As a Senior R&D Project Manager, you will lead strategic and complex medical device development projects across the full product lifecycle. Working within a matrix organization, you will bring together experts from R&D, Quality, Regulatory Affairs, Clinical, Operations, and Commercial functions to successfully deliver innovative solutions that create value for patients, customers, and Medela.
