• Territory Ownership & Strategy: Develop and execute a winning commercial strategy for Southern Germany. You will identify key accounts, build a robust sales funnel, and take full ownership of the business results in your region.
• Build Trusting Partnerships: Establish and nurture deep, long-term relationships with interventional cardiologists, heart failure teams, and hospital administrators. You will be their trusted partner, not just a vendor.
• Clinical & Procedural Excellence: Develop a profound understanding of the procedure and technology. You will be present in the cath lab, working shoulder-to-shoulder with your Clinical Consultant counterpart to ensure every case is a success and every customer is confident.
• Drive Results with Integrity: Relentlessly pursue and achieve your sales targets. Your competitive drive is balanced by a core commitment to ethical sales practices and doing what is right for the patient, always.
• One Team, One Goal: This is a team sport. You will collaborate daily with your regional Clinical Consultant and the Strategic Marketing Manager. You will share insights, strategize on accounts together, and celebrate collective wins. Your success is the team's success.
• Market Intelligence: Be the eyes and ears of the company in your territory. You will provide critical feedback to marketing and leadership to ensure our strategy remains sharp, relevant, and effective.

The Personality We're Looking For

We hire for character and train for skill. The right person for this role will bring these attributes to the team every single day:

• Humility & Confidence: You are confident in your sales ability but never arrogant. You listen to your customers and your teammates, you learn from every interaction, and you let your results do the talking.
• A Competitive Heart: You are driven to be the best. You thrive on competition, are resilient in the face of challenges, and have a deep-seated need to win—for yourself, for the team, and for the patient.
• Unwavering Patient Focus: You understand that behind every procedure is a person. This empathy fuels your passion and ensures you act with the highest level of integrity and care. It’s your "why".
• A True Team Player: You instinctively understand that success is a shared outcome. You proactively support your Clinical and Marketing counterparts, celebrate their wins as your own, and make the entire team stronger through your presence and collaboration.
• An Owner's Mindset: You treat your territory as if it were your own business. You are proactive, accountable, and always looking for new opportunities to create value and drive growth.
