Fundamentally, Seven Bridges Program Managers are empathetic, strong communicators who excel at managing and organizing large, complex initiatives with multiple stakeholders and external collaborators.

They keep the big picture in focus by integrating goals and project milestones from multiple initiatives across the company and community, defining and clearly communicating priorities, and ultimately ensuring that the products we build make research easier and faster for the scientific communities we serve.
