Senior/Principal Program Manager

Corporate Overview:

Back pain affects 50 million Americans and is the number one cause of disability in the US with a societal cost of approximately $560 billion annually. There are also over 100 million opioid prescriptions written annually, highlighting the underlying need for improved pain management solutions. While the approximately 80,000 annual Spinal Cord Stimulation (SCS) implants was a $2.5B market in 2019 and growing (8% to 10% CAGR for the prior five years), the market is ripe for disruption. Additionally, SCS devices and procedures have favorable reimbursement with existing codes in place for physicians and facilities (hospitals and ASCs).

Founded in 2017, Presidio Medical is a well-financed, clinical stage, medical device company with a transformational neuromodulation platform technology. The company is based in South San Francisco and is growing rapidly. The company’s first indication is in chronic pain. Due to the proprietary stimulation compatibilities, Presidio Medical’s technology is targeting a significant unmet pain segment which can unlock and potentially double the addressable market. In addition, Presidio has begun work outside of the lucrative SCS market and is exploring other indications with undesired nerve activity. The company is actively engaged in targeted R&D projects for patients in other disease states who will potentially benefit from the company’s proprietary technology.
