Scientific Project Manager – Laboratory Operations
Our Dublin based are currently recruiting for a Scientific Project Manager to coordinate workflow, optimize laboratory throughput, and manage milestone delivery across specialized biosafety and testing suites.

Working closely with the lab and operations teams, you will bridge the gap between experimental schedules, equipment capacity, and commercial project delivery. This role is ideal for a scientist looking to transition fully into operational leadership, or an established PM with laboratory/CRO experience.

Responsibilities:

• Lab Scheduling & Capacity: Coordinate schedules for specialized equipment (e.g., exposure chambers, bio-suites) and technical personnel to minimize downtime and maximize study throughput.
• Project Delivery & Governance: Guide projects through stage-gate reviews, milestone tracking, and change-control procedures aligned with scientific protocol requirements.
• Budget & Resource Tracking: Monitor study budgets, project burn rates, material costs, and resource utilization to keep projects on schedule and within financial targets.
• Stakeholder Reporting: Provide clear milestone updates, risk flags, and progress dashboards for scientific leaders, executive teams, and external sponsors.
• Continuous Improvement: Identify operational bottlenecks, standardize standard operating procedures (SOPs), and support workflow optimizations in compliance with cGLP/ISO standards.

• 2+ years of project/portfolio experience in regulated scientific, laboratory, or CRO environments.
• Project Management & Methodology: PMP® (Project Management Professional), CAPM®, or PRINCE2 certification is strongly preferred.
• Familiarity with cGLP/ISO environments and regulatory compliance.
• Strong analytical, data visualization, and cross-functional leadership skills.
• Advanced degree in Science, Engineering, or Business; PMP or Lean/Six Sigma certification preferred.
