What you’ll do

• Coordinate project schedules, track deliverables, arrange cross-functional meetings, and share status updates through meeting notes and Confluence.
• Process contracts, coordinate signatures, and set up product records in internal systems in partnership with the royalty team.
• Coordinate author, subject-matter expert, and vendor setup in the payment portal.
• Process invoices and follow up with contractors and Accounts Payable to help ensure timely payment.
• Track spending against budget line items using spreadsheets and in coordination with the team.
• Collaborate with fellow coordinators to create, review, and update standard operating procedures (SOPs), and support their adoption.
• Create and maintain product records, including key product identifiers, pricing, contracts, and availability across sales channels.
• Maintain tracking spreadsheets and coordinate assessment reviews and updates with outside vendors.
• Participate in editorial meetings, coordinate group schedules, and follow up on action items.
• Support research initiatives and annual priorities, including surveys, interviews, participant communications, honoraria, research notes, and results analysis.

What you’ll bring

• Bachelor’s degree.
• Understanding of general project management practices, tasks, and tools.
• Strong Excel skills; familiarity with formulas, functions, and pivot tables is preferred.
• Analytical skills and the ability to make sound, data-informed decisions.
• Strong organization and time-management skills, with the ability to manage changing priorities and meet deadlines.
• Clear, professional communication skills and the judgment to choose an appropriate message, method, and timing.
• Attention to detail, integrity, and a commitment to accurate, high-quality work.
• The ability to work independently, ask questions when needed, take ownership of commitments, and respond constructively to feedback.
• A collaborative, proactive approach to problem-solving and process improvement.
• Interest in medical education and medical practice publishing is highly preferred.
