Sr. Project Manager, R&D
About the role
It's Time to Join Stryker! Are you a project leader who thrives in complex, fast-moving environments where the path forward is not always predefined? As a Senior Project Manager, R&D, you will lead highly visible, cross-functional projects supporting digital health, connected devices, and software delivery. This is an opportunity to do more than manage an established process. You will help shape how work gets done within a growing team, identify opportunities to improve execution, and create the structure, visibility, and alignment needed to move complex programs forward. You will partner across engineering, product, marketing, customer-facing teams, and other functions to manage multiple interconnected workstreams, dependencies, risks, and priorities. The right candidate combines strong project management fundamentals with the judgment, technical curiosity, and influence needed to lead teams without direct authority.

- Own project scope, schedules, milestones, and dependencies, including development of integrated plans that align digital and connected-device teams.
- Manage several concurrent workstreams and priorities, ensuring resources are focused at the right
