This hands-on role combines strategic operations, project management, account planning, and executive support. You will bring structure to complex priorities, ensure stakeholders remain aligned, and turn strategic discussions into clear decisions and measurable actions. By coordinating client opportunities, leadership activities, and enterprise pipeline visibility, you will help teams collaborate more effectively and advance integrated solutions.

Accountabilities:

In this role, you will coordinate strategic priorities, strengthen collaboration across business functions, and ensure that key initiatives progress efficiently from planning to execution. Your responsibilities will include:

• Coordinate account planning for priority pharmaceutical clients, including executive meetings, quarterly business reviews, client touchpoints, follow-ups, and cross-functional planning.
• Manage senior leadership calendars and coordinate important leadership and client activities, prioritizing commitments, identifying key participants, and preparing agendas and materials that support effective decision-making.
• Maintain a forward-looking overview of account priorities, client milestones, proposal deadlines, leadership meetings, and cross-functional opportunities.
• Track the enterprise pipeline, account plans, opportunity stages, owners, next steps, follow-ups, and available revenue attribution across priority accounts.
• Identify stalled opportunities, scheduling conflicts, ownership gaps, and unresolved decisions, escalating issues proactively when necessary.
• Build a strong understanding of organizational capabilities and coordinate the involvement of relationship executives, subject-matter experts, solution leads, and delivery teams based on client needs.
• Support revenue reporting by coordinating cross-functional inputs and tracking opportunities, ownership, next actions, and available revenue attribution without owning revenue targets or decisions.
• Prepare stakeholders for strategic meetings by developing agendas, briefing documents, presentations, account updates, and recommended next steps.
• Help develop and implement repeatable account-planning tools, proposal processes, handoff workflows, governance models, and performance-tracking systems.
• Coordinate post-meeting follow-through and governance activities, documenting commitments, clarifying ownership, and ensuring action items progress to completion.

• At least 5 years of experience in project management, strategic operations, account management, or a related field.
• Demonstrated ability to work independently and coordinate complex initiatives involving senior stakeholders.
• Strong organizational and project-management skills, with exceptional attention to detail, prioritization, and follow-through.
• A proactive, hands-on approach, with the judgment to anticipate needs, identify risks, resolve coordination gaps, and drive progress without constant direction.
• Strategic thinking skills, including the ability to connect individual meetings, client opportunities, and account plans to broader business growth objectives.
• Experience working collaboratively with senior leaders, client-facing teams, and multiple business functions.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, including the ability to draft, synthesize, and refine executive-ready presentations, briefing materials, and account updates.
