What’s the role?

We are seeking a driven, results-oriented ZEISS Refractive Consumable Sales Specialist to join our high-performing Refractive team. In this critical field-based role, you will be laser-focused on driving revenue growth through the increased utilization of ZEISS refractive laser consumables across a defined geographic territory. You will partner closely with our Refractive Laser Sales Representatives and Clinical Applications Specialists to own and grow key accounts, turning high-potential practices into top-performing ZEISS centers. Your success will be measured by consistent revenue growth, expanded procedure volume, and the ability to build deep, consultative relationships that position ZEISS as the clear leader in refractive surgery.

Sound Interesting?

Here’s what you’ll do:

• Own a portfolio of key refractive accounts and deliver consistent, above-plan revenue growth through the sale and increased utilization of ZEISS refractive
  consumables (SMILE, SMILE pro, LASIK flap, ICR and MEL90).

• Partner with account surgeons, practice administrators, and staff to identify
  barriers to procedure growth and implement targeted action plans that drive
  higher case volume and consumable consumption.

• Work hand-in-hand with Refractive Sales Representatives and Clinical Applications teams to deliver seamless, high-value support to customers. Co-
  develop and execute strategic account plans that align clinical excellence with
  commercial results.

• Build and maintain strong, multi-level relationships within each account. Conduct
  regular business reviews, utilization audits, and performance coaching sessions
  to ensure ZEISS is the preferred and highest-volume platform.

• Continuously monitor account performance, competitive activity, and market
  trends. Proactively surface expansion opportunities (new surgeons, additional
  lasers, practice growth initiatives) and convert them into revenue.

• Maintain a strong, visible presence in the field. Travel extensively (60–75%)
  within the territory to support live cases, conduct training, deliver in-service
  programs, and build personal relationships with key decision-makers.

• Provide accurate, timely forecasts and pipeline updates. Track and report key
  performance metrics (utilization rates, revenue per account, case growth) in CRM
  and monthly business reviews.

Do you qualify?

• Bachelor’s degree preferred (Business, Life Sciences, or related field preferred) or equivalent experience.

• Minimum 3–5 years of successful medical device sales experience, ideally in ophthalmology, refractive surgery, or capital equipment/consumables.

• Proven track record of growing utilization and driving revenue in complex, relationship-driven accounts.

• Experience calling on refractive surgeons, practice administrators, and optometric co-management networks is highly preferred.

• Exceptional account management and consultative selling skills.

• Strong business acumen with the ability to analyze utilization data and build compelling growth plans.

• High energy, resilience, and a farming mentality.

• Outstanding verbal and written communication skills.

• Ability to thrive in a team environment while maintaining individual
  accountability
