Current vacancies

Project Coordinator

The main focus of this role is to provide project and administrative support to our international workgroups (Workstreams and Task Forces, listed below), enabling them to successfully deliver complex academic and scientific workplans, surveys, webinars and academic papers:

• Innovative Drug Development Initiative (IDDI)
• Specialty Task Forces
• Regional Task Forces

Most of the Coordinator’s time is spent supporting our IDDI Workstreams. These usually have two Co-Chairs, one from academia or clinical practice and the other from industry. The groups vary in size from just a handful of people to 20+. Some groups hold regular formal monthly meetings, and others meet ad hoc and infrequently; some are very self-sufficient, and others rely strongly on the Project Coordinator for support. An IDDI Leadership Team of four key global PH players provides guidance and coordination, and the Project Coordinator will work closely with this team and provide support for their meetings.

Our Specialty and Regional Task Forces work in a similar way to the IDDI Workstreams and have similar professional memberships, although not always including pharma partners. Some Task Forces are extremely active, others less so, but all are driven by global leaders in the field of PH.

We are seeking someone who will bring energy, skills and commitment to this exciting role, and in return, we want you to feel valued and engaged.

We offer flexible working, a positive learning culture and opportunities for you to learn and grow in your role, including opportunities for international travel.

We are a diverse and inclusive global organisation. We value lived experience, and we’re genuinely open-minded about your background. If you think you have what it takes to make a real success of the role, we’d love to hear from you. If you have any questions or would like an informal chat about the role, please feel free to contact our CEO Karen Osborn at ko@pvrinstitute.org.

To apply for this role

Please send your CV and statement, together with the Equalities Monitoring Form to Katie Corris at kc@pvrinstitute.org by 09:00 on Friday 28 March 2025. 

Equalities Monitoring form

Applications will be judged against the criteria set out in the Person Specification, so please ensure that you reference these clearly in your supporting statement, and while we know that everyone uses AI in situations like this, we’d love to hear your own authentic voice! In-person interviews are scheduled for Thursday 3 April 2025 at our London office, so please hold this date in your diary.

We look forward to hearing from you!
