Managing cross-functional project teams – Including scientists, QA, regulatory, clinical operations, and external vendors or collaborators.
Tracking project timelines, deliverables, and budgets – Using tools like MS Project, Smartsheet, or Monday.com to maintain transparency and alignment.
Facilitating stakeholder communication – Ensuring regular updates, managing expectations, and reporting to executive leadership.
Supporting documentation and compliance – Maintaining audit-ready records, protocols, and change control logs across the project lifecycle.
Mitigating risk and handling change requests – Proactively identifying potential delays or scope shifts and responding with solutions.

Bathgate
Bathgate is a small town in West Lothian, Scotland situated 18 miles from Edinburgh, 23 miles from Glasgow and 9 miles from Livingston, benefitting from its proximity to the numerous electronics and hi-tech companies based in the “Silicon Glen”. Bathgate's origins date back to the 1100s. In 1328 Robert the Bruce gave the Royal Castle in Bathgate to his daughter Marjorie on her marriage to Walter, the High Steward of Scotland which was the start of the Stewart dynasty that ruled Scotland until 1689. The town has experienced repeated periods of growth and decline throughout its history including the Glenmavis Distillery, steelworks, coalmining, the world's first oil refinery and in more recent times, the motor and electronics industries. On the last Saturday in May Bathgate hosts annual the West Lothian Highland Games, it also features in the chorus of the Proclaimers' song "Letter from America."
