At Vantari we care about saving lives. Medical procedures need to be taught in a way that is safe, standardised and scalable – using the technology of today and tomorrow. This is what we do. We use Virtual Reality to train healthcare workers (students, nurses, doctors and allied health) to perform fundamental and high-impact medical procedures.
Our team is a diverse and multi-talented team who are passionate about having an impact in the lives of patients and using their skills to develop technology that is first of its kind and world-leading. We’d love to have you join us on our journey!
The Role
Vantari is looking for an experienced and talented project manager who has a technically inclined mindset. This individual will be working with several cross functional teams, consisting of medics, software engineers and 3D artists. The project manager’s main focus revolves around stakeholder management and interacting with clients throughout the project’s duration. Working at Vantari would entail both autonomous and collaborative work to build and deliver products to the highest quality. Ideal team members would have the skillset to work successfully across the entire project development lifecycle. This role contributes to our expansion into and establishment of a presence within the US market and as such stakeholder management within the US market.
There would also be an expectation of some overlap with the technical team - which will be primarily in the Australian timezone. Candidates based on the West Coast of the United States (PST) are preferred to facilitate seamless coordination with our team in Australia. However, we are open to considering highly qualified candidates from other regions who can accommodate working outside of regular office hours to ensure effective collaboration across time zones. This flexibility is essential to support our dynamic and global operations.
