About the job

At Wellspect, we develop innovative medical device solutions that help people with bladder and bowel dysfunction live more independently and confidently. Every day, our products make a real difference to users around the world.

We're now looking for a Technical Product Manager to join our R&D team in Mölndal.

This temporary position offers a unique opportunity to work across the entire product lifecycle, from supporting the development of new products and technologies to driving improvements and changes for products already on the market.

If you enjoy combining product development, technical problem-solving, cross-functional collaboration, and product lifecycle management, this could be the role for you.

What you'll do

As a Technical Product Manager, you'll play a central role in both new product development and product lifecycle management.

• You will support development projects by leading Design Control activities and coordinating technical deliverables throughout the development process.
• At the same time, you'll drive sustaining activities for released products, including product improvements, supplier changes, quality enhancements, cost optimization initiatives, and lifecycle management activities.
• Working across multiple functions, you'll help ensure that our products remain safe, effective, compliant, and competitive throughout their lifecycle.
• No two days are exactly the same. One day you might be supporting a development project preparing for design verification, and the next you could be leading a cross-functional assessment of a supplier change or driving activities to improve product quality and supply continuity.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead Design Control activities within new product development projects.
• Drive and coordinate product changes throughout the lifecycle of released products.
• Support the development, transfer, launch, and maintenance of medical device products and systems.
• Lead cross-functional assessments related to design, materials, manufacturing processes, suppliers, packaging, and product performance.
• Ensure technical documentation is developed and maintained in compliance with regulatory and quality requirements.
• Drive sustaining activities related to quality improvements, supply continuity, cost optimization, and risk mitigation.
• Collaborate with stakeholders across R&D, Operations, Quality, Regulatory Affairs, Supply Chain, Procurement, Medical Affairs, and Commercial teams.
• Support investigations, root cause analyses, risk assessments, and technical problem-solving activities.
• Contribute to continuous improvement of products, processes, and ways of working.

Who you are

You are a curious and proactive team player who enjoys solving technical challenges and driving initiatives forward.

You have a structured approach and feel comfortable navigating complex situations involving multiple stakeholders and competing priorities. You are able to balance technical, regulatory, quality, and business considerations while maintaining focus on the end user.

Most importantly, you are motivated by developing products that improve people's quality of life.

What you'll bring

• A university degree in Engineering, Materials Science, Biomedical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or a similar technical discipline.
• 5-10 years of experience within medical device development, product maintenance, technical product management, or another regulated industry (Design Control and Change Control).
• Experience developing and maintaining technical documentation.
• Experience using PLM systems to support product development, change management, and lifecycle management activities.
• Strong problem-solving, collaboration, and stakeholder management skills.
• Excellent communication skills in English, both written and spoken.

Why Wellspect?

At Wellspect, you'll join a collaborative and supportive environment where knowledge sharing, teamwork, and continuous improvement are part of everyday life.

You'll work with talented colleagues across multiple disciplines and have the opportunity to influence products that are used by people around the world. Together, we develop innovative solutions that improve quality of life and make a meaningful difference every day.
