrounds: experienced CMC project managers, scientific or manufacturing professionals who have been managing projects as part of their current role, and strong project managers from adjacent technical or regulated industries who have the aptitude and motivation to come up the CMC learning curve quickly.

Key Duties and Responsibilities

• Build, maintain, and communicate integrated CMC timelines, ensuring alignment with overall clinical development and regulatory milestones.
• Own the CMC team meeting cadence — agendas, minutes, decisions, and tracking of action items through to closure.
• Maintain the program’s single source of truth for deliverables, owners, and due dates, and keep it current without being asked.
• Track risks, issues, assumptions, and dependencies across CMC and cross-functional workstreams; escalate early and drive resolution or mitigation.
• Partner with CMC technical leads across drug substance, drug product, and analytical development to translate technical strategy into executable, risk-mitigated project plans.
• Coordinate CDMO/CMO deliverables in partnership with technical and quality leads.
• Maintain budget and spend trackers for CMC activities; support purchase order, invoice, and accrual reconciliation with Finance.
• Support CMC regulatory submission timelines, tracking authoring, review, and approval milestones in partnership with Regulatory Affairs.
• Develop and maintain program management tools — timelines, dashboards, and status reports.
• Facilitate effective communication and collaboration across CMC, Clinical Operations, Regulatory, Quality, Supply Chain, and external partners.
• Prepare materials for governance and leadership reviews, including program updates and key decision points.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of project management processes, templates, and tools as Pulmovant scales.
• Be flexible to provide broader program and project management support across Pulmovant’s pipeline.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in a scientific, engineering, or other technical discipline, or equivalent practical experience; advanced degree a plus.
• PMP, PgMP or equivalent certification a plus but not required.
• Senior Manager: 5+ years of relevant professional experience, including 2+ years in a project or program management capacity.
• Associate Director: 8+ years, including 4+ years in a project or program management capacity.
• Equivalent combinations of education and experience will be considered.
• Biopharmaceutical CMC experience is strongly preferred.
• Familiarity with drug substance and drug product development, analytical development, GMP manufacturing, and working through CDMOs/CMOs.
• Experience managing projects beyond CMC (clinical operations, regulatory affairs, or general program management).
• Demonstrated experience building and maintaining integrated timelines in a recognized planning tool.
• Experience supporting programs through clinical development (Phase 1–3) is valued; late-stage or registrational experience is a plus, not a requirement.

Essential Skills and Abilities

• Exceptional organization and attention to detail.
• A natural facilitator: runs meetings that start on time, stay on agenda, and close with clear decisions.
• Disciplined follow-through — tracks commitments against stated goals and objectives.
• Able to influence and create accountability without direct authority.
• Clear and concise written and verbal communication.
• Comfortable with ambiguity and shifting priorities.
• Scientific and technical curiosity.
• Sound judgment and discretion, with the ability to operate independently.
• Strong working proficiency with Excel, PowerPoint, and SharePoint/Teams.
• Flexible with an “all-hands” mindset.

Benefits

• Equal employment opportunities to all employees and applicants for employment.
• Prohibits discrimination and harassment of any type.
