Strategic Projects Manager

AVAYL is a fast-growing, VC-backed startup transforming Medical Affairs in the life sciences industry through AI-powered solutions.

Every day, healthcare professionals and patients reach out to life science companies seeking critical medical information; often highly specialized, not publicly available, or difficult to contextualize for a specific patient case.

Traditionally, generating scientifically profound, regulatory-compliant responses can take weeks.

AVAYL’s AI-driven capabilities significantly accelerate this process without compromising scientific rigor or compliance standards.

As a result, we empower healthcare professionals with high-quality, evidence-based information on the very same day, helping them make better-informed treatment decisions for their patients.

You should join AVAYL if you

• Are deeply purpose-driven and motivated by meaningful impact
• Thrive in fast-changing environments and adapt quickly to new challenges
• Hold yourself to exceptionally high quality standards and care about precision
• Want to see tangible results from your work in a short period of time
• Are excited by the growth opportunity of a lifetime in a high-velocity startup

AVAYL may not be the right fit if you

• Prefer slow-paced or highly structured environments
• Struggle with change or ambiguity
• Compromise on quality when under pressure
• Are uncomfortable working with urgency and sustained intensity
• Are not ready to go the extra mile to build something exceptional from the ground up

At AVAYL, we are building the future of Medical Affairs—fast, responsibly, and with impact.

We are looking for a talented Strategic Projects Manager to drive projects with our clients including top 10 Pharma companies worldwide.

Role Overview

This role is ideal for someone with strong experience in stakeholder management, executive communication, and project management who is excited to join a rapidly growing organization.

We are looking for someone who also brings experience supporting technology implementations, digital transformations, or similar change initiatives, and is comfortable working at the intersection of business and technology.

It requires balancing hands‑on execution of day‑to‑day operations with the development of scalable processes and solutions that enable us to serve our clients in a modern, AI‑driven environment.

For example, you might manage closely with the CEO key customer relationships and project delivery while simultaneously partnering with the technology team to automate and scale customer‑facing processes.

We are looking for a builder someone who enjoys creating structure from scratch, establishing new processes, and shaping how things are done as the company grows.

If you prefer optimizing already well‑established processes rather than building them from the ground up, this role is likely not the right fit.
