Job description

Project Manager - Medical Device Contract Manufacturing (Carolinas)

Consider this opportunity if you are the person customers call when the project gets complicated. Not because you have the loudest voice in the room, but because you translate chaos into clarity. You sit between the customer and the production floor, and both sides trust you. You have managed multiple customer programs simultaneously in a manufacturing environment, and you have done it without hiding behind email.

Our client is an established and growing medical device contract development and manufacturing organization (CDMO) in the Carolinas. They are hiring a Project Manager to own customer relationships from kickoff through delivery, serving as the primary point of contact across product development, engineering, quality, and operations.

What this role actually looks like:

You will manage 3 to 5 active customer programs at a time. You will be in front of customers regularly, not occasionally. You will coordinate cross-functional teams internally while keeping the customer informed, aligned, and confident. You will own timelines, manage expectations and budgets, and solve problems before they elevate.

What will make you successful here:

• You have managed customer programs in a manufacturing environment (medical device preferred, not required)
• You are genuinely comfortable in customer-facing settings: calls, site visits, reviews, difficult conversations
• You understand how products move from development into production and can speak to engineering, quality, and operations teams in their language
• You are organized enough to run multiple programs without dropping balls, and self-aware enough to flag issues early
• You are based in the Carolinas or ready to relocate

This role is not a fit if:

• Your project management experience has been internal only, with no direct customer interaction
• You prefer to communicate through documentation rather than conversation
• You need close daily supervision to stay on track

Competitive base salary commensurate with experience. This is a high-visibility seat with real ownership and direct access to leadership.
