Project Manager – Public Procurement & Grants

What you'll do

We offer an excellent opportunity to join the Operations team at a fast-growing healthcare company. Powerful Medical has secured a €40 million IPCEI grant, a €2.5 million EIC Accelerator grant, and a €1 million VAIA grant in the last 3 years, and we continue to expand our grant portfolio to fuel the next phase of growth.

Reporting to the Operations Lead and working closely with the executive team, you will own the public procurement agenda for our grant-funded projects and drive their day-to-day implementation. If you are looking for a hands-on role where you will be trusted to take ownership from day one and see the direct impact of your work, this is the right role for you.

Your role

• Own the public procurement agenda for our grant-funded projects: plan upcoming tenders, prepare documentation, and run the procedures from tender launch to contract signature with the support of legal counsels
• Support the implementation of grant projects by tracking milestones, deliverables, and budgets, and preparing periodic reports for funding authorities
• Support the preparation of new project proposals by identifying suitable funding calls, contributing to proposal writing, and coordinating inputs from internal teams
• Act as the coordination point between internal teams (finance, legal, engineering, medical) and external stakeholders (advisors, funding agencies, consortium partners)
• Support the broader operations agenda, including process improvements, internal tooling, and cross-functional projects

What you need

• 3+ years of experience in grant management, public procurement, or consulting
• Experience with public procurement is a strong advantage, but the agenda can also be learned. You'll work side by side with specialized external procurement lawyers on a multi-million-euro tender portfolio, so what we need from you is the drive to absorb the topic fast and take ownership of it
• Hands-on experience with the management of publicly funded projects
• A true generalist and multitasker who thrives on running several workstreams in parallel without dropping the ball
• A genuinely fast learner: structured, detail-oriented, and comfortable with modern AI tools. You absorb new domains quickly and are expected to use the best available tooling to work smarter
• Exceptional communication skills, both written and spoken, in Slovak and English
• Bonus points for a background in consulting or experience in fast-growing organizations
