Contract Medical Device Project Manager jobs

Are you an experienced Product Manager looking for an opportunity to shape the future of healthcare products? Do you thrive on bringing new ideas to life, collaborating across teams, and delivering products that make a genuine difference to patients and healthcare professionals?

Join Optimum Medical, one of the UK's fastest-growing medical device companies, and play a key role in growing and developing our Urology and Ostomy portfolios across the UK and international markets.

About the Role

As a Product Manager, you will take ownership of our high-growth Urology and Ostomy product portfolios, leading the development and execution of marketing strategies that drive commercial success and improve patient outcomes.

You'll be responsible for managing the existing portfolio while helping shape our future pipeline, working closely with Commercial, R&D, Regulatory and Healthcare Professional Marketing teams to deliver innovative products from concept through to successful launch.

This is an exciting opportunity for a commercially minded product professional who enjoys balancing strategic thinking with hands-on execution in a fast-paced healthcare environment.

This role is primarily based at our Leeds Head Office, with flexible hybrid working available. Travel within the UK will be required to attend customer meetings, conferences and events, with occasional international travel as needed.

What You'll Be Doing

• Own and optimise the Urology and Ostomy product portfolios, including forecasting, pricing, profitability, packaging, positioning and portfolio rationalisation.
• Develop compelling value propositions and support the generation of clinical and health economic evidence to strengthen product adoption.
• Drive the new product development pipeline, collaborating with key stakeholders to identify market opportunities and future growth initiatives.
• Lead product launches from concept through to commercialisation, acting as the voice of the customer throughout the development process.
• Partner with R&D, Regulatory and Commercial teams to successfully bring new products to market in the UK and international territories.
• Build relationships with Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs), Stoma Care Nurses, Urology Specialists and Continence Care Professionals to inform portfolio and product development decisions.
• Lead Post-Market Clinical Follow-Up (PMCF) activities, gathering real-world evidence to support product safety, performance and long-term value.
• Monitor market trends, competitor activity and healthcare landscape changes, including NHS and regulatory developments, to identify opportunities and risks.
• Generate market insights and customer feedback to drive continuous product improvement and support strategic decision-making.

What We're Looking For

• Minimum 3-5 years' experience in Product Management and Marketing within the medical device industry.
• Strong commercial awareness with the ability to balance customer needs and business objectives.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
• Proven ability to work cross-functionally and influence stakeholders at all levels.
• Strong project management skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
• Ability to translate customer and market insights into successful product strategies.
• Self-motivated and comfortable working independently while collaborating within a wider team.
• Experience managing product portfolios, launches and lifecycle activities.

Desirable, But Not Essential

• Experience within Urology, Ostomy or Continence Care markets.
• Bachelor's degree in Business, Marketing or a related discipline.
• Experience working within international healthcare markets.
• Knowledge of clinical evidence generation, PMCF activities or healthcare economics.
