About the Role
We’re looking for an experienced Project Manager to lead the successful delivery of complex, cross-functional projects that span hardware, firmware, software, and customer-facing services.

You’ll play a key role in connecting engineering, product management, operations, marketing, and support teams to ensure every project meets time, quality, and budget expectations.

Working in a highly regulated, quality-driven industry, you’ll oversee projects throughout the full Product Lifecycle—from concept to launch—ensuring alignment, transparency, and accountability at every stage.


Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage end-to-end project delivery across the Product Lifecycle.
• Plan, track, and monitor project schedules, budgets, resources, milestones, and critical paths.
• Coordinate cross-functional teams (Engineering, Product, Quality, Manufacturing, Marketing, and Support) to ensure seamless handovers and timely delivery.
• Report and communicate project progress, KPIs, risks, and issues to stakeholders and leadership teams.
• Support Agile delivery, facilitating sprint planning, standups, retrospectives, and release reviews.
• Ensure project outcomes meet strategic objectives, customer needs, and compliance standards (e.g. EN standards, ADA).
• Partner with Product Management to balance scope, resources, and timelines.
• Drive continuous improvement in delivery processes, documentation, and stakeholder engagement.
• Lead post-launch reviews and capture lessons learned for future optimisation.

About You
You’re a proactive and highly organised Project Manager who thrives on managing multiple initiatives in a complex, multidisciplinary environment. You combine technical understanding with strong leadership and communication skills to bring people together and get things done.

Skills & Experience

• 10+ years’ experience in project management within technology, engineering, or product development environments (hardware + software preferred).
• Proven success managing multi-disciplinary projects across engineering, manufacturing, and customer-facing functions.
• Strong command of project management methodologies (Waterfall, Agile, or hybrid) and tools such as Jira, (url removed), Confluence, or MS Project.
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills across technical and non-technical teams.
• Experience working within regulated industries or to compliance/certification standards (desirable).
• Skilled in risk management, conflict resolution, and accountability tracking.
• Solid financial acumen – budgeting, forecasting, and cost–benefit analysis.

Qualifications 
Degree in a relevant discipline (Business, Management, Engineering, or equivalent experience)

Professional certifications such as PRINCE2 Practitioner, Agile/Scrum, MSP, or Portfolio Management are highly desirable.
