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

1. 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
2. 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
3. When necessary, find out how to best breakdown large tasks into achievable, well-defined work streams
4. Keep time and energy to create and organize new projects
5. 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
6. 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, prioritization, escalation)
• Foster alignment and commitment across multidisciplinary teams
• Challenge teams constructively when needed, with authority, clarity, and respect
7. 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
8. 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 skillset, 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
