Summary
R&D Project Management — leading the people and processes that plan, schedule, resource, and deliver individual research and development projects (defining scope/goals/deliverables, managing timelines, dependencies, budgets, and risks, and coordinating cross-functional scientist/engineer teams). Distinct from R&D Program Management (multi-project chartering, benefits realization, portfolio alignment) and from R&D Portfolio Management (cross-program prioritization and capacity/risk trade-offs); this focus owns delivery at the project and multi-project team level, not enterprise portfolio strategy.
This level — M3 M3 — Senior Manager
Leads multiple teams or a sub-function; sets goals and owns cross-team execution.
