IT Project Manager / Senior Business Analyst

About The Role

At Newpharma, we are looking for a hands-on IT Project Manager / Senior Business Analyst to support complex, transversal initiatives across our organization.

This role is strongly analysis-driven, complemented by project coordination responsibilities. You will mainly work on sub-projects embedded in existing team roadmaps, ensuring that cross-team deliveries are coherent, production-ready, and sustainable.

You will operate in an environment where multiple systems, interfaces, and dependencies coexist, requiring rigor, pragmatism, and a strong solution-oriented mindset. This is not a “pure delivery” or “feature factory” role, but a position for someone who enjoys deep analysis, structuring complexity, and making things work end-to-end.

Your mission – Business Analysis & Solution Design

• Dive deep into complex, cross-functional problems involving multiple systems and data flows
• Analyze business needs and translate them into clear, structured, and actionable specifications
• Work closely with architects, developers, and stakeholders to ensure feasible, coherent, and robust solutions
• Identify impacts, dependencies, risks, and inconsistencies across systems
• Ensure solutions are scalable, maintainable, and aligned with long-term company growth
• Communicate clearly on content, progress, risks, and decisions to all relevant stakeholders, adapting the level of detail and perspective as needed

Project & Sub-project Coordination

• Coordinate transversal sub-projects integrated into existing team roadmaps
• Align stakeholders, timelines, and dependencies across teams
• Monitor progress, anticipate issues, and ensure deliverables are usable in production
• Ensure overall consistency between parallel initiatives and ongoing projects
• Contribute to delivery quality through structure, anticipation, and coordination

Continuous Improvement & Innovation

• Proactively identify opportunities to simplify, stabilize, and improve existing processes
• Balance creativity with pragmatism, within existing technical and organizational constraints
• Stay attentive to emerging practices and tools (including AI-based tools) that can improve efficiency and quality of analysis

What We Are Looking For – Mindset & Soft Skills

• Hands-on, pragmatic, and not afraid to “roll up your sleeves”
• Comfortable with ambiguity, complexity, and imperfect environments
• Strong analytical rigor and attention to detail
• Solution-oriented, with a long-term vision
• Able to structure complex topics and communicate clearly with a wide range of stakeholders
• Curious, proactive, and eager to continuously improve how things work

Experience & background

• Minimum 5 years of experience in roles such as Business Analyst, IT / Functional Analyst, IT Project Manager, Product Owner or Software Developer with strong analysis exposure
• Solid understanding of Agile / Scrum development fundamentals
• Ability to assume a Product Owner role on one’s scope, including backlog structuring and prioritization, when required
• Proven experience in transversal, multi-system environments
• Solid understanding of IT fundamentals, system integrations, and data flows
• Hands-on experience with databases and/or development languages is required (formal education in IT is a plus, but not mandatory if compensated by experience)
• Interest in using modern tools, including AI-based solutions, to improve personal and team efficiency is considered an asset

Languages

• Fluent in English
• Fluency in French is required for this position
