At CSL, we’re advancing science that saves and improves lives. Our R&D organisation connects discovery, development and manufacturing expertise to bring new therapies to patients worldwide. We operate with a project-led mindset — flexible, collaborative and focused on meaningful outcomes. The role We’re looking for a Drug Development Project Manager — someone who understands how discovery turns into development, and development turns into real therapies for patients. This is not a generic project management position; it’s about driving the scientific, technical and operational progress that determines whether a potential medicine succeeds. You’ll be the connection between scientific strategy and operational delivery, coordinating complex, global programmes that draw on expertise from discovery, clinical, regulatory, CMC and commercial functions. Your focus will be keeping teams aligned, assessing scenarios and making decisions in a timely fashion. This ensures that every milestone moves us closer to patients who need new treatment options. Why this job This role sits along the central axis of some of CSL’s most strategically important development programmes — the kind of projects where coordination and clarity make the difference between momentum and delay. It’s an opportunity to work at the point where science, strategy and execution meet; to see the bigger picture while ensuring every moving part is in sync. For an experienced drug development project manager, this is the chance to apply your skills where they truly shape outcomes, not just track them. CSL is at an inflection point. It represents a tremendous opportunity to be involved, to work with key decision makers and have influence on project progression. We have exciting, new assets coming out of our research portfolio as well as an existing portfolio of medicines which we’re looking into further transforming to improve the quality of patients’ lives What you’ll do Translate project strategy into executable plans with clear timelines, budgets and risk management. Lead and motivate multidisciplinary teams across discovery, clinical, regulatory and CMC. Anticipate challenges, evaluate scenarios and keep teams aligned on critical path activities. Present concise updates and recommendations to senior stakeholders. Coach and mentor colleagues in project management best practice and delivery discipline. What you’ll bring Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in science, engineering or related discipline (advanced degree preferred). 7 years in biotech or pharmaceutical R&D, including 5 years managing cross-functional programmes. Broad understanding of drug development, clinical, CMC and regulatory processes. Demonstrated success in delivering projects on time, within budget and to agreed quality standards. Excellent communication and influencing skills; ability to work effectively across cultures and time zones. Strong proficiency in project management tools and methodologies (e.g. Microsoft Project, PMP certification advantageous). Join us if you want to combine scientific curiosity with disciplined delivery — helping shape the therapies that make a lasting difference for patients around the world.
