Chemify is revolutionising chemistry. We are creating a future where the synthesis of previously unimaginable molecules, drugs, and materials is instantly accessible. By combining AI, robotics, and the world’s largest continually expanding database of chemical programs, we are accelerating chemical discovery to improve quality of life and extend the reach of humanity.
Job Description
We are seeking an experienced Project Manager to join Chemify at a critical stage of growth. This is a high-impact role working closely with the Executive Leadership Team to translate strategic priorities into well-defined, executable projects across the company.
You will own and deliver a portfolio of company-wide and operationally focused initiatives, many of which originate directly from the executive board. These projects will span operational efficiency, platform development, cross-functional process improvement, and scaling the business.
You’ll operate as the central orchestration point for complex, multi-disciplinary delivery across software, hardware, operations, and chemistry teams. While this role does not require scientific or chemistry expertise, it does require a highly capable Project Manager who is comfortable working at executive level, driving clarity, accountability, and momentum in fast-paced, ambiguous environments.
If you thrive on bringing structure to complexity, enjoy working across diverse teams, and are motivated by helping ambitious organisations execute strategy at scale, we’d love to hear from you.
Key Responsibilities
- Own and deliver a portfolio of executive-sponsored projects, translating strategic objectives into clear scopes, plans, milestones, and outcomes
- Lead complex, cross-functional initiatives spanning Operations, Platform (Software & Hardware), Engineering, and Process
- Act as the primary coordination point between executives, project teams, and delivery owners, ensuring alignment and accountability
- Drive projects focused on improving operational efficiency, throughput, reliability, and scalability
- Partner closely with Software and Hardware teams to enable platform development, coordinating roadmaps, timelines, and dependencies
- Establish and maintain appropriate project governance, delivery cadence, and reporting structures
- Identify, manage, and mitigate risks, dependencies, and bottlenecks that could impact delivery
- Manage organisational change associated with large projects, ensuring teams are prepared and aligned
- Provide clear, concise updates on progress, risks, decisions required, and outcomes to senior stakeholders
- Continuously improve project delivery standards, contributing to the evolution of PMO processes, tools, and best practices
- Lead by influence rather than authority, fostering a culture of transparency, ownership, and execution excellence
