Parallel Bio Corporate Program Manager at Parallel Bio to manage and deliver the company's highest-priority programs and initiatives. Acts as a liaison between executive team and functions to translate strategy into execution.
Responsibilities
We are looking for a Corporate Program Manager to steward the company's most important programs and initiatives and see them through.
The leverage here is high. You sit close to the executive team and the functions at once, translating between strategy and execution and bringing inputs from across the company into a cohesive, measurable plan.
The work covers the initiatives that matter most at any given time, along with the planning artifacts that represent them: company and function roadmaps, OKRs, and the materials that go to investors and to the team. That means holding a single source of truth, keeping terminology and timelines consistent across every artifact, working with function owners for the pieces only they can deliver, and getting the whole thing finished against a date that does not move.
Program Leadership
Steward the company's highest-priority initiatives, holding scope, owners and timelines from first definition through to delivery.
Support the Executive Team on critical initiatives and strategic opportunities, with real-time visibility into where everything stands.
Coordinate cross-functional initiatives spanning Science, Platform, Technology and the Executive Team, with priorities and dependencies visible to everyone who needs them.
Work in lockstep with Finance and Operations, ensuring resourcing and timelines reflect what the budget and the operating constraints actually support.
Surface risks, remove obstacles, and resolve dependencies.
Roadmaps and Planning Artifacts
Steward the company and function roadmaps from first draft through to the version the organization runs on.
Maintain one canonical version of each artifact, in a known location, and keep terminology, timelines and numbers consistent across every roadmap, deck and planning document.
Experience: 5+ years supporting senior leadership or operations, including at least two startups or high-growth teams in biotech, deep tech, or science-driven environments.
Program Ownership: You have stewarded high-stakes programs and the materials that represent them as the single accountable person for the process.
Distributed Teams: You have run programs across time zones and know how to keep momentum across them.
Narrative Sense: You can tell when a document does not hang together and fix it.
Consolidation Experience: You have consolidated teams onto a single project management system before, and you know that the hard part is adoption rather than data transfer.
Stack Fluency: Deep working knowledge of modern issue tracking and project management systems, plus Notion for documentation and dashboards and Slack for automation and integrations.
Leverage: You use automation and language models as a matter of course, and expect the mechanical parts of coordination to be handled that way rather than by hand.
Structured Thinking: You bring clarity and order, breaking large goals into trackable milestones.
Execution Mindset: Planning is the starting point. The measure is whether deliverables land.
Clear Communication: You write and speak with influence, creating alignment without micromanagement.
Start-up Agility: Comfortable with ambiguity, making fast, pragmatic decisions and keeping others moving.
