Programme Manager - Medical Device Development

Newton Colmore is working with a leading medical devices company based in Cambridge and we are assisting them in their search for a R&D programme manager.

This exciting new role will give the programme manager an opportunity to help shape the company's research programmes, from initial concept, through to manufacturing and beyond. You will be leading a team of engineers and scientists that work on a technology that is at the intersection of electronics, mechanical engineering, software engineering, and science.

You will be taking programmatic lead on a variety of different challenges; from understanding the commercial aspects of the technology and scoping markets, through to managing multiple stakeholders and suppliers, seamlessly weaving together different teams and companies on highly complex engineering projects.

To be considered for this exciting role you will need to have significant experience with leading research projects and programmes, coupled with strong academics and fundamentals. Familiarity with medical devices would be a big plus, but we are open to people with other sector knowledge, such as deep tech, where you have been working on high impact technology.

The company are offering tailored packages and monetary bonuses plans, with a good pension scheme and a variety of other benefits.
