Project Management Officer

Robeauté

is redefining the future of neurosurgery with self-propelled microrobots designed to navigate the human brain with unprecedented precision. Our technology enables access to deep brain regions previously unreachable without invasive surgery. These microrobots can collect biopsies, deliver cancer drugs, and implant electrodes for neurological treatments.

Since our founding in 2017, we've filed over 50 patents and successfully tested our technology in living animals. Human clinical trials are targeted for 2026. Backed by €27M in Series A funding from Plural, Cherry Ventures, Kindred Ventures, and Brainlab, we are entering a new phase of growth.

As part of this expansion, we are looking for a senior

Project Management Officer

to lead the organisation and execution of complex projects at the core of the development of a revolutionary neurosurgical microrobotics platform.

The PMO holds strong functional authority over projects, with end-to-end accountability for delivery (timeline, quality, compliance), without direct line management responsibility over team members.

This role requires a high level of ownership, self‑drive and legitimacy, built on experience, regulatory understanding, and the ability to influence multidisciplinary teams in a highly regulated medical device environment, particularly under Design Control constraints.

What You'll Do

Supervise the design and layout of full project plans with team roadmaps/inputs, based on measurable goals, anticipating time and resources always with the highest quality level in mind

Consolidate inputs and contribution from all stakeholders in the project: Research, Development, V&V, Product, Manufacturing, Quality, Regulatory, PreClinical & Clinical, as well as Partners (medical, research, Industrial) and Critical Suppliers

When necessary, find out how to best breakdown large tasks into achievable, well‑defined work streams

Keep time and energy to create and organise new projects

Update the roadmap, as in:

Manage priorities based on the evolution risks (technical risks, supply chain risks, human risks, medical risks...)

Clarify second level dependencies of evolving roadmap priorities with all the parties impacted

Anticipate issues as the projects progress, identifying risks, deviations, and bottlenecks

Plan and anticipate the evolution of teams all along the project life cycle

Exercise judgment in deciding when a project is done and ensuring a clean, intentional close

Exercise authority and Leadership, as in:

With functional authority, lead by motivating teams, team leaders and individual contributors

Driving execution through influence rather than hierarchy

Exercise clear functional authority over project decisions (planning, sequencing, prioritisation, escalation)

Foster alignment and commitment across multidisciplinary teams

Challenge teams constructively when needed, with authority, clarity, and respect

Report on project advancement, as in:

Serve as the central communication hub for project information

Manage both the executive overview of the project progress and the detailed version with high granularity

Present project advancement concisely, lively and with clarity to team leaders, to the whole team, to the various groups as well as to management

Prepare and lead project reviews, milestone gates, and risk reviews

Maintain MedTech Compliance & Design Control, as in:

Ensure projects are executed in full compliance with medical device development processes, including:

Design Control (ISO 13485 / 21 CFR 820)

Requirements management, risk management, verification & validation

Guarantee that all project milestones are properly documented, traceable, and audit‑ready

Work closely with Quality and Regulatory teams to ensure alignment and compliance

Requirements

10+ years of experience in managing complex development projects, preferably in MedTech or medical devices

Proven experience working under Design Control and regulated development frameworks

Strong track record coordinating cross‑functional teams (R&D, Clinical, Quality, Regulatory, Manufacturing)

Strong technical and scientific background, with formal training in engineering or applied sciences (e.g., physics, mechanics, biomedical engineering)

Extensive experience in deep‑tech medical device development, with a proven track record in highly innovative, complex products

End‑to‑end project experience, ideally having taken at least one medical device project from early development phases (concept, feasibility, early design) through regulatory approval or advanced clinical stages

Solid understanding of regulated MedTech environments, including design control, risk management, verification and validation, and interactions between technical, clinical and regulatory constraints

Preference for candidates with experience in surgical robotics or brain‑related medical devices, where technical, clinical, and safety considerations are tightly coupled

Combination of senior experience and strong personal drive, bringing both maturity in decision‑making and a high level of enthusiasm, curiosity and hands‑on engagement (regardless of age)

Excellent people and communication skills, with the ability to coach, motivate and influence teams and individual contributors across disciplines

Strong project management skill set, complemented by mastery of digital project management tools, including modern PM platforms and emerging AI‑enabled tools to support planning, tracking and decision‑making

Professional level of both English and French is required

Soft Skills

Accountable and self‑driven leader with great autonomy

Calm, structured leadership style

Results‑driven and solution‑oriented mindset

Ability to make decisions and say no when required

Comfortable operating in high‑stakes, fast‑moving environments requiring a good sense of humour
