• Software orchestration platform (order intake through shipment, inventory, routing, verification, and compliance)
• Integration layer (interfaces to pharmacy management systems, EHR/EMR platforms, wholesaler systems, and shipping/manifest systems)
• Process and facility design (material flow, replenishment, staffing models, and space utilization)
• Identify cross-layer dependencies and risks early and drive resolution across specialized engineering teams.

• Lead structured requirements intake and ensure velocity analysis, facility constraints, and integration complexity are properly addressed during the design phase.
• Coordinate interface design, data mapping, and integration testing with client IT and pharmacy systems teams.
• Review and challenge technical designs to ensure they support throughput, uptime, scalability, and operational realities.

• Act as the central coordination point between Netherlands-based engineering/product teams, India-based delivery resources, and U.S.-based client and internal teams.
• Manage day-to-day communication and alignment with client pharmacy operations, IT, facility, and executive stakeholders.
• Coordinate third-party vendors, contractors, and internal resources required for installation, commissioning, and go-live.

• 10+ years of project management experience delivering complex technology or automation implementations, preferably in healthcare, pharmacy automation, industrial automation, or regulated environments.
• Demonstrated ability to manage multi-site, multi-stakeholder projects with distributed teams.
• Strong understanding of systems integration concepts (APIs, interfaces, data flows between enterprise systems).
• Experience coordinating across engineering, software, operations, and client teams.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to translate technical issues for both engineering and business audiences.
• Willingness to travel as required for site assessments, installation support, and go-live activities.

• Experience with pharmacy automation, central fill, mail-order pharmacy, or high-volume fulfillment systems.
• Familiarity with pharmacy management systems, EHR platforms, or medication fulfillment workflows.
• Prior experience working with international engineering or delivery teams (Europe and/or India).
• PMP or equivalent project management certification.
• Background in facility design, material handling, or production-line style automation projects.

• Technical curiosity and the ability to rapidly build working knowledge of complex systems
• Strong systems thinking (ability to see interdependencies across hardware, software, process, and people)
• Structured problem-solving and risk management
• Clear, concise stakeholder communication
• Ability to drive accountability across distributed teams without direct authority
• Calm under pressure during installation and go-live phases

• On-time and on-scope project delivery
• Successful go-lives with minimal post-implementation issues
