If you are passionate about enabling innovation in the operating theatre and thrive on building long term clinical relationships, this role offers the opportunity to make a real impact.
What will you be doing?
You will be at the centre of our robotics growth, spending your time in the field working shoulder to shoulder with surgeons, sales colleagues and specialist teams to bring cutting edge robotics technology into hospitals across your territory. From leading the launch of new robotic installations to accelerating utilisation in established accounts, you will play a pivotal role in shaping how robotics is adopted and used every day.
Your role will blend commercial impact with clinical expertise. You will deliver engaging demonstrations and hands on training, support workshops and congress activity, and become a trusted presence in the operating theatre. Working closely with the Robotics Business Development Manager and Recon sales teams, you will identify and develop new surgeon users, contribute to a strong and sustainable sales pipeline, and ensure every new account is smoothly implemented and confidently handed over.
You will also act as a go to expert for high level technical and clinical support, including troubleshooting within the Real Intelligence environment. At every stage of the customer journey, you will ensure surgeons and clinical teams feel supported, confident and excited about the value robotics brings to their practice.
