Role Summary

The Senior Medical Project Manager acts as the execution engine for Mindpeak’s clinical and pharmaceutical partnerships.

• Balance partner feature creep with internal resources, ensuring commitments are met without compromising quality.
• Act as a trusted, high‑presentability advisor to our Pharma partners.
• Navigate difficult conversations regarding delays or technical limitations while maintaining excellent long‑term relationships.
• Keep the customer happy through proactive communication and solution‑oriented management.

• Reduce onboarding time for new partners to less than one hour.
• Connect scientific needs to the product roadmap to ensure long‑term business value.
• Interpret IHC/pathology results and translate them for the engineering team.
• Apply the 80/20 rule: know when a project requires 100% scientific depth and when pragmatic speed is needed to hit a commercial deadline.

Candidate Profile

• Master’s degree in Biology, Molecular Biology, Biomedical Sciences, or a related field with a software‑native mindset.
• 5+ years of professional experience in project management, ideally in Biotech, Pharma, or MedTech.

• Nice‑to‑have: PhD in Pathology/Histology, basic Python skills, or a background in top‑tier management consulting.
• Based in Hamburg with regular on‑site presence.

Benefits

• Opportunity to build AI systems that power clinical cancer diagnostics and drug development.
• Open, creative work environment with flat hierarchies and quick decision‑making.
