Your key responsibilities:

• You will provide clinical product support to all end users (surgeons, healthcare professionals, nurses) and on-site guidance and assistance during surgical procedures with the Mako robotics system. Therefore, you will mainly work with assigned accounts within your defined territory.

• You will prepare pre-operative CT scans for use in conjunction with the Robotic Arm Interactive Orthopedic Mako system to assist surgeons in preoperative implant planning, implant sizing and positioning.

• You will provide surgeons and OR staff with training and clinical/technical support during the surgery of the robotic arm applications, associated equipment and instruments to insure ideal placement and precision of the hip or knee implant.

• During the surgery, you know the procedure inside out so you can be one step of the scrub/scout nurse as you will need to tell then (at times) what implements to pass the surgeon, in what order and at what time. Additionally, you will solve potential product problems for customers in a highly satisfactory manner.

• You will collaborate with Sales Representatives and Marketing to increase public awareness and highlight clinical benefits of the products and build strong relationships with key surgeons and OR staff at targeted accounts.

• In addition to providing ongoing education, you will be a crucial conduit to our Stryker engineers for feedback on product design.

• Or: You hold a university degree within the field of biomechanical or biomedical engineering, medical technology, health sciences or similar.

• You have already gained orthopaedic surgery experience which is a plus – not a must.

• A strong customer interaction experience is important for you as you place the customer at the heart of everything you do!

• You hold strong communication and interpersonal skills to collaborate with all levels of a medical department.

• You hold a high level of stress resistance and demonstrated problem solving skills to troubleshoot potential problems.

• You are highly flexible to travel within the territory (90% travel) or also cover for your colleagues in other regions of France if needed. This can include overnight stays occasionally – all expenses are reimbursed.

• You would describe yourself as very detail orientation, curious and a fast-learner.

• You hold demonstrated knowledge of business administrative and clerical procedures and systems (e.g., word processing, file management and record maintenance)

• Fluency in Spanish and English is required. We kindly ask you to apply with an English CV.

• You hold a valid driver’s license.

What We Offer

• Company Car. As this is a field-based role with regular on-site meetings with customers, you will be provided with a customized company car including fuel card and all services.

• MAKO Product Training. To become a certified MAKO Product Specialist, you will complete a 6-month product training in English including co-travelling, surgery’s observation in the operating room and a final exam.

• Flat hierarchies and responsibility. Through flat hierarchies, we strengthen the initiative and willingness of our employees to take over responsible tasks.
