Global Project Manager – Wound Care, US
-
Location: United States (Remote)
-
Travel: Approximately 10–20%, including occasional international travel.
Are you a seasoned project leader who thrives in ambiguity, influences without authority, and wants to build something from the ground up?
At Mölnlycke, we're advancing healthcare through innovation, collaboration, and a relentless focus on improving patient outcomes. As our U.S. business continues to expand and take on greater strategic importance, we're creating a unique opportunity for an experienced Global Project Manager to help shape the future of project delivery across our organization. This highly visible role will lead strategic cross-functional initiatives ranging from portfolio expansion and product integration to operational and business transformation projects. The ideal candidate is a confident project management professional who can establish credibility quickly, navigate complex stakeholder environments, and bring structure to evolving business priorities.
This is more than a traditional project management role! It's an opportunity to help establish project management capabilities within the U.S. organization, influence high-priority business initiatives, and work across global teams at a time of significant growth and transformation.

-
Lead global cross-functional projects from initiation through execution and closeout
-
Deliver projects on time, within scope, budget, and quality expectations
-
Drive stakeholder alignment across business functions, regions, and leadership teams
-
Manage project risks, dependencies, governance activities, and decision-making processes
-
Lead product integration, portfolio expansion, operational improvement, and strategic business initiatives
-
Support project portfolio planning and resource management activities
-
Establish project structures, processes, and best practices where gaps exist
-
Drive continuous improvement, lessons learned, and knowledge-sharing activities
-
Build strong partnerships across U.S. and global stakeholder groups
-
Influence teams and deliver results without direct reporting authority
-
Occasionally travel domestically and internationally to support project objectives and collaboration
What We're Looking For:
-
Bachelor's degree required; Master's degree strongly preferred
-
Degree discipline is flexible and may include Business, Marketing, Engineering, Life Sciences, Operations, Healthcare, Project Management, or related fields
-
Minimum 5 years of project management experience leading complex, cross-functional initiatives
-
Experience managing global projects and working within matrixed organizations
-
Strong understanding of Stage-Gate project management methodologies
