Director, Innovation & Strategy
Position Type: Other
Comp: $258k
Date Updated: 2026-09-16
Role Description: This company is a leader in regenerative biomaterials — collagen, bioceramics, and synthetic polymers transformed into bioabsorbable implants
80+ product lines across wound care, sports medicine, spine/ortho, dental, dural repair, ENT, and cardiovascular, serving 125+ customers including Stryker, J&J MedTech, Medtronic, and Smith+Nephew
#1 or #2 market position in Sports Medicine, ENT, Dental, Dural, and Peripheral Nerve categories
Backed by 28 years of collagen R&D and 27 years of polymer R&D, with 138 patents issued and 48 pending
$2.7B addressable market today, growing to $4.9B by 2030, including new frontiers in drug delivery and drug-device combinations
A rare, ground-floor opportunity to shape a brand-new function reporting directly to the Chief Innovation & Strategy Officer
Real influence: you’ll be the person the business defers to on whether new technology is worth chasing; not just executing decisions made elsewhere
Direct mentorship from a 25-year Regenity veteran recently elevated into a newly created C-suite role
Work at the center of a growing, PE-backed platform with real momentum, without the bureaucracy of a much larger organization
A seat inside the exact next-generation platforms (soluble collagen, new polymers, hyaluronic acid, cell therapy enablers) that will define where the company goes next
A technical or science-based background (engineering, life sciences, or similar) ; you don’t need to be a career dealmaker, but you do need to be able to judge whether a technology is actually worth pursuing
Experience in medical devices; specific biomaterials exposure is a strong plus but not required
Comfortable operating with real ambiguity — this is a role being built in real time, not one with an established playbook
Around 8+ years of total career experience, ideally including some product development, portfolio management, or upstream marketing along the way
High energy, genuinely curious, and quick to find a path forward rather than a reason something can’t be done#Li-RemoteLocation: NJ
