About the Role
The Project Manager for Early Phase (EP) serves as the strategic bridge between Parexel and our sponsors, leading teams to develop tailored solutions for clinical research programs. Based in a home-based environment with a preference for CA, CO, or TX locations, this role demands a deep understanding of business dynamics and the flexibility to make informed, independent decisions.

Beyond execution, you will manage the financial health of your projects, overseeing revenue recognition, milestone payments, and monthly pass-through invoices while maintaining strict adherence to SOPs and contract terms. This position is designed for a leader who thrives in ambiguous situations, capable of negotiating influence to achieve results and solving complex problems across virtual, cross-cultural teams.
