In this role, you will act as a key driver of IT projects, ensuring that teams, vendors, and stakeholders are aligned to deliver projects on time, within scope, and at the expected level of quality.

This is not a hands-on development role — you will be at the center of delivery, coordinating teams, managing priorities, and removing blockers to ensure smooth execution across complex, cross-functional environments.

Working closely with the Delivery Excellence Lead, you will play a central role in driving delivery performance across multiple agile teams.

Your key responsibilities

• Lead and coordinate end-to-end delivery of IT projects across R&D and Medical domains.
• Act as the central point of coordination between business, IT teams, and external vendors.
• Manage planning, priorities, risks, and dependencies across multiple initiatives.
• Ensure projects are delivered on time, on quality, and in alignment with business expectations.
• Monitor delivery performance through KPIs (velocity, lead time, etc.) and drive continuous improvement.
• Identify and resolve blockers, escalating when necessary to ensure progress.
• Promote and enforce Agile/SAFe best practices across teams.
• Ensure alignment with DevOps processes and support smooth deployments.
• Contribute to delivery governance, reporting, and stakeholder communication.

Your profile & expertise

• 5+ years of experience in IT delivery or project management roles.
• Strong experience coordinating cross-functional teams in agile environments.
• Ability to manage complex projects end-to-end
• Experience working in matrix organizations with multiple stakeholders.
• Good understanding of Agile methodologies (Scrum, SAFe).
• Familiarity with delivery tools (Jira, Azure DevOps, Jenkins).
• Good understanding of DevOps practices (not necessarily hands-on).
• Experience in regulated environments (GxP) is a strong plus.
• Strong communication, coordination, and stakeholder management skills.
• Ability to prioritize, unblock situations, and drive execution.
• Comfortable interacting with senior stakeholders and external vendors.
• Fluent in English.

Why join Ipsen?

• Opportunity to join a growing team with multiple open positions.
• A central role driving IT delivery across R&D and Medical domains.
• Exposure to complex, high-impact digital and data projects.
• A collaborative and international environment focused on innovation and execution excellence.
