About the role

This is not a role for someone who simply wants to maintain what is already in place. It is an opportunity for an experienced builder to bring together Product Management, R&D, Clinical Evaluation, Manufacturing, Global Supply Chain, and Quality into one connected, high-performing global organization.

Responsibilities

• Own the end-to-end idea-to-stock operating model, from product strategy and development through manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and product availability.
• Translate business priorities into executable plans, strengthen functional leadership, and create the systems and cadence that allow teams to operate as one organization.
• Develop strong Directors, clarify ownership and decision rights, establish practical processes and measures, and ensure the organization is structured to scale.
• Lead organizational leadership and development, including building a capable Director-level structure with clear ownership, reporting lines, accountability, and decision rights.
• Create a culture of ownership, collaboration, transparency, and constructive accountability.
• Stay close enough to the work to understand issues, remove barriers, and make informed decisions.
• Lead annual and long-range operational planning in partnership with the CEO, Finance, Commercial, and other leadership functions.
• Identify and communicate risks, constraints, and trade-offs early.
• Set direction for the leaders of each function and hold ultimate accountability for outcomes across: Product Management, Research & Development, Clinical Evaluation, Manufacturing, Global Supply Chain, and Quality.

Requirements

• Significant progressive leadership experience across product development, operations, manufacturing, supply chain, and quality, with responsibility for multiple functions through Directors or other senior leaders.
• Proven success in a decentralized start-up, scale-up, private-equity-backed, roll-up, multi-brand, or similarly entrepreneurial organization.
• Experience building or transforming departments, organizational structures, SOPs, governance, KPIs, and operating cadences.
• Demonstrated success leading global, geographically dispersed, or multi-site teams.
• Strong financial and business acumen across budgets, resource allocation, working capital, inventory, capital investment, and business cases.
• The executive presence and communication skills to build credibility with Boards, senior leaders, technical and manufacturing teams, clinicians, customers, suppliers, and external partners.
• A bachelor’s degree in business, engineering, operations, supply chain, life sciences, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
• Experience that would be especially valuable includes medical devices, surgical products, orthopedics, implantable devices, diagnostics, life sciences, or another regulated product environment.
• Product development, design controls, quality systems, clinical evaluation, risk management, and regulated product-launch requirements.
• Integration of acquired companies, brands, portfolios, systems, or operational processes.
• ERP transformation, supply-chain planning systems, business intelligence, or operational-data improvement.
• Complex portfolio and SKU rationalization.
• Partnership with clinicians, surgeons, key opinion leaders, or clinical advisory boards.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in business, engineering, operations, supply chain, life sciences, healthcare, technology, or a related field, or equivalent relevant experience.
• An MBA or other relevant advanced degree is preferred.

Skills

• The ability to develop strong leaders.
• The ability to communicate directly.
