Life Sciences Project Analyst
The Opportunity:
As a life science project management specialist, you know the complexities of supporting a project from concept to completion. Many programs require a significant investment of limited resources, and it’s imperative to keep the project on a productive path. That’s why we need you—a life science project management specialist who can apply scientific thinking to project planning, coordination, and execution.
On our team, you’ll use your problem-solving skills to support scientific and IT-focused projects. You’ll collaborate with stakeholders and cross-functional team members to assess project requirements and define priorities and milestones. Gather, analyze, and translate scientific and operational requirements into product capabilities through creation of user stories and acceptance criteria. Partner closely with product managers, enterprise architects, and engineering teams to ensure project deliverables are mission-aligned, scalable, and user-centered. Contribute to tactical planning using tools like Jira and work closely with team members to keep projects on track and resolve operational challenges. Leverage your experience with synthesizing complex information to support creation of clear documentation, reports, and presentations, as well as scientific and public health materials for project customers and users. Alongside these responsibilities, you will proactively scan for process gaps, inefficiencies, and opportunities to elevate team performance. You’ll take initiative to design and implement improvements that streamline workflows, strengthen coordination, and enhance project outcomes. As a forward-thinking, go-getter contributor, you will independently identify ways to move the needle on complex scientific and IT focused initiatives, bringing a continuous improvement mindset that drives innovation and strengthens the impact of our work.
The real impact of project management comes from communication to ensure the program achieves its goals and meets our quality standards. At Booz Allen, we recognize that we must continuously grow as a team to bring the best support to our clients, so here you’ll have all the resources to succeed. This is a chance to influence a meaningful mission while learning how to develop and maintain program strategy. This position is located in Atlanta, GA or Washington, DC.
