About our client and the role

About the Company

Our client is a specialist UK-based delivery partner supporting pharmaceutical and medical device organisations across marketing, communications, education, and events. Working across print, digital, and live engagement channels, they deliver high-quality, compliant project execution within highly regulated environments.

Their work is built around strong operational delivery, deep understanding of pharmaceutical compliance processes, and a modern approach to project execution supported by technology and AI-enabled workflows.

This is an exciting opportunity to join a growing, agile delivery team supporting global healthcare brands on complex and fast-moving projects.

The Opportunity

We are looking for a highly capable, commercially minded Freelance Client Delivery & Operations Manager to take ownership of pharmaceutical client accounts and lead the successful delivery of multiple projects simultaneously.

You will act as the central point of coordination between clients, delivery teams, freelancers, and internal stakeholders — ensuring projects are delivered compliantly, efficiently, on time, and to an exceptional standard.

• Experience working with freelance or distributed delivery teams
• Exposure to project management methodologies such as Agile, Waterfall, PRINCE2, or similar
• Experience using project management and collaboration tools
• Healthcare agency, pharma communications, medical education, or events experience
• Degree qualification or equivalent industry experience

Personal Attributes

We are looking for someone who is:

• Highly proactive and solutions-focused
• Commercially minded and delivery-driven
• Confident communicating with senior pharmaceutical stakeholders
• Calm under pressure and highly organised
• Comfortable owning problems and driving resolutions
• Motivated by quality, efficiency, and continuous improvement
• Adaptable, hands-on, and capable of thriving in a fast-moving environment

Key Responsibilities

Project Delivery

• Lead end-to-end delivery of pharmaceutical marketing, communications, education, and event projects
• Coordinate cross-functional freelance teams across creative, copy, QA, digital, and events
• Build and maintain project plans, timelines, and delivery schedules
• Ensure projects are delivered on time, within scope, and to regulatory standards
• Manage risks, dependencies, and delivery challenges proactively
• Support continuous improvement initiatives across project workflows and operations

Operations & Process Management

• Maintain visibility across active projects and account performance
• Provide regular delivery updates and status reporting
• Support operational efficiencies and scalable delivery processes
• Collaborate closely with leadership to ensure smooth project execution

Working Arrangement

• Fully remote, home-based role within the UK
• Flexibility required to support project and client delivery needs
• Occasional travel may be required for client meetings or workshops

Why Join?

This is an opportunity to join a growing specialist delivery environment where you will have real ownership, autonomy, and influence across client delivery and operational excellence.

You’ll work alongside experienced pharmaceutical delivery specialists on impactful projects for leading healthcare brands, while contributing to the evolution of modern, technology-enabled project delivery practices.
