Delivery Manager in Drug Development

Why do we need you?

We’re looking for a talented (Senior) Delivery Manager to lead high-impact software development projects. If you’re passionate about delivering successful, data-driven solutions, this is your opportunity.

You will be responsible for leading the successful delivery of custom software projects for pharma and biotech clients, with a special focus on clinical trials and data-intensive applications. A solid understanding of the software development lifecycle (SDLC) will be essential to ensure smooth execution, technical alignment, and top-quality outcomes.

You will ensure seamless collaboration, drive measurable value for clients, maintain high employee satisfaction within the team, and contribute to Appsilon’s growth and success.

Your responsibilities:

• Lead data-focused projects for pharma and biotech clients, especially those related to clinical trials.

• Build strong relationships with clients: understand their needs, offer advice, and solve problems.

• Ensure clients are satisfied and want to continue working with us.

• Work with the Sales team on pre-sales and the Account Management team on cross-sell and upsell opportunities by identifying client needs, providing proactive insights, and leveraging your expertise in clinical trials.

• Step in as a Project or Product Manager when needed: manage the backlog, clarify requirements, and support engineers.

We’re looking for someone with:

• 5+ years of experience in a similar role or in top consulting firms.

• Proven track record of leading successful IT projects in pharma/biotech.

• Knowledge of CDISC standards (e.g., SDTM, ADaM, SEND) and experience with clinical trial data tools or workflows. A background in molecular biology or bioinformatics is a strong plus.

• Experience in working directly with clients and managing relationships.

• Ability to talk to both business and technical people.

• High motivation to achieve success, can-do attitude, business maturity, patience, strong communication skills, and a high level of professionalism.

• Willingness to travel a few times a year when needed (client visits, conferences, etc.).

• English Fluency: C1/C2 level.

• Comfortable working across time zones, including overlap with Europe and the US.

We offer:

• Fully remote work, with flexibility to collaborate across time zones and adapt working hours to project and client needs.

• A senior delivery role with real ownership and influence - you lead end-to-end projects that directly impact clinical and data-driven decisions in pharma and biotech.

• Close, long-term collaboration with global clients, where your expertise shapes delivery strategy, client satisfaction, and measurable business value.

• The opportunity to work at the intersection of delivery, consulting, and pre-sales, contributing to account growth and strategic client relationships.

• Competitive B2B compensation aligned with seniority, responsibility, and impact, with clear and transparent terms.

• Time and budget for continuous professional development, including domain knowledge, certifications, and industry events.

• Collaboration with experienced engineers, data scientists, and subject matter experts in a supportive, high-trust environment.

• Modern equipment (MacBook or ThinkPad with Linux) and tools that enable efficient, high-quality delivery work.

• A remote-first culture built on trust, ownership, and kindness, where teams collaborate effectively and take pride in high-quality delivery.

Important note: To complete the hiring process, you need to have a valid government-issued ID (for Polish citizens) or a valid passport (for non-Polish citizens).
