👩💻 Your impact

As CMO Specialist, you will be the driving force behind our outsourced manufacturing operations. Your mission is to make sure our partners can deliver the components and kits we need on time, at the right quality, and at the right cost. This means taking ownership of scaling production from hundreds of pumps per week to thousands per month, managing the complexity of multiple product lines, and ensuring everything runs smoothly as we prepare for the launch of our new product.

You’ll work closely with internal teams and external suppliers to solve problems, improve processes, and keep production moving. When challenges arise, whether it’s a design issue, a capacity bottleneck, or a yield loss, you’ll lead the effort to find solutions and implement changes. Success in this role means building strong relationships, maintaining control over ongoing projects, and making sure our supply chain can deliver on its promises. Your work will have a direct impact on getting life-changing technology into the hands of people who need it most.

• Lead projects focused on yield improvement, cost reduction, and process stabilisation at CMOs.

• Support new product launches and continuous improvements, ensuring readiness of processes and equipment.

• Collaborate closely with internal teams (R&D, Quality, Procurement) and external partners to align priorities and resolve issues quickly.

• Travel occasionally to suppliers in Europe and Asia to strengthen relationships and tackle challenges on-site.
