Who We Are:
Proprio advances surgery with its proprietary platform that combines artificial intelligence, computer vision, and augmented reality. Our flagship product, the Paradigm system, is an advanced surgical navigation system providing vital information that integrates pre-operative imaging and planning with intraoperative performance data. This unique longitudinal dataset offers significant value to the entire surgical ecosystem.
At Proprio, you'll have the opportunity to work for a pioneering medical device company that is revolutionizing the future of spine surgery. Every employee at Proprio must have “growth-company DNA,” which requires comfort with a fast-paced environment, ability to manage ambiguity, and demonstrate resilience while collaborating across teams and with leading medical and research institutions. Things change quickly and frequently at Proprio, so we are looking for team members who are at the top of their game, who can be accountable to their work from beginning to end, take feedback well, prioritize ruthlessly, make data-driven decisions, and maintain a positive attitude.
What We Are Looking For:
At Proprio, we know high standards must be maintained to deliver impact at scale, and we want to work with people that embody our core values and foundational competencies:
- Be Bold: You know that your work matters - patients’ lives are in our metaphorical hands - and that gives you the energy to lean in and give your all, even when it gets hard or that means pushing beyond conventional wisdom and known possibilities, at the risk of failure.
- Evolve Relentlessly: You are an entrepreneur with a growth mindset who sees opportunity everywhere. To you, the word NO, simply means Next Option. You are comfortable with ambiguity and are not only change tolerating, but change seeking. You are comfortable living in the grey, see whitespace everywhere and can see around corners. You welcome friction and mistakes as compost for your growth, and greet adversity as something to further develop your resilience. You are always re-thinking the status quo, including within yourself and your own intellectual, emotional and social development.
- Sweat the Right Details: You know that details matter in our business and at our stage of growth. You understand that some details always matter because we have patients’ lives in our hands and are in a highly regulated, highly competitive industry.
- Take Ownership: You are accountable, take ownership and win as a team. You are a self-starter and self reliant, but know that you are not an island of one. You take your work to the finish line, including whenever it means helping our colleagues over the finish line with you. Secure enough in yourself and the culture of teamwork to know that you can ask for help, no matter the situation. You see the problem or issue as your own and take responsibility for the quality of outcomes, not just effort.
