Getinge Critical Care in Solna is now strengthening our product development organization with a Program manager. At Critical Care we develop tomorrow’s intensive care products and equipment, and we are in an intensive period of change and expansion. In this role you will be a key player within our R&D organization and have the possibility to take an active part in how we run product development, and in our ongoing agile change journey.

Why this role matters

- Champion agile/lean practices, modern toolchains, and data-driven decision making.
- Manage internal and outsourced development partners, ensuring seamless collaboration.
- Report program status, risks, and mitigation plans to the Critical Care management team.
The position is based at our site in Solna but offers the flexibility to work from home when suitable. The role requires occasional international travel. You will be reporting to the Head of New Platform Development in Critical Care.
You will bring
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree within Engineering
- 10+ years’ experience leading complex product-development programs (med-tech, automotive, or high-tech preferred).
- Strong leadership that unites cross-functional teams behind a bold vision.
- Deep technical know-how in embedded systems, software, electronics, and mechanics.
- Proven success managing both internal and external development partners.
- Hands-on experience with agile methodologies and modern product-development processes.
