Robotics Development Manager

Robotics Development Manager (Michigan, Ohio, Kentucky)

Life Unlimited. At Smith+Nephew we design and manufacture technology that takes the limits off living.

What will you be doing?

As the Robotics Development Manager (RDM), you will be responsible for guiding surgeons and recon teams through the CORI robotics clinical sales conversion pathway in ASCs and hospitals within your specific region. You will serve as a strategic and clinical robotics sales support function for the Recon VP, RVP(s), Directors of Sales, and Distribution Executives. Focused on ASCs and hospitals, your position will emphasize clinical sales, project management, and addressing the current market dynamics and business conditions that require a stronger focus on clinical selling and surgeon champion development initiatives.

Your responsibilities will align with three key areas that support regional strategies: Sales Execution, Surgeon Champion Development, and Key Account Engagement. Through these efforts, you will play a vital role in driving the adoption and success of CORI Robotics in your region.

Sales Execution:

Your responsibilities focus on achieving sales success in assigned territories, meeting or exceeding annual sales and utilization quotas. You collaborate with AVPs, Directors of Sales, Distributor Executives, and Recon representatives to drive the clinical adoption of CORI Robotics and achieve utilization growth targets in your region. You work closely with Recon field teams to identify new surgeon targets for CORI Robotics and ensure these targets are optimally managed in the CRM. Regular updates on the progress of active surgeon champion development projects are provided during recurring sales funnel calls, and you deliver accurate monthly and quarterly capital sales forecasts in collaboration with the ABD and RBD.

Surgeon Champion Development:

You play a key role in educating, supporting, and training Recon teams on clinical sales in your region. As the quarterback of the clinical sales pathway, you guide surgeon targets from their introduction to the post-conversion phase of CORI Robotics. This involves leading detailed CORI demonstrations, answering sophisticated technical questions, and coordinating the delivery of excellent saw bone labs. Additionally, you help coordinate and attend Visiting Surgeon Programs, regional and local CORI training labs, and certifications, ensuring a smooth pre-sale clinical validation process in partnership with the RIC team in your territory. You also collaborate with Clinical teams, Recon field reps, and Customer Program Managers to coordinate new CORI account launches, facilitating a flawless and successful transition.

Key Account Engagement:

In support of Key Account Management initiatives, you focus on increasing certifications and utilization within key accounts across your region. You develop and maintain strong clinical relationships with key customers and prospect accounts identified by AVPs, Directors of Sales, and Distribution Executives. By collaborating with surgeons and Recon teams, you strengthen your organization’s position at key CORI accounts and drive sustained growth and success.
