We are looking for an experienced IT Project Manager with strong Operational Technology (OT) expertise to lead complex global migration and upgrade projects in a regulated pharmaceutical manufacturing environment. The successful candidate will drive site-level and global OT/AD domain transitions, GxP system upgrades, and related infrastructure initiatives across multiple international sites. This role requires a deep understanding of pharma operations, strict regulatory compliance (GxP), and the ability to coordinate with diverse stakeholders including site leadership, QA, and global IT teams.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead end-to-end planning and execution of OT Active Directory (AD) domain migrations and infrastructure upgrades across global manufacturing sites.
• Manage site-level OT/AD migration activities, including backlog creation, resource alignment, execution tracking, and risk mitigation for 2026 milestones.
• Coordinate global application upgrades and integrations.
• Drive Global QA strategy alignment, documentation, and sign-off processes to ensure compliance with GxP requirements.
• Engage with site heads, local QA representatives, system owners, and project stakeholders to secure buy-in, resolve resource conflicts, and manage commitments.
• Monitor project progress against plan, report status (including risks and issues such as site engagement, QA delays, and infrastructure dependencies), and implement mitigation actions.
• Industrialize migration processes to achieve repeatable, efficient domain transitions with consistent run rates.
• Collaborate with global and local teams to align on standardized approaches, checklists, and quality controls for GxP-compliant execution.
• Facilitate cross-functional discussions, escalations, and decision-making involving multiple geographies (Europe, Asia, Americas).

Must-Have Qualifications

• Significant OT (Operational Technology) experience in industrial/manufacturing environments.
• Strong Pharma industry background with proven track record in regulated manufacturing sites.
• Extensive GxP project experience — deep knowledge of GMP/GxP compliance, validation, and quality requirements for IT/OT systems.
• Proven experience managing complex, multi-site global IT/OT infrastructure and application migration projects.
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, especially with site leadership and Quality Assurance teams.
• Strong risk management, reporting, and escalation capabilities in matrixed, international environments.
• Solid understanding of Active Directory domain migrations, infrastructure dependencies, and OT system integrations.

Preferred Skills & Experience

• Track record of successful large-scale domain migrations or OT modernization projects in life sciences.
• Ability to work effectively across time zones and cultures.
• PMP, Prince2, or similar project management certification is a plus.
