Technical Project Manager

About SAVA

All the health information we need is within us. Just below the skin. SAVA is redefining the way people interact with their health by developing the most advanced biosensing technology science has to offer, capable of accessing bodily information in a painless, real-time and affordable way.

The Role

We are hiring a Technical Project Manger to drive the execution of SAVA’s cross departmental technical projects, including product development, manufacturing scale-up, clinical preparation, and regulatory readiness. These projects sit across engineering, manufacturing, quality, and clinical operations, requiring strong coordination, communication, and decision-making.

You will own cross-functional project planning, risk management, and operational readiness as SAVA moves from pilot-line production to large-scale manufacturing and prepares for regulatory submissions. You will turn company priorities into executable plans, define dependencies and sequencing, surface risks early, and ensure teams stay on track with key milestones.

This is not a coordination role. This is a central, high-ownership role with a direct impact on delivering SAVA’s product development and scale-up programmes. You will report into the Technical Programme Lead and work closely with cross departmental stakeholders.

What You’ll Do

• Own end-to-end project plans to drive progress towards critical milestones (timelines, dependencies, assumptions, critical paths, resource needs, and decision points).
• Orchestrate company-wide readiness for major milestones: design freezes, verification/validation, pilot builds, pivotal-trial readiness, and regulatory submissions.
• Identify risks early, drive mitigation plans, and ensure issues are resolved before they become blockers.
• Manage stakeholders with competing priorities.
• Facilitate design reviews, risk management reviews, and stage-gate decisions.

What We’re Looking For

• 2-4 years of experience in project management or product development in a complex hardware, medtech, or advanced manufacturing environment.
• Technical background (e.g. a degree in mechanical engineering, biomedical engineering, electrical engineering, maths or science).
• Strong operational intuition – you naturally see dependencies, risks, gaps, and sequencing.
• Highly organised and structured.
• Ability to engage confidently in technical discussions and challenge assumptions constructively.
• Experience thriving in ambiguity and guiding teams through evolving priorities.
• Clear, concise communicator who can hold teams accountable without friction.
• Bias for action – confident in making decisions, escalating appropriately, and driving to closure.

Bonus Points For

• Experience in medtech, sensor technology, wearables, or regulated hardware.
• Exposure to automated manufacturing or scaling complex assemblies from pilot to volume.
• Experience working in regulated environments (medical preferred).

Why SAVA?

This is a high-ownership, high-responsibility role in a company that’s building something complex, meaningful, and fast. The expectations are high, the learning curve is steep, and the work is often messy - but the impact is real.

We don’t have room for egos or passengers. What we do have is a team of thoughtful, driven, and mission-aligned people who are committed to building something better - and doing it with urgency and integrity.
