Job Title: Surgical Sales Specialist

Location: Cork/Munster, Ireland

Are you ready to launch a successful career in the medical sales industry? Our client, a leading medical device distributor with a family-like company culture, is seeking a Surgical Sales Specialist to join their supportive team. This role offers comprehensive training, a clear career path, and a structured route into medical device sales, with a focus on helping you succeed from day one.

About the Company:
Our client is more than just a medical device distributor-they prioritize building a supportive, positive work environment where team members are treated like family. They are committed to helping employees grow and thrive in their careers.

The Role:
As a Surgical Sales Specialist, you'll begin by supporting surgeons in theatre, becoming an expert in the company's range of advanced surgical devices. Your journey includes:

Shadowing and Training: Approximately 3 months of shadowing a senior team member, receiving 1-to-1 training, and attending overseas training with the manufacturers.

Product Expertise: Develop a deep understanding of top-tier surgical devices and how to support medical professionals in their use.

Gradual Transition to Sales: After 9-12 months, you will transition into a commercially focused role, mastering sales techniques and becoming a Territory Manager, with an emphasis on business development.

Highly Sought-After Candidates:
Candidates with backgrounds as physiotherapists or those with a qualification in anatomy and 3+ years of experience will be highly sought after for this position. Your deep understanding of the human body, hands-on healthcare experience, and familiarity with medical environments make you an ideal fit for this role, especially in supporting surgeons during procedures.

Highlights of the Role:

Cork/Munster Focus: Unlike many roles that require extensive travel across Ireland, this position focuses primarily on Dublin and the Leinster area.
Comprehensive 1-to-1 Training: Enjoy tailored training and development from day one, ensuring your success in both the clinical and commercial aspects of the role.
Supportive Team Environment: Join a company that values your growth and provides a gradual, well-planned transition into medical device sales, avoiding the typical "sink or swim" approach.

Career Path:
Step 1: Physiotherapist/Anatomy Qualification
Step 2: Clinical Support Specialist (6-12 months)
Step 3: Surgical Sales Specialist/Territory Manager

What We're Looking For:
Educational Background: NFQ Level 8 (Honours Bachelor Degree) in healthcare, anatomy, physiotherapy, engineering, business, or science fields

Experience: 3+ years in healthcare, B2B sales/marketing, or a related industry
Skills: Problem-solving mindset, excellent communication and interpersonal skills, and a drive to succeed in medical sales

What You'll Receive:
Salary: €45,000 - €55,000 plus bonus
Benefits: Pension scheme, company car, and 23 days of holiday (+ bank holidays)
Career Development: A clear, gradual path into medical device sales, with ongoing support and training
If you're passionate about healthcare, eager to grow, and excited about a career in medical device sales, apply today to become part of a team that values you as more than just an employee, but as part of the family!
