Job Description

EndoTheia, a rapidly growing medical device startup developing flexible endoscopic devices to improve patient outcomes and empower physicians worldwide, is currently hiring for a Project Manager to join their team in Nashville, TN.

This position will coordinate and drive device programs from early-stage research through commercialization. This role is primarily focused on project management: ensuring milestones, resources, and deliverables stay on track across engineering, quality, clinical, and regulatory teams. At the same time, it carries a subtle product management dimension: translating clinician and stakeholder input into actionable requirements, aligning development with business priorities, and maintaining awareness of market and competitive context.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain detailed project plans, tracking milestones, dependencies, and critical paths.
• Coordinate across engineering, regulatory, quality, and clinical teams to ensure seamless execution.
• Identify risks early and propose mitigation strategies.
• Maintain clear program documentation (timelines, action logs, status reports, meeting notes).
• Manage external collaborators, consultants, and OEMs to deliver on program needs.
• Support resource allocation and budget tracking across active projects.
• Partner with leadership and engineers to translate clinical/user insights into development requirements.
• Participate in design reviews, balancing technical execution with downstream usability and market needs.
• Track industry and competitive developments to inform program direction.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, Life Sciences, or related field; PMP certification a plus.
• 2–5 years of project management experience in medical devices or other regulated industries.
• Demonstrated ability to manage cross-functional projects from planning through execution.
• Familiarity with medical device development processes, including design controls and verification/validation.
• Strong organizational, prioritization, and multitasking skills.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
• Comfortable in a fast-paced startup environment with evolving priorities.

Desired Skills

• Exposure to product management activities (requirements gathering, competitive analysis, user feedback integration).
• Familiarity with ISO 13485/14971 and FDA QSR frameworks.
• Experience with Smartsheet, MS Project, or other project management tools.
• Ability to integrate technical, clinical, and business perspectives into program decisions.

Why Join Us

• Play a central role in executing programs that bring cutting-edge medical devices to market.
• Gain experience at the intersection of project management, product development, and innovation.
• Work in a collaborative, mission-driven environment where your work has immediate impact.
• Competitive salary, benefits, and opportunities for growth in a rapidly scaling company.
