Project Management Office (PMO) Director

Have you ever felt that healthcare as an industry represents opportunities for growth? That - while treatments and outcomes are more impressive than ever due to many advancements of modern medicine - the patient experience still leaves much to be desired?

Would you like to be part of not only a cutting-edge drive to not only improve clinical outcomes through technology, along with a commitment to prioritize and serve the patient?

Myomo, Inc. is a medical myoelectric company offering expanded mobility for those suffering from neurological disorders and upper-limb paralysis.

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 amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) 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 ALS, MS, and other neurological disorders. 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.
