Project Manager - CDMO Projects for Minerva Imaging
Join Minerva Imaging and take ownership of complex projects - driving them from early development through tech transfer to clinical supply as part of our contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO).
Minerva Imaging is looking for a proactive and empathic Project Manager who can lead through influence rather than authority, guiding cross-functional teams in a collaborative and innovative environment.
As a Project Manager in our CDMO unit, you will be responsible for leading sponsor-related projects across a multidisciplinary setting, working closely with both internal experts and external partners. Success in this role requires strategic thinking, strong interpersonal skills, and the ability to navigate complexity while keeping people aligned and motivated.
You will take ownership of projects spanning early development through technical transfer, ensuring a seamless transition from R&D – whether from sponsors or contract research organizations – into reliable clinical supply.
We are looking for someone who can quickly understand new concepts, adapt to changing environments, and confidently navigate complex technical and regulatory landscapes. You may already bring experience from a CRO, CDMO, biotech, or pharmaceutical setting – or you might be an early-career professional with strong curiosity, drive, and the motivation to grow into the role. A solid or developing understanding of CMC and regulatory requirements is expected.
If you are eager to join an innovative company that has been recognized with six Gazelle awards for our exceptional growth, we want to hear from you.
We welcome both experienced professionals and motivated early-career candidates, and we will align the level and responsibilities of the role based on your experience and potential.
About the Role
As Project Manager, you will guide CDMO/CMC projects from initial technical transfer through to clinical supply, ensuring alignment across stakeholders and delivery on key objectives.
You will act as the central driver of your projects: setting direction, facilitating collaboration, and ensuring progress while balancing quality, timelines, and stakeholder expectations. Your ability to engage others with empathy, respect diverse perspectives, and build trust across functions is essential. Together with your colleagues, you will help Minerva to grow sustainably and support improvement activities ranging from business development & client interaction to technical excellence.
Your key responsibilities will include:
- Facilitate efficient transfer of processes and knowledge from sponsors or CROs into the CDMO unit
- Lead cross-functional project teams in the development and optimization of radiopharmaceutical products (e.g., radioligand therapies) and manufacturing processes
- Drive structured project execution while remaining flexible and responsive to fast change
- Ensure alignment on timelines, budgets & quality standards with internal and external partners
- Manage CMC-related documentation and support compliance with regulatory guidelines
- Interpret and implement relevant regulatory guidelines (FDA, EMA, ICH) into project planning and execution
- Contribute to the development of the project management framework, processes and tools within Minerva Imaging
Qualifications:
- A collaborative team player with the ability to influence, guide, and support others
- A master’s degree or PhD degree combined with relevant working experience
- Experience in project management or a strong ambition to develop within project management in a CMC/CDMO environment (for junior candidates: demonstrated curiosity, fast learning ability, and motivation to work with complex technical projects is a must)
- Understanding (or strong interest in developing understanding) of CMC regulatory requirements and guidelines (e.g., FDA, EMA, ICH) and experience with GMP and CMC-related documentation
- Structured and methodical approach to work, with familiarity in project management tools
- Strong written and verbal communication skills in English
