JOB TITLE: Market Development Director, Non-Acute Healthcare

REPORTS TO: Vice President, Commercial

LOCATION: Remote (preferably Northeast based) with national call-points

POSITION SUMMARY

The Market Development Director, Non-Acute Healthcare, is responsible for the company's overall commercial strategy and execution of the product portfolio offering in the designated market segment throughout the USA. This includes identifying new geographic, clinical, and product markets, new customers, and new distributor partnerships to drive overall growth in the segment nationally. This role requires a strong entrepreneurial spirit and strategic thinking to accomplish these objectives while also working cross functionally with product development, supply chain and other departments to achieve growth goals.

In addition to the strategic development of the segment, this role is also responsible for executing the strategy by calling on non-acute points of care to sell Spectra's portfolio of products (i.e. a Player/Coach role), throughout the USA. This primarily includes orthopedic, neuro-spine and physical medicine office-based practitioners, and will also include dermatology, plastic surgery, sports medicine, and other non-acute settings with demand for Spectra's portfolio of pain management products.

As the pain management market shifts away from opioids towards radio frequency (RF) and other procedure-based treatments to control chronic pain, the company is under-penetrated and poised for strong growth in the segment. Spectra's product portfolio currently includes a variety of procedural needles, including RF ablation needles, energy delivery devices and other related accessories, plus an array of associated pharmaceuticals. Additionally, the product portfolio is expected to expand through this role as new market needs are identified. This role requires cold calling, multi-touch nurturing to establish client relationships with key decision makers.
