Medical Devices Project Leader - Cambridge

We are seeking a dynamic and driven Project Leader to join our innovative medical devices team based in Cambridge. This is a unique opportunity to lead cutting-edge development projects that directly impact patient care and improve lives. You'll be at the heart of a multidisciplinary environment, guiding cross-functional teams through the full product lifecycle-from concept to commercialisation.

The ideal candidate will bring proven experience in project leadership within the medical technology or life sciences sector, with a strong grasp of regulatory pathways and product development processes. You'll be comfortable navigating complex technical challenges, managing timelines and budgets, and communicating effectively with stakeholders at all levels.

A strong academic foundation is essential. We're looking for someone with a degree in a discipline that naturally leads into medical device design-mechanical engineering, electronics engineering, biomedical engineering, or a closely related field. Your technical background will allow you to engage meaningfully with design teams and contribute to the development of robust, compliant, and innovative solutions.

Mentorship is a key part of this role. We believe in nurturing talent and fostering growth, and you'll be expected to support and guide junior members of staff, helping them develop both technically and professionally. Your ability to lead by example and share knowledge will be instrumental in building a high-performing, collaborative team culture.

What sets you apart is not just your professional expertise, but your mindset. We value individuals who approach problems with curiosity and creativity. If you have a technical hobby-whether it's tinkering with electronics, building software, or engineering side projects-that demonstrates your passion for problem solving, we see that as a distinct advantage.

In return, you'll be rewarded with an excellent starting salary, a comprehensive pension scheme, performance-related bonuses, and access to ongoing career development and skills training. This is a role where your growth is taken seriously, and your contributions are genuinely valued.

For more information, please contact Andrew Welsh, Director of Medical Devices, Biotech and Drug Discovery Recruitment at Newton Colmore, on (phone number removed). Alternatively, submit your application and a member of our team will be in touch. Please note that without a CV, we can only provide limited information
