Project Manager Role & Responsibilities

Overview

• The goal of the Consumer Alliance Partnership is to educate physicians and consumers on the importance and benefits of incorporating vitamins and supplements into their daily lives and to position Nature Made as the most credible brand in the category.
• Client service is critical in all aspects of this role. The project manager (PM), while placed in-house at Pharmavite, it is key to remember that Pharmavite is a client and must be serviced as one would a client in all communications and interactions. In addition, the AAFP relationship should be managed in the same manner, always addressing them as if they were a client. This level of service is the foundation of the role.

Role:

• The PM is the primary point of contact for communications between Pharmavite and the AAFP. The PM works closely with Marcus Ginnaty of Porter Novelli, copying him on all communications so as to ensure there are no gaps in Porter Novelli’s servicing of the partnership.
• The PM is also the internal “face” of the FamilyDoctor.org Consumer Alliance Partnership program and—along with Carolyn Sabatini—is responsible for the development and execution of the program, as well as frequently communicating the successes of the program to key internal stakeholders. As the “face” of the partnership, the PM must demonstrate a professional level of knowledge of the role and value of the partnership when discussing with the internal Pharmavite team.

• Initiate job request forms for all projects at Pharmavite and/or Porter Novelli that contain the FamilyDoctor.org logo or reference the partnership.
• Handle all elements of this approval process (e.g., keeping deadlines in check, needed revisions or changes, final approval communicated to all)
• Keep all paperwork filed appropriately on Pharmavite’s I Drive
• Includes approval paperwork, art work and all documents received from Pharmavite, Porter Novelli and AAFP

·       Develop and maintain relationships with key Pharmavite team members across several departments:

o   Marketing
