Job Description
Anteris Technologies is a global structural heart company dedicated to revolutionizing cardiac care. With offices in Minneapolis, MN, US; Geneva, Switzerland; and Brisbane and Perth, Australia, we have a growing and inclusive team.
Our mission is to forge new frontiers in cardiac care by pioneering science-driven and measurable advancements to restore heart valve patients to healthy function. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) technologies were originally designed for older, high-risk patients. Today, younger, more active patients need a better solution that will not just open and close but restore healthy heart function. We seek to restore healthy blood flow patterns by creating the world’s first biomimetic TAVR valve, DurAVR THV. This cutting-edge valve, incorporating our proprietary ADAPT anti-calcification technology, is designed to mimic the natural function of a healthy heart valve.

Initially, this leader will take a hands-on role in standing up / scaling systems, processes, and capabilities; over time, the focus will evolve toward enterprise governance, long-range planning, and technology-driven business transformation. The IT leader will ensure the company’s information systems support business performance, regulatory compliance, and global scalability as Anteris transitions from clinical-stage operations to commercial readiness.
