SI-BONE® is focused on helping patients in one of the most under-served, under-diagnosed, and under-treated areas in orthopedics, the sacroiliac (SI) joint.

• Team Players: We roll-up our sleeves and work together as one team to achieve our goals.

General Responsibilities

We are seeking a Project Manager that will lead cross-functional projects for products already on the market, and for the business systems and quality programs that support them. The Project Manager will act as the core team leader for your projects. They will align Engineering, R&D, Manufacturing, Operations, Quality, Regulatory, IT, Finance, Clinical, Marketing and suppliers around a shared plan and drive it to on-time, high-quality delivery.

The ideal candidate will thrive in a high-growth environment, understand the rigor of medical device design and change controls, and move easily between technical detail and business priorities.

Specific Responsibilities and Skills

• Own program timelines, budgets, and deliverables from initiation through release and closure, including design control and change control milestones.
• Serve as core team leader: define program scope, secure cross-functional alignment, and make sure delivery is both rigorous and timely.
• Build and maintain integrated project plans, identifying the critical path, dependencies, and resource needs across functions.
• Proactively assess timelines to anticipate risks and obstacles, develop mitigation plans, and identify opportunities to accelerate delivery.

Cross-Functional Coordination and Communication

• Lead core team meetings and convene additional cross-functional working sessions as needed beyond standing engineering and design control reviews.
• Lead cross-functional troubleshooting and root-cause efforts for on-market products, partnering closely with Quality, Manufacturing, and Engineering to drive resolution.
• Develop and implement program metrics, dashboards, and status reporting so that team commitments (scope, schedule, resources) are tracked and communicated clearly to stakeholders and leadership.
• Escalate issues and tradeoff decisions to leadership with clear options and recommendations.
• Manage suppliers, contract manufacturers, and implementation partners against agreed scope, cost, and dates.

Portfolio and Business Impact

• Manage several projects at once, making and meeting commitments tied to specific business goals.
• Ensure product changes, business system releases, and quality programs meet established objectives for performance, quality, cost, and schedule.
• Consider how each program affects the broader organization, including manufacturing capacity, supply chain, business systems, sales training, and surgeon education.
• Support team members directly on project tasks when needed to keep work moving.

Compliance and Quality

• Ensure programs follow design control and change control requirements under 21 CFR Part 820 (QMSR), ISO 13485, and ISO 14971 risk management.
• Partner with Regulatory Affairs to plan and support regulatory assessments and submissions for product changes (e.g., 510(k)) and with Quality to maintain complete, audit-ready Design History Files.
• Support CAPA, nonconformance, and audit readiness across your projects.

Knowledge, Education, & Experience

• Bachelor's degree in related discipline.
• 2-4 years of experience as an engineer or project manager in the medical device industry.
• A track record of delivering product and system changes under formal change control.
• Working knowledge of design controls, change control, risk management, and the medical device product lifecycle.
• Cross-disciplinary understanding of engineering, manufacturing, operations, R&D, IT, clinical, regulatory, and quality functions.
• Experience running several concurrent projects across functions against firm deadlines.
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to work effectively with coworkers, surgeons, clinicians, distributor representatives, suppliers, and implementation partners.

Preferred Experience

• Experience in orthopedics; spine or sacropelvic experience is a strong plus.
• Experience in a high-growth medical device company whose products serve a specialty physician audience.
• A history of innovative engineering solutions, cost-effective manufacturing, and ongoing product improvement after launch.
• Experience with ERP or other regulated business-system implementations, including computer system validation.
• Experience managing suppliers or contract manufacturers.
• PMP or equivalent project management certification.
• Proficiency with project management tools (e.g., MS Project, Smartsheet).
