Why join us?

CMR is one of the UK’s most exciting companies to be joining right now. The scale of our ambition to build a world-class medical devices company in Cambridge is matched only by the breath-taking innovation that underpins our next generation of surgical robot. We’re an award-winning company that plans to significantly disrupt the way surgery is performed for the benefit of millions of patients all around the world.  

Our values are ambitious, humble, fair and responsible and people focussed. If you share these values, our passion for improving lives and have the skills to make a real difference to the way minimal access surgery is developed and delivered then it’s a great time to join us.

The Role 

If you want to get into the fast-growing world of surgical robotics - then this is the role for you. We are recruiting for a Commercial Executive to be based out of any of the following regions in Germany. 

• Süd-Niedersachsen
• Hessen
• Thüringen

You will be focused on supporting and driving commercial excellence at CMR Surgical, and you will be engaging with a variety of healthcare stakeholders to commercialise the next generation of robotic-assisted surgery devices. 

Responsibilities

You'll work as part of the sales group with the remit to meet challenging sales targets in line with the company business plan. You will be part of a multi skilled team that will drive sales in a disruptive new business model, and report into the sales management structure. This role will give you the chance to learn and expand on critical commercial skills, with responsibilities including:

• Contributing to achieve the demanding commercial targets
• Working as part of a multi skilled commercial team to reach these goals
• Uncovering and creating new commercial opportunities
• Changing the paradigm of how robotic systems are sold within the healthcare arena
• Selling to health care providers and within healthcare structures and frameworks
• Helping to create long term relationships with all stakeholders within the healthcare arena
• Working (often) within the Operating Room environment to support the systems
• Creating the ultimate customer satisfaction ratings based on our unique approach
• Helping to disrupt how med tech companies sell into the complex healthcare market

About you

You'll be a graduate and have strong commercial experience in Medical Devices or another industry - what counts the most is the character of the individual. Can you sell yourself? We also expect you to be highly curious, outgoing and above all be able to demonstrate a self-starter attitude. While no previous experience of the robotic surgery market is required, an awareness and understanding of robotic surgery vs both laparoscopic and open surgery is important. You'll need to be able to demonstrate the ability to acquire and assimilate complex concepts quickly. 

You will be fluent in German (native speaker equivalent) and have an excellent knowledge of English

In addition:

•  You'll be entering the operating room environment so we're looking for team members that can face “The sight of blood” No knowledge of hospitals is required, but you need to understand you'd face that environment (it’s not for everyone)
• You should be comfortable with standard Microsoft Office tools (Outlook, Excel and Word) and be mobile device savvy
• You must be able to work in teams as this will be a fundamental part of the CMR approach to commercialising in this market
• You should be driven by learning, as this role will have a very steep and challenging learning curve
• You'll be inherently self-disciplined, as much of the role will be autonomous and require diligent and persistent follow up
• Sales is never 9 to 5, so you must be flexible in work hours, weekends and open to being called to action at short notice - this may include a degree of international travel
• You will be based in Germany - we are open to where you are located but please note the point above about travel.

The package

We offer a competitive salary and a great benefits package. On top of that, you’ll be joining a company with a fabulous culture of ambition, creativity and teamwork, and where fun is just as valued as our commitment to make surgery better for millions of people.

Interested? We’d love to hear from you!

Please note that this vacancy is open to internal applicants only and priority will be given to those applicants who's jobs are at risk of redundancy.
