Senior Project Manager – Process Improvement & Transformation (MedTech)

For our client, a Medical Device company, we are looking for an experienced Improvement Project Manager / Transformation Coordinator to support our Global Product Labeling organization.

This role is not a traditional delivery-focused project management position. Instead, you will play a central role in driving internal improvement initiatives across documentation, localization, and labeling by bringing structure, alignment, and execution focus to a highly dynamic and cross-functional environment.

Setup

• Start: asap
• Location: Area Zurich (hybrid)
• Duration: 3–6 months

Your mission

You will ensure that existing improvement initiatives are not only defined, but actively driven, coordinated, and completed across teams.

Key responsibilities

• Drive internal improvement initiatives from planning through execution and follow-up
• Coordinate cross-functional stakeholders across Product Labeling, Documentation, Localization, Information Architecture, QA/RA, IT, Engineering, and external vendors
• Structure and prioritize a large number of parallel initiatives (~60)
• Create transparency on progress, ownership, timelines, and dependencies
• Facilitate workshops, alignment sessions, and decision-making forums
• Translate ideas into clear workstreams, milestones, and accountable owners
• Support business case development (effort, benefit, risk, resource needs)
• Monitor progress, proactively identify blockers, and escalate where needed
• Enable effective collaboration in a distributed and partially remote setup
• Support agile / Kanban-based ways of working

What makes this role unique

• You will operate at the intersection of strategy and execution
• You will not “own” individual deliverables, but ensure that initiatives move forward
• You will work in a highly regulated MedTech environment where documentation quality is critical for patient safety
• You will act as a central coordination point across multiple teams and stakeholders

Your profile

• Proven experience as Project Manager in a regulated environment (MedTech, Pharma, Life Sciences, Diagnostics)
• Strong track record in coordinating cross-functional and distributed teams
• Experience in documentation, labeling, localization, or structured content environments is a strong plus
• Solid understanding of regulatory processes, dependencies, and approval workflows
• Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills
• Ability to bring structure, prioritization, and execution focus to complex environments
• Experience working with external vendors
• Familiarity with Agile / Kanban methodologies
• KPI-driven mindset (effort, turnaround time, cost, efficiency)
• Fluent in English

Does this sound like an exciting opportunity?

We look forward to receiving your complete application!
