@keriselyttle
Project management professional specializing in biopharmaceutical clinical operations.
What I'm looking for
I am a dynamic project management professional with over seven years' experience in the biopharmaceutical industry, specialising in clinical supply, biomedical imaging, and oncology-related projects. I lead cross-functional teams with a focus on delivering projects on time and within budget while maintaining compliance with regulatory frameworks.
My background spans end-to-end clinical supply chain management, software implementation, and infrastructure migration, where I have served as primary client liaison and managed multiple concurrent, high-complexity projects. I apply both Agile and Waterfall methodologies and employ tools such as Microsoft 365, Azure, JIRA, and Salesforce to drive execution and reporting.
I have a strong foundation in regulatory and quality frameworks (GCP, GLP, OECD, ICH, EMA, FDA, PDMA) and a proven record of risk management, budget oversight, and vendor coordination across global teams. I hold PMI certifications including PMP and Professional in Business Analysis, and additional training in Six Sigma, Lean, Kaizen, and Scrum/Agile.
Bilingual in English and Japanese, I combine analytical rigour with stakeholder-focused communication to ensure audit readiness and successful project outcomes in complex, regulated environments. I am motivated to lead initiatives that improve processes, reduce waste, and ensure patient-centric delivery of clinical trial supplies and services.
