Senior Project Manager

Anteris Technologies is a global structural heart company dedicated to revolutionizing cardiac care. With offices in Minneapolis, MN, US; Geneva, Switzerland; and Brisbane and Perth, Australia, we have a growing and inclusive team.

Our mission is to forge new frontiers in cardiac care by pioneering science-driven and measurable advancements to restore heart valve patients to healthy function. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) technologies were originally designed for older, high-risk patients. Today, younger, more active patients need a better solution that will not just open and close but restore healthy heart function. We seek to restore healthy blood flow patterns by creating the world’s first biomimetic TAVR valve, DurAVR THV. This cutting-edge valve, incorporating our proprietary ADAPT anti-calcification technology, is designed to mimic the natural function of a healthy heart valve.

The Sr. Project Manager will drive progress on project activities within the company’s structural heart program, particularly, but not exclusively, in collaboration with the Operations team. This role will be adept at leading and participating in various cross-functional teams and projects related to new product development, launch, business continuity, manufacturing transfers and other projects in alignment with the overall development and operations strategy. This position is accountable for creating project plans and managing activities, timing, budget, and milestones, as well as challenges, and to develop and propose plans and actions to mitigate any identified risks or opportunities. This position will be hands-on with day-to-day project tasks, achieving program goals and collaborating cross-functionally across a global team. This is a highly visible role, making a substantial contribution to Anteris.

At Anteris Technologies, you'll be part of a team dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for patients with aortic stenosis through groundbreaking medical devices. Join us in our mission to revolutionize structural heart solutions.
