About the Role
The Opportunity
This is not a traditional PMO leadership role. It is a senior governance and strategy position within the Chief of Staff Office, built around Azurity's Management System the operating discipline that allows a fast-growing pharmaceutical company to execute at scale.
You will work in close partnership with the Chief of Staff, acting as a genuine strategy partner: asking the right questions, holding execution to a high standard, and giving leadership a clear, reliable view of what is actually happening across the business. You will also help build something Azurity needs more of: a Management System that is genuinely used, understood, and trusted one that becomes part of how the company operates, rather than a framework that exists on paper.
A significant part of the role is developing the capability of the managers who run the business day to day giving them the standards, coaching, and confidence to lead their own execution well. This is a senior leadership opportunity for someone who wants direct partnership with a Chief of Staff and a genuine mandate to build lasting operating capability inside a growing organization.
What You'll Do
- Serve as a strategic partner to leadership. Act as an extension of the Chief of Staff, helping ensure execution happens across the business, not just plans on paper.
- Strengthen adoption of the Management System. Champion clear, consistent standards for how work is planned, tracked, and decided, and make them a natural part of how Azurity operates.
- Develop the capability of frontline and middle managers. Build the skill and confidence of the managers who own execution day to day, so rigor and follow-through do not depend on your direct involvement.
- Lead a team of Business Partners. Hire, develop, and mentor a team embedded across the business, each acting as a trusted advisor and strategy partner to their part of the organization.
- Provide visibility into strategic priorities. Ensure the company's top priorities are clearly communicated, and that leadership has an accurate view of what is on track and what needs attention.
- Lead business integrations. Own the integration of newly acquired businesses, products, or functions into Azurity, and be accountable for their success.
- Own the Steering Committee. Set the cadence, agenda, and discipline of the company's top governance forum, and keep it focused and decision-oriented.

- Leadership has a clear, accurate view of the company's top priorities at all times
- Newly integrated businesses and functions are absorbed smoothly and successfully
- Your team of Business Partners is high-performing, well-regarded, and growing in influence
What You'll Bring
- 10+ years of experience in enterprise program management, transformation, or strategy execution pharmaceutical or healthcare experience is a strong plus
- A track record of leading governance or operating functions, not just delivering individual projects
- Experience building and leading teams of senior, high-caliber professionals
- Comfort operating at the senior leadership level as a trusted advisor
- Familiarity with structured problem-solving approaches such as A3 thinking or Lean methodology
- Sharp written and verbal communication you can translate complexity into clarity for any audience

Why Azurity
You will have direct visibility with senior leadership, a genuine mandate to build a function from the ground up, and the opportunity to shape how a growing pharmaceutical company operates not only where it is headed, but how it gets there. You will work alongside leaders who care as much about how decisions are made as what decisions are made, and you will play a direct role in helping Azurity reach the patients who need us most.
