A candidate with strong IP experience and also who has managed a successful process that scales up

As the result of the delocalisation of the present Sales Director EMEA to head up the US sales, the
company have decided to search for an experienced sales leader of Medical Devices Capital
Equipment to replace him. The position would ideally be based in Belgium, but other locations are
possible as extensive travel across the region is envisaged for the Sales Director EMEA. The position
reports directly into the Executive Vice President Global Sales who is located in the company’s
headquarters and will lead a team of two European Sales Managers with responsibilities for North
and South of Europe.
The Sales Director EMEA will not only define and execute a regional commercial strategy and lead a
team but will also be involved regularly in the field with the sales managers making high level
compelling presentations to senior hospital management executives in support of business being
initiated and concluded. This is not a desk bound position but one which will require extensive
regular travel working with key opinion leaders and lobbying with decision gate keepers.
