Our strengths are in cross-disciplinary product development, particularly in molecular diagnostics, protein immunoassays, and digital diagnostic technologies.\nJob Description\nWe are seeking a Project Manager/Process Engineer who will take ownership of multiple concurrent projects - driving planning, resource and progress tracking, and cross-team coordination - while bringing an engineer's eye for process optimisation and automation. As a vital member of our team, you will keep complex, multi-disciplinary projects on track from proposal through delivery, ensuring progress stays aligned with timelines, resources, and deliverables.\nThe primary function of the role is project management: building and maintaining project plans, tracking resources and milestones across projects, surfacing risks early, coordinating across disciplines, and preparing project proposals. The secondary function is process optimisation: identifying and driving improvements to how work is done - across development and operations - to raise efficiency, quality, and cost-effectiveness.\nProduct development is a supporting part of the role, though a strong working understanding of Target Product Profile (TPP) and Product Requirement Document (PRD) methodology is important, so the project develop is aligned at all time with user and clinical needs.\nCandiate will be comfortable operating in a regulated MedTech environment (e.g. ISO 13485) and communicating clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.\nRoles and Responsibilities\nProject management (primary)\nOwn and drive execution of multiple concurrent projects: build and maintain project plans, timelines, and workplans.\nTrack resources across projects - people, budget, and equipment - and coordinate allocation to keep projects appropriately staffed and on schedule.\nTrack progress against milestones, surface risks and dependencies early, and drive issues to resolution.\nCoordinate across design, engineering, assay/chemistry, quality, and other functions to ensure cohesive delivery.\nPrepare and write project proposals, covering scope, milestones, resourcing, and budget.\nReport progress, risks, and decisions clearly to project stakeholders and management.\nProcess optimisation (secondary)\nIdentify and drive improvements to processes and workflows - across development and operations - to improve efficiency, quality, and cost.\nApply structured problem-solving and process-improvement methods (e.g. root cause analysis, Lean, Six Sigma, Design of Experiments) to remove bottlenecks and reduce variability.\nStandardise and document ways of working so improvements are repeatable and sustained across projects.\nProduct development support (minor)\nApply a strong working understanding of TPP and PRD methodology to translate user and clinical needs into clear, testable requirements and hold projects to them.\nSupport the wider team in linking design and engineering decisions back to product requirements and user needs.\nKey Requirements\nProject management\nDemonstrated experience managing multiple concurrent projects through a full lifecycle, from proposal to delivery.\nStrong skills in project planning, resource management, milestone and progress tracking, and risk management.\nExperience preparing project proposals (scope, schedule, resourcing, and budget).\nProficiency with project management tools (e.g. MS Project, or equivalent).\nProject management certification is advantageous.\nProcess engineering / optimisation\nExperience identifying and driving process and workflow improvements with measurable gains in efficiency, quality, or cost.\nFamiliarity with process-improvement and problem-solving methodologies.\nStrong working understanding of TPP and PRD methodology, and how to translate needs into requirements.\nDomain and general\nBachelor's Degree or equivalent in Engineering, a life-science / biological discipline, or a related field.\n5-10 years in project management and/or process / product development, ideally in a technical, MedTech, or regulated environment.\nWorking knowledge of medical device regulations and quality systems (such as ISO 13485).\nStrong interpersonal and communication skills to bridge technical and non-technical stakeholders and summarise complex problems in simple terms.\nComfort navigating uncertain situations without clear guidelines, and adaptability to changing conditions and priorities.\nCuriosity and a proactive approach to gathering the information needed for decision-making.","description_format":"text","description_chars":4769,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":5,"management_years_min":5,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":true},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T18:36:13Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":45,"band":"ok","label":"Likely
