Role Purpose
The Strategic Project Manager will drive end-to-end execution of Pharma BU’s India 2.0 agenda — turning strategy into prioritized programs, shipped outcomes, measurable value, and institutionalized ways of working. The role acts as the execution engine and governance anchor, ensuring cross-functional alignment across Product Management, Engineering/R&D, Localization, Procurement, Quality/Regulatory, Manufacturing/Partners, Digital/Automation, Order-to-Delivery, and Service.
Core mission:
Deliver profitable growth + speed + competitiveness through a structured portfolio of initiatives (localization, product/solution fit, cost-out, supply readiness, service capability, digital/automation enablement, and operating-model upgrades).
1) Portfolio & Program Leadership (Strategy → Execution)
Translate India 2.0 Pharma strategy into a well-structured initiative portfolio: charters, milestones, business cases, dependencies.
Build and maintain an integrated master plan across functions, vendors, and global stakeholders.
Run workstream governance: cadence, reviews, RAID logs (Risks/Assumptions/Issues/Dependencies), decision registers.
2) Business Case & Value Realization (Make it measurable)
Drive initiative business cases: margin impact, cost-out, lead-time reduction, working capital, revenue acceleration.
Set up benefits tracking with Finance: baseline, targets, monthly realization, variance analysis, corrective actions.
Ensure initiatives are sequenced for value (quick wins + structural improvements).
3) Cross-Functional Execution & Delivery Management
Orchestrate collaboration across Product Management, Engineering, Procurement, Manufacturing/Partners, QA, Regulatory, Sales, Service, Finance.
Ensure deliverables are delivered on time: specs, drawings, supplier qualification, QA plans, validation packs, documentation, training.
Identify and remove blockers, escalate early, and drive decision-making.
4) Stakeholder & Change Management (Make adoption real)
Align leadership on priorities and trade-offs; manage conflicts through structured decision pathways.
Drive adoption of new processes and tools; create SOPs/playbooks where needed.
Communicate progress via sharp weekly updates and executive-ready monthly dashboards.
5) Risk, Quality, and Compliance Assurance
Proactively manage risk in localization and execution: supplier readiness, quality audits, critical components, documentation.
Ensure alignment with relevant Pharma quality expectations (e.g., validation readiness, traceability, documentation discipline).
Maintain clear go/no-go criteria, stage gates, and escalation thresholds.
