The responsibilities of the Project Coordinator role are varied. In a typical week, the majority of your time will be spent overseeing the delivery of scientific work to our clients in the healthcare sector, with responsibility for the smooth running of projects. This will include identifying and suggesting improvements to processes, as well as implementation of these changes, with the aim of enhancing quality and efficiency within the team and, where appropriate, across the wider company.

- Coordinating logistics and providing project support for both in-person and virtual events and meetings, for example congresses, symposiums and advisory boards
- Day-to-day co-ordination of the project teams and monitoring of project timelines, in collaboration with the project manager
- Scheduling meetings, recording minutes and coordinating their distribution
- Assisting the team with the development of planning tools to optimise the productivity of the team and cross-collaboration between the team and other divisions
- Supporting the accurate referencing of scientific materials, including preparing reference packs
- Screening records for relevance to research questions and extracting data from relevant publications
- Liaising with our Creative team on the development of figures and other visuals to be included in reports
- Supporting the development of client proposals and tracking those sent and responded to
- Management of project compliance, which includes completing compliance training, preparation of project compliance documentation, liaising with client compliance teams and acting as the internal point of contact for all compliance-related queries
- Liaising with external suppliers, including translation agencies, as well as digital and marketing agencies and other consultancies, to ensure smooth delivery of projects
- Ownership of tasks in our project management system to support the correct budgeting and invoicing of projects
- Supporting Analysts and Medical Writers with the write up of methods and results of projects into engaging reports and slide sets
- Reformatting of scientific documents to ensure adherence to client requirements and/or relevant submission guidelines
- Helping project teams to keep abreast of the latest potentially relevant sources of information and industry guidelines to inform their project work, and keeping all divisional resources up to date
- Organising divisional monthly meetings and other internal activities

What is the Difference Between the Project Coordinator and the Analyst/Medical Writer Roles?
Analysts, Medical Writers and Project Coordinators share a similar level of responsibilities; however the roles do differ significantly in terms of daily duties.
Analysts and Medical Writers conduct detailed analyses of scientific data to create a variety of materials that are presented to, and used by, our clients.
Whilst working on the same projects across a variety of disease areas, Project Coordinators use their scientific knowledge to provide project management support and administrative help to project teams, allowing the timely delivery of high quality work. Additionally, Project Coordinators work with senior colleagues within their division to carry out internal administrative tasks, suggesting improvements and working to maximise efficiency within their teams.
