CY Partners is working with a high growth, regulated life sciences organisation to support the appointment of a Associate Programme Coordinator. This is a rare opportunity for a science graduate who is keen to build a long term career in project or programme management, working at the intersection of science, regulation and commercial delivery.
This role sits within a highly collaborative project management function, supporting the delivery of complex programmes in medical devices and diagnostics. It is deliberately positioned as a development role, offering structured exposure to cross functional delivery and a clear progression route into Project Manager / Programme Manager positions.
The Opportunity
You’ll work closely with experienced programme and project managers, supporting the coordination of technical, regulatory, quality and clinical activities across multiple workstreams. You won’t be expected to ‘know everything’ on day one but you will be expected to learn quickly, communicate clearly and take ownership of coordination and follow through.
A key feature of this role is regular interaction with Korean speaking stakeholders and partners, making full professional fluency in both English and Korean essential.
This is a hybrid role, combining on site collaboration with flexible remote working.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Supporting programme and project planning, tracking milestones, actions and dependencies.
* Coordinating inputs from cross-functional scientific, regulatory and quality teams.
* Preparing meeting materials, capturing actions and maintaining project documentation.
* Assisting with risk, issue and change tracking under established governance processes.
* Translating and communicating clearly between English and Korean speaking stakeholders.
* Developing a strong understanding of how regulated life sciences programmes are delivered.
Who This Role Is For
This role will suit someone who:
* Holds a BSc or MSc in a scientific discipline (life sciences, biomedical science, chemistry or similar)
* Is fully fluent in both English and Korean (spoken and written is essential)
* Has an interest in moving into project or programme management rather than staying purely lab based
* Is organised, detail oriented and comfortable working across multiple priorities
* Enjoys working with people and translating complex information clearly
Exposure to project based work, regulated environments, or life sciences industry is beneficial — but potential, mindset, and communication ability matter more than years of experience.
Why This Role Stands Out
* Clear career pathway into Project / Programme Management
* Genuine exposure to regulated product development and delivery
* High visibility across technical and leadership teams
* Use of bilingual capability as a core value-add, not a tick box
* A role designed to develop future programme leaders, not just administrators
* This is a hybrid role, combining on-site collaboration with flexible remote working
Interested?
If you’re a science graduate looking to step into a commercial, coordination-focused role and you are fully fluent in both English and Korean, we’d like to hear from you.
