Senior Product Manager : Medical Device

As the pharmaceutical and biotech segments of the medical industry have flattened and contracted, the medical device business has taken off.  New technology platforms are being developed at an increasing rate, and new marketing positions are being created.  A profitable, growing Medical Device manufacturer is developing first-in-class technology and expanding their commercial operations.  If you are looking for a strategic marketing challenge in a healthy, well-established organization then this could be the opportunity for you.  With average annual revenue growth exceeding 10% for the past five years and a global market share over 50%, the future is bright for this emerging company.  They have an exciting work environment where their teams have unusually strong personal chemistry.  A full product pipeline has led to the need to expand in select areas, and we are looking for a strategic planning professional to join the marketing team.

Responsibilities:

The Senior Product Manager will develop innovative programs to expand a very underdeveloped segment of the diabetes medical device market.  The unique product platform has little competition and a dominant global market share, so the strategic challenge is to expand physician and patient awareness of the benefits of this innovative therapy.  You will be responsible for the strategic and tactical execution of the global market development plan, including working closely with the sales force to implement new programs in the field.  You will also plan and execute launches for a series of next-generation devices that will be commercialized over the next few years, including segmentation, positioning and branding for your assigned products.

A major part of this broadly-defined role will be to develop relationships with Key Opinion Leaders in the Diabetes and Endocrinology field and development them as advocates for this innovative therapy.  You will also manage alliances with external co-marketing partners, negotiating and collaborating with them to ensure that the overall market is expanded.  Working in a matrix structure, you will interact closely with cross-functional team members from Sales, Medical Affairs, R&D and others.  A rapidly expanding organization means significant opportunity exists for senior management and career development - we are looking to hire someone who can advance at least two levels within the organization during the course of their career. 

Qualifications:

We are looking for someone with the following qualities needed for success in this role:

• 5+ years of commercial experience (sales or marketing) in the medical technology industry (medical device, pharmaceutical, diagnostics or hospital equipment)


• 3+ years of in-house marketing experience in the medical technology industry, including product launch experience


• Outbound, “downstream” marketing experience that includes working with a sales organization and with external vendors


• Strong analytical, presentation and negotiating skills


• Bachelor’s degree or better; MBA preferred
