Director of Project Management

Have you ever felt blown away by the miracles of modern medicine, while also feeling that the patient experience still leaves much to be desired?

Here at Myomo, Inc., it's our mission not only to leverage the power of cutting-edge robotic technology to improve patient quality of life, but also to demonstrate a commitment to prioritize and serve the patient.

We are 1st in the U.S. to develop and market the MyoPro® product line of lightweight, non-invasive, powered arm braces (orthoses) to restore function in the paralyzed or weakened arms and hands of individuals that have suffered a stroke, spinal cord or nerve injury such as brachial plexus injury, or other neuro-muscular disability such as traumatic brain injury, (TBI) brachial plexus injury, (BPI) or multiple sclerosis (MS). It is the only device that, sensing a patient’s own neurological signals through non-invasive sensors on the arm, can restore their ability to use their arms and hands so that they can return to work, live independently and reduce their cost of care.

At Myomo, we are driven by a mission to enable independence and confidence for stroke survivors as well as those living with the impact of another neurological disorder. Our teams continue to break through barriers, defining the limits of what is possible in both medical device robotics and our global system of care.

The Director of Project Management will build and inspire the cross-functional team to create innovative, meaningful, business-impactful products, and ensure that their programs successfully navigate Myomo’s design controls process and deliver high-quality products to market.
