  • Partner with the SVP, Sales and RVPs to prioritize opportunities and support strategic distributor negotiations when requested.
Talent Recruitment, Conversion & Handoff
  • Own relationships with priority candidates throughout the recruiting process and maintain accountability for pipeline progression.
  • Coordinate with Sales leadership, Human Resources, and other stakeholders on evaluation, compensation discussions, offer development, and a timely candidate experience.
  • After hire, partner with the appropriate RVP and Director, Strategic Growth to establish geographic assignment, distributor structure, target surgeons, initial accounts, product focus, training requirements, and 90-, 180-, and 365-day objectives.
  • Facilitate a clear transition of the new hire relationship to the appropriate RVP.
  • Maintain a working knowledge of applicable legal and regulatory requirements affecting the orthopedic medical device industry, including healthcare fraud and abuse laws, fair market value principles, confidentiality obligations, restrictive covenant and non-competition considerations, and distributor and commercial contracting requirements, and partner effectively with Legal and Compliance to identify and mitigate business risks.
