• Facilitate sharing of best practices across countries and teams, enhancing alignment and performance.
• Support capital pipeline visibility, talent assessment, and territory planning efforts to strengthen execution at the local level.
• Engage regularly with regional sales leaders, providing guidance and insights to inform local strategies and drive accountability.
• Represent Europe in discussions with the global BU team, ensuring alignment between European needs and global direction.
• Participate in demand planning and support key commercial projects to improve operational efficiency and market access.

What We Are Looking For

• Proven commercial acumen with experience in strategy, analytics, or sales operations.
• Background in the medical device industry is strongly preferred.
• Ability to influence stakeholders without direct authority and work effectively in a matrixed environment.
• Strong analytical mindset with the ability to interpret complex data and develop clear strategic recommendations.
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills across multiple functions and geographies.
• Fluency in English is required; additional European languages are a plus.
