5 days ago
Description
PURPOSE OF THE FUNCTION
At argenx, distinction is made between project teams driving asset (molecule) strategy development and high level execution and those driving indication strategy development and execution within boundaries set by the former.
Early Development Strategy Teams (EDST) focus on asset development until a decision to enter Clinical Phase 2A, proof of concept in patients.
Thereafter, the teams are referred to as Asset Strategy Teams (AST).Clinical Development Teams (CDT) focus on a single clinical indication and may share subject matter expert (SME) Leads with other CDTs e.g., across a franchise, a combination of indications within a given medical specialty.
Once the CDT starts launching this indication into the market, the team is referred to as Indication Development Team (IDT) and the team leadership shifts from clinical operational to more commercial orientation.
The Drug Development Project Manager (DDPM) oversees the high-level plans and progress of all aforementioned teams working on the asset, end-to-end from pre-clinical into commercial.
In addition, they add indication overarching activities and milestones for which they document downstream impact and justification of change to include project budget and resourcing.
They partner with the Asset Strategy Lead and the function Leads constituting the EDST or AST. The DDPM compiles and owns the integrated cross-functional project plan, translating the corporate strategy.
Like all PMs at PMO, DDPM champion project management techniques and processes, coach team members on their consistent utilization, including mapping and mitigation of project risks, and applying and logging lessons learned.
They closely collaborate with stakeholders who own, contribute to, and/or manage the project and the impact of decisions and changing circumstances.
This to drive timely availability of documents as planned.ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
