Project Manager

Project Manager - Manufacturing (Medical Device / NPI Focus)

Providence, RI | Onsite

We're partnering with a vertically integrated medical device contract manufacturer supporting product design through full-scale production of finished devices. This environment is fast-paced, customer-driven, and highly regulated-serving leading MedTech, diagnostics, and drug delivery companies.

This role is focused specifically on manufacturing and NPI-driven projects within a regulated environment , where coordination, execution, and attention to detail directly impact product quality and customer success.

What You'll Be Responsible For

• Lead new product introduction (NPI) and manufacturing transfer projects from kickoff through production
• Build and manage detailed project plans using tools such as Microsoft Project , ensuring alignment across timelines, resources, and deliverables
• Serve as a key point of contact for internal stakeholders and customers throughout the project lifecycle
• Coordinate cross-functional teams across engineering, quality, and operations to ensure project requirements are met
• Drive execution around IQ/OQ/PQ, validation activities, and regulatory documentation
• Monitor project progress and performance, proactively identifying risks and implementing mitigation strategies
• Ensure projects are delivered on time, within scope, and within budget while meeting quality and regulatory requirements
• Prepare and maintain project documentation tied to validation, customer requirements, and regulatory standards
• Facilitate regular project meetings to communicate updates, address challenges, and maintain alignment

What This Role Requires

• Experience managing projects in a regulated manufacturing environment (medical device strongly preferred)
• Strong understanding of manufacturing processes (machining, molding, assembly, or similar)
• Hands-on exposure to NPI, process development, or manufacturing transfer work
• Ability to work cross-functionally and stay close to the floor-not just manage timelines
• Comfortable operating in a customer-facing, contract manufacturing environment
• Strong organizational, communication, and documentation skills

Preferred (But Not Required)

• PMP certification
• Experience with ISO 13485 / FDA-regulated environments
• Background in Lean Manufacturing / Six Sigma or structured problem solving

Why This Role Stands Out

This is a high-impact position inside a growing contract manufacturing environment where project management is directly tied to customer delivery, product quality, and operational performance .

You won't just be tracking timelines-you'll be helping bring complex medical products from concept into stable production.
