Balance technical, regulatory and commercial challenges in this fulfilling role

This highly regraded Cambridge-based medical technologies company is seeking a proven engineering leader to help guide high-value development programmes from concept through to transfer to manufacture. Your leadership will accelerate development timelines, manage risk and deliver results that tangibly improve patient outcomes.

Your work will primarily revolve around drug delivery systems from injectables and infusion pumps to microcatheters and active implants. Not only overseeing development but having a wider strategic and commercial focus, able to provide direction for the company and spot commercial opportunities as they arise. You will also be a leader within the company, empowering those around you and providing mentorship and coaching where appropriate.

Requirements:

* Proven track record of leading complex development programmes for medical devices, ideally in drug delivery.

* Strong hands-on engineering background in the medical sector encompassing mechanical and systems engineering from initial concept through to manufacture.

* Good general understanding of the drug delivery market including regulatory requirements and commercial demands.

This role will require international travel for meetings with highly placed clients and investors as well as with manufacturing and production partners. Strong communication skills are a must.

You will be working with a world class team both on the technical and commercial front. Their expertise has driven this company to the prestigious position it now holds. You will have a great opportunity to learn from this as well as put your own stamp on the company moving forward. Core remunerations are good with a strong salary, generous pension scheme and private medical insurance. There’s also a comprehensive relocation package available for those moving to the Cambridge area.
