Product Development Project Manager

Product Development Project Manager

Are you motivated by driving end to end product development that truly makes a difference for users? As we strengthen our R&D organization to create clearer ownership, deeper functional excellence, and even stronger cross functional collaboration, we are looking for a Product Development Project Manager to help shape the next generation of Coloplast solutions.

Join us and take a central role in bringing new products from early concepts to a final product - improving life for millions of people with intimate health care needs.

Join our R&D organization
You will become part of our newly structured Product Development area within R&D, where engineering, design, clinical insights, marketing, and operations collaborate closely across competence tracks. The reorganization strengthens our ability to innovate efficiently, secure quality in execution, and ensure strong functional ownership throughout the development process.

As a Product Development Project Manager, you will drive the Product Development workstream in one or more cross functional development projects or programs, leading teams typically spanning mechanical design, material science, system-, test- and usability engineering and collaborating closely with process engineering, user insights, QA/RA, and operations.

Your key responsibilities

You will be responsible for driving clarity, structure, and momentum in your projects. Responsibilities include:
•    Lead end to end product development projects from scoping to launch, following Coloplast’s development and stage gate model.
•    Based on project scope define success criteria, timelines, resources, and budgets together with the project core team — and adjust plans as learning emerges.
•    Build and lead cross functional project teams (size depending on project scope).
•    Align with competence area managers within Product Development to secure the right resources and functional deliverables.
•    Ensure design for manufacturing and smooth integration with the manufacturing development workstream 
•    Drive strong stakeholder communication and ensure alignment with your project / program core team.
•    Contribute to strengthening project management excellence

What you bring
You are a structured, curious, and collaborative project leader with the ability to motivate and guide teams through complex development journeys. You thrive in a setting where responsibilities are clearly defined across functions — and where close collaboration is key to success. You preferably have:

•    5+ years of experience leading technical or product development projects in an R&D environment (medical devices, pharma, or other regulated industries is a plus).
•    A MSc or BSc within engineering, materials, design, innovation, or another relevant technical field.
•    Experience driving projects through early concepting, development, verification, and into manufacturing.
•    Strong communication and networking skills, with ease navigating a broad range of stakeholders.
•    Ability to handle uncertainty and adjust plans as insights emerge.
•    Fluency in written and spoken English.

What we offer
•    A central role in our strengthened R&D organization with clear development tracks and expanded functional collaboration.
•    A chance to shape meaningful products and solutions for people living with intimate health care needs.
•    A strong project management community with 30+ colleagues across product innovation, technology, and manufacturing.
•    Opportunities for professional growth within project management, program management, or functional leadership.
•    An inclusive culture where we make sure that you can be you.
