Case Study: a leading biotechnology firm builds a CMC Project Management team with Pacific International

Leading Biotechnology Firm - Customer Case Study

The leading biotechnology firm, a company focused on rare diseases and gene therapy, engaged Pacific International to build a new CMC Project Management function. The challenge was to find and hire three Director-level leaders with specialized scientific and project management skills, a process complicated by an internal restructuring and the hiring manager being stranded abroad during the pandemic.

Pacific International leveraged its strong network in the CMC and gene therapy space to provide targeted candidate referrals. They utilized a bespoke video recording technology and an agile search model to overcome geographical challenges. The solution was successful, resulting in the hire of three qualified female leaders and establishing a foundation for a continued partnership, with Pacific International now supporting searches in other departments.
