Join a team united by a passion for improving patients’ lives. We believe our greatest strength comes from the diverse talents, experiences, and ideas that drive innovation and success.
As a team, we foster innovation in all forms as we collectively strive to discover and develop new approaches to treating severe rare diseases.
At our core, we dive deep into the science of severe rare diseases, holding ourselves to the highest scientific standards and best practices to bring those discoveries through approval and to patients in need.
The patients we serve are very ill. We will not waver in our commitment to them, their families and their healthcare providers.
Drug development takes a village, and we know we cannot succeed unless our entire team and partners join together to bring therapies from discovery into patients’ hands.
We value diversity of professions, backgrounds and cultures, understanding that each of us has a respected insight and perspective on our work and our vision.
Our team is built on agility and flexibility, adjusting to opportunities and needs of the business quickly and comfortably.

We are seeking an experienced Project Manager, R&D, to be based in our Jersey City, NJ office. Reporting to the Director, Program Management, this role will support the planning and operational execution of R&D programs and cross-functional initiatives, with a strong emphasis on outsourced preclinical development activities. The position will help ensure projects, studies, and vendor-supported activities are delivered efficiently, compliantly, and in alignment with program, regulatory, and corporate objectives defined by cross-functional leaders.
Position Summary:
The Project Manager, R&D is responsible for supporting the planning, coordination, execution, and oversight of R&D projects and operational activities that advance SCYNEXIS’ development programs. The primary focus of the role will be outsourced preclinical studies, including pharmacology, toxicology, DMPK/ADME, and bioanalysis activities; however, the position may also support broader project management responsibilities across R&D as business needs evolve. This role helps scope, contract, schedule, track, and complete studies and project deliverables on time, within budget, and in accordance with quality, regulatory, and compliance requirements. The position serves as an operational interface between internal functional teams and external CROs, laboratories, consultants, and service providers, driving day-to-day execution, issue resolution, and progress across multiple concurrent development activities.
This is a project management and operations-focused role rather than a scientific research position. It requires strong project planning, vendor oversight, cross-functional coordination, budget management, stakeholder communication, and organizational skills, with demonstrated ability to support preclinical operations and adapt to additional R&D project management needs.
