About BioPhorum ATMP

BioPhorum's Advanced Therapy Medicinal Products (ATMP) Phorum supports organisations developing, manufacturing and testing cell, gene and RNA therapies and vaccines. Bringing together more than 600 participants across 24 workstreams and over 30 member organisations, the Phorum creates a collaborative environment where industry experts can tackle shared challenges and develop practical solutions.

From accelerating development and improving commercial manufacturing processes to strengthening analytical standards and navigating regulatory challenges, our members work together to improve the way advanced therapies are developed, controlled and manufactured.

Through dedicated workstreams, members share best practice, benchmark performance, develop industry guidance and tools, and engage with regulatory and standards organisations. The ultimate goal is to encourage greater alignment, consistency and efficiency across the industry, helping advanced therapies progress towards patients.

As Global Change Facilitator, you will play a central role in this collaboration. You will guide subject matter experts through complex discussions, help turn scientific and technical challenges into clearly defined projects, and ensure that collective expertise translates into valuable, tangible outcomes.

What will you be doing?

• Lead and facilitate workstreams: Guide a portfolio of collaborative initiatives, helping members define priorities, agree objectives and deliver outcomes aligned with BioPhorum's strategy and governance.
• Bring experts together: Create engaging, inclusive meetings that encourage open discussion, draw out expertise and build strong working relationships across member organisations.
• Drive projects forward: Apply your project management skills to establish clear deliverables, manage timelines, monitor progress and keep workstreams focused on achieving their objectives.
• Turn complexity into clarity: Bring together complex scientific, technical and regulatory information and translate it into clear, accessible outputs that support industry-wide understanding and change.
• Deliver meaningful outputs: Work with members to develop publications, industry guidance, proof of concepts, business cases, benchmarking tools and conference presentations that demonstrate real value.
• Create impactful events: Collaborate with Phorum colleagues and the events team to plan and facilitate engaging virtual and in-person meetings, workshops and industry events.
• Build member engagement: Monitor participation, identify emerging challenges and work with colleagues to maintain momentum, strengthen relationships and support member satisfaction.
• Champion collaboration and continuous improvement: Share member insights, identify opportunities to demonstrate the value of BioPhorum's work and contribute to the ongoing development of our collaborative approach.
  

Bring your scientific knowledge and people skills together

We are looking for someone who understands science and enjoys bringing people together to solve complex problems. You will be comfortable working with highly knowledgeable experts, navigating technical discussions and turning different perspectives into practical action.

A scientific education or background is essential for this role. Given the technical complexity of advanced therapies, you will need a solid understanding of the scientific environment to engage credibly with subject matter experts and grasp the challenges being discussed. Experience working within the ATMP industry, particularly in cell therapy, gene therapy, RNA therapeutics, advanced therapy development or manufacturing, would be highly advantageous.

You do not need to be the technical expert in every discussion. However, you should have the scientific grounding, curiosity and confidence to understand complex topics, ask insightful questions and help experts move towards a shared outcome.

You will bring:

• A degree in a relevant scientific discipline, or an equivalent scientific education and background that enables you to engage confidently with complex life sciences topics.
• Ideally, experience within the advanced therapies industry, such as cell or gene therapy, RNA therapeutics, ATMP development, manufacturing, testing or related regulatory environments.
• Experience managing projects, programmes or change initiatives, ideally within life sciences, pharmaceuticals, biotechnology, CDMOs or related consulting environments.
• Strong stakeholder management skills, with the ability to influence, build trust, adapt your communication style and bring diverse groups of people on a journey.
• A collaborative mindset and a genuine enjoyment of facilitating constructive discussions, drawing out information and helping groups reach decisions.
• The ability to synthesise complex information and communicate it clearly to different audiences.
• Excellent organisation and planning skills, with the ability to manage multiple workstreams, competing priorities and agreed deadlines.
• Sound judgement, initiative and a bias towards action, combined with the flexibility to adapt as priorities and discussions evolve.
• A continuous improvement mindset and the ability to work effectively with colleagues and stakeholders in a remote, fast-paced and growing organisation.

Help shape what comes next

If you are scientifically minded, thrive on collaboration and enjoy turning complex challenges into practical solutions, this is an opportunity to use your expertise in a role with a wider industry impact.

At BioPhorum, you will work alongside leading experts and organisations across the global biopharmaceutical sector, helping to develop shared approaches to the challenges shaping advanced therapies.

Location: Home-based, with occasional travel required. You must be able to commit to at least two UK trips and two international trips each year to support our annual events programme.
