• Collaborate with cross-functional stakeholders-including PMO, R&D, Product Development, and integration teams-to identify risks and implement material action plans.

• Operate confidently in the "grey space"-navigating ambiguity, conflicting priorities, and evolving requirements to maintain momentum and alignment.

• Act as a technical liaison, leveraging your subject matter expertise to influence design for manufacturability, process optimization, and supply chain readiness.

• Build and deepen knowledge of critical components and supplier capabilities, especially those newly integrated through acquisition.

• Lead and execute supplier management and onboarding initiatives, including risk mitigation, contingency planning, and project scheduling.

• Proactively identify and resolve roadblocks, maintain alignment with stakeholders, and keep integration programs on track.

• Support resource planning and anticipate project requirement changes as product lines evolve or merge.

• Drive production readiness for new components and cost efficiency across both existing and newly acquired supply chains.

• Partner with procurement and integration teams to ensure timely material availability and supplier onboarding.

• Promote continuous improvement across the Material Program Management (MPM) function to support the full product lifecycle-including newly transitioned products.

What We're Looking For:
Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in an engineering discipline with 5+ years of relevant experience.

• Proven ability to manage complex, multi-stakeholder & cross-functional projects across distributed or newly integrated team

Preferred Qualifications:

• Minimum 3 years of experience in the medical device industry.

• Demonstrated ability to thrive in the grey space-navigating ambiguity with clarity, confidence, and sound judgment.

• Experience in Material Program management for high speed NPDs

• Experience supporting post-merger integration or working in dynamic, evolving environments.

• Strong conflict resolution and change management capabilities.

• Influential leadership skills with a track record of driving alignment and results.
