You will develop partnership as well with the different workpackage leaders assigned to specific functional streams (ie Sales, Marketing, Finance, IS, Supply Chain…) of the target process and animate the project core team to ensure a successful collaborative achievement of the project objectives.

What will be your responsibilities within bioMérieux ?

As a Project Manager, you will ensure the following missions:

• Co-deliver with the project leaders the scoping elements: formalized objectives and scope, high level planning, phasing, resources plan, target objectives and risks plan.

In key phases, you will integrate to your project the support of external consultants to support critical steps of design making or implementation requiring additional skills or resources.

While the first design steps of your project will focus on process design, roles & responsibilities assignments, you will anticipate how they will be supported in a later phase by new information systems to facilitate the different activities related to data management (statistical modelization, navigation, quantities valuation, alerts) and collaborative decision making (assessment, qualification, scenarization…). This system design & implementation will progressively integrate the scope of your project and your perimeter of accountabilities.
