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 asenior 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 fullprojectplans with team roadmaps/inputs, based onmeasurablegoals,anticipatingtime andresourcesalwayswiththe highest quality level in mind

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

Whennecessary,find out how to best breakdown large tasksintoachievable, well-defined work streams

Keep time and energy to create and organize new projects

Updatethe roadmap, as in:

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

Clarify second leveldependenciesof evolving roadmap priorities with all the partiesimpacted

Anticipate issues asthe projectsprogress,identifyingrisks, deviations, and bottlenecks

Plan andanticipatethe evolution of teams allalong theprojectlife cycle

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

Exercise authority andLeadership, as in:

With functional authority,leadbymotivating teams, teamleadersand individual contributors

Drivingexecution through influence rather than hierarchy

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

Foster alignment and commitment across multidisciplinary teams

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

Reporton projectadvancement, 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

Presentprojectadvancement 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

MaintainMedTech 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, andaudit-ready

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

10+ years of experiencein managing complex developmentprojects, preferably inMedTech or medical devices

Proven experience working underDesign Controland regulated development frameworks

Strongtrack recordcoordinating 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 proventrack recordin highly innovative, complex products

End-to-end projectexperience, ideally having taken at least one medical device project from early development phases (concept, feasibility, early design) throughregulatory approvalor advanced clinicalstages

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 levelof 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 skillset, complemented by mastery ofdigital project management tools, including modern PM platforms and emergingAI-enabled toolsto 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 whenrequired

Comfortable operating in high-stakes, fast-moving environmentsrequiring a good sense ofhumour
