Project Manager (Pharma)

GENIXUS began in 2019 shortly after our founder visited the ICU with his two-week-old daughter and observed injections being administered with hand-written syringes. It seemed out of place in modern medicine. How, for instance, did they track the syringe? How could they be sure what was in it? And could quality be maintained? From his long experience in pharmaceutical and vaccine manufacturing, he knew there had to be a better way.

The idea for GENIXUS was born: create a platform that brings together the brightest minds and latest innovations to reinvent how acute and critical care medicines are manufactured and delivered. At GENIXUS, we’re on a mission to elevate the business of acute and critical care medicines. Delivering innovative solutions which allow healthcare providers to focus on what really matters – protecting and improving lives.

GENIXUS brings together a team with deep experience and a passion for patient care to focus on transforming acute and critical care medicines. We'd love for you to join us!
