Overview:

We are seeking an experienced Project Manager II to lead and drive cross-functional projects within a regulated environment, with a particular focus on product remediation activities in the regulatory space.

• Track project progress, report status to senior leadership (Manager/Director level), and ensure adherence to quality standards, budget, and timelines.
• Provide project leadership in a regulatory affair setting (no prior regulatory affairs experience required).
• Utilize tools such as MS Project, SharePoint, and the MS Office Suite to organize and manage work effectively.

Requirements:

• Must be local to the Twin Cities area and available for initial in-office onboarding/training. Remote work is permitted afterward with occasional on-site meetings.
• Bachelor’s degree required.
• 7+ years of project management experience in a regulated industry (medical device, pharmaceutical, or similar highly regulated field preferred).
• Demonstrated ability to lead without authority and hold team members accountable.
• Exceptional communication and organizational skills.
• Experience managing product launch or remediation projects in a technical, non-IT environment.
