Description
At Biocon Biologics, a model for the future of healthcare is being created where patients are the top priority. The company is a key player in the biosimilars revolution with the goal of impacting a billion lives. This is achieved through a culture of affordable innovation, patient centricity, and disruptive thinking. As a multicultural global company, employees work with purpose and passion alongside partners and patients. Biocon Biologics has established expertise in biosimilars, covering development, manufacturing, clinical development, regulatory approvals, and commercialization, with a commitment to providing high-quality and affordable biosimilars worldwide. Your responsibilities in this role include program and project management for development programs focused on biosimilars. This entails tasks such as obtaining business case approvals, preparing project charters, managing project schedules, tracking execution and budget commitments, and ensuring successful project delivery within specified timelines and budgets. You will also need to follow the Governance Structure and Escalation Matrix set by the Global Program Management function. Scope and Schedule management are crucial aspects of the role, involving finalizing project scopes and plans, monitoring plan versus actual progress, proactively addressing potential impacts, and using scheduling tools to track project lifecycles. Stakeholder management is another key responsibility, requiring coordination with cross-functional teams to ensure project deliverables remain on track through effective communication, escalation, and problem-solving. Budget planning and forecasting for development programs are essential tasks, involving collaboration with Finance, R&D, Regulatory, Clinical, and Operations teams to finalize budget forecasts and track actual expenses. Negotiating with service providers and controlling project progression to prevent scope/cost creep are also part of the role. In terms of regulatory tasks, you will need to ensure data package readiness for dossier submissions, liaise with regulatory affairs teams for variation filings, and coordinate responses to agency queries. Working closely with legal teams is necessary to ensure the readiness of essential documents before engaging with external vendors and CROs. Logistics and procurement coordination are vital components, requiring interactions with procurement and logistics teams to track shipments and ensure availability of project-related materials. Technology transfers to third-party service providers or in-house facilities will also be managed as part of the role. As part of the PMO responsibilities, you will develop systems and processes to enhance operational efficiency, handle MIS and management reporting, promote project management practices among cross-functional teams, and identify business enhancement opportunities for project proposals. The ideal candidate for this position should have 5 to 10 years of overall experience, with a preference for biosimilar experience.,
