The role combines disciplined project management with practical security and technology knowledge to deliver outcomes that reduce risk, strengthen security capabilities, and support Worldwide Clinical Trials’ business objectives. Working with limited oversight, the Project Manager will establish project structure, coordinate cross-functional teams, manage dependencies and risks, and provide clear reporting to technical teams, business leaders, and executives. Success requires prior experience delivering information security projects, the ability to translate between technical terminology and clinical research organization business requirements, and a highly collaborative approach that builds accountability without relying on direct authority. RESPONSIBILITIES: Tasks may include but are not limited to: Project leadership: Independently lead information security projects from initiation through closure, including defining objectives, scope, deliverables, milestones, resource needs, success measures, and acceptance criteria. Security delivery planning: Convert security strategies, risk treatment plans, audit findings, regulatory commitments, and operational needs into executable project plans with clear ownership, dependencies, and timelines. Hands-on project management: Maintain schedules, action logs, decision records, risk and issue registers, budgets, status reports, and project documentation. Facilitate working sessions, remove obstacles, and follow through on commitments rather than serving only as a meeting coordinator. Cross-functional coordination: Bring together Information Security, Information Technology, Privacy, Legal, Quality, Vendor Management, Procurement, Clinical Operations, and other business functions to achieve agreed outcomes in a matrixed environment.
