Senior IT Business Analyst and Project Lead

Senior IT Business Analyst and Project Lead

uniQure is dedicated to bringing innovative therapies or unmet medical needs to patients. In doing so each function in uniQure is directly or indirectly responsible for the lives of patients. This responsibility should be part of our day-to-day working lives by (i) living up to high quality standards and (ii) by recognizing the sense of urgency in areas of high medical need.

Purpose of this role

The Senior Business Analyst & Project Lead will be key in the execution of our IT Business roadmap, where they will be key in the implementation of several small to medium-sized applications; for example, applications such as Building Access Management Systems, Medical Affairs, Expense Management.

This position is the unique combination of a Business Analyst, a Project Manager and a Change Facilitator.

The main need for this position is Business Analysis capability. We need you to be able to step into detailed discussions, to solve an issue, or to break through a deadlock discussion. You will be configuring systems, testing them, guiding the UATs, training Key Users, and managing migrations. You will be hands-on working on the implementation of Business Applications.

The second need is in project management capabilities, as we have several small to medium size projects to be executed, which need to adhere to our implementation approach. All relevant stakeholders need to be properly updated, and our project participants need to have formal follow-up, to ensure we are not deviating from the project goals.

The change facilitator aspect is needed in any transformation or change. And these implementations require quite some change in our organization. Approaching this methodically is an important step in achieving the desired change, as such understanding the methodologies, and the experience with this, is key for this role.

If the Getting Things Done statement is something you live by, this is the role for you!

Overall, any experience with GxP, GAMP5 related implementations or pharmaceutical experience is much appreciated, and would help you to understand the context faster.
