About Amanda Benjamin
My early career was spent working as a bench scientist in both in vitro and in vivo settings across various therapeutic areas, including preclinical safety assessment in accordance with GLP standards. This experience has given me a comprehensive understanding of drug discovery, from target identification to IMPD/IND submission. With a solid foundation in pharmacology and drug discovery, my approach is underpinned by robust problem-solving capabilities.More recently I have utilised my passion for operational effectiveness and stakeholder management by holding a variety of roles in project management & strategic alliance management. Organisations I have worked for have benefitted from my commitment to operational excellence, demonstrated through a proven track record of issue resolution and process optimisation. As a PMP-certified professional, I've embraced the challenge of harmonising complex cross-cultural collaborations, ensuring stakeholder satisfaction and advancing delivery. I specialise in multitasking and I enjoy roles with a variety of challenges, especially if there are stakeholders to influence and processes to streamline! I am excited by opportunities where I can utilise my excellent influencing and communication skills and to help support companies to deliver as efficiently as possible.Delighted to now be working as part of the Pharmaron family, as Senior Director Integration Partnerships, where I support Pharmaron's Discovery, Preclinical and CMC business, working to build strong relationships with clients in UK and Europe.
