Job Summary

The Project Manager – Technology & Systems Delivery leads a diverse portfolio of technology implementation and infrastructure projects for life sciences clients, spanning cybersecurity, cloud optimization, applied AI/ML, enterprise systems integration, and laboratory/IT asset management. This is a part-time engagement of up to 16 hours per week, with the majority of work performed remotely and periodic on-site presence in Cambridge, MA (approximately 10% of time) to support workshops, stakeholder meetings, and site-based activities. This role owns project delivery end-to-end — scope, schedule, budget, risk, and stakeholder communication — across concurrent workstreams that vary widely in technical domain but share a common need for disciplined PMO rigor. The ideal candidate is a versatile, technically fluent project manager who can quickly get up to speed on new technology domains, translate technical complexity into clear plans and status for business stakeholders, and keep multiple cross-functional initiatives moving in a regulated, GxP-aware environment on a focused, part-time schedule.

Responsibilities

• Plan, execute, and manage full project lifecycles — charter, scope, schedule, budget, RAID log, and change control — across a rotating portfolio of technology delivery projects.
• Serve as the primary point of accountability for project status, risks, and issues, providing clear, consistent reporting to client stakeholders and Slipstream leadership.
• Coordinate cross-functional and cross-vendor project teams, including internal consultants, client IT/security staff, and third-party implementation partners.
• Facilitate requirements gathering, design, and validation workshops; manage action items, decisions, and follow-up questions through resolution.
• Manage project financials, including budget tracking, resource forecasting, and change order documentation.
• Apply PMO best practices consistently across projects while tailoring communication and governance cadence to each project's risk profile and client culture.

AI-Based Email Security Implementation

• • Coordinate rollout of AI-driven email threat detection and phishing prevention tools, including scoping, pilot testing, phased deployment, and end-user change management.
  • Partner with IT security and messaging teams to define success metrics, manage vendor deliverables, and track remediation of identified gaps.

Azure VM Optimization

• • Manage projects focused on right-sizing, cost optimization, and performance tuning of Azure virtual machine environments.
  • Track infrastructure assessment findings, coordinate remediation with cloud engineering resources, and report on cost-savings and performance outcomes.

AI/ML Pilot Program

• • Lead structured pilots evaluating AI/ML use cases, coordinating data access, model evaluation criteria, and stakeholder feedback loops.
  • Manage pilot governance — defined success criteria, timeboxed evaluation windows, and go/no-go decision points — and document outcomes for scale-up decisions.
