Why this is worth applying to
Worth considering only for clinicians who already have substantial medical device or commercial sales leadership experience; most clinicians would find the experience barrier too high for a career pivot.
Who should apply
Cardiac surgery or cardiology-trained clinicians with prior medical device sales, commercial strategy, or hospital account leadership experience; sales leaders in structural heart or cardiac surgery devices seeking regional VP scope.
CV angle
Frame real cardiac surgery or structural heart clinical exposure as customer insight and clinical credibility, but lead with quantified commercial leadership, regional sales results, account expansion, contract negotiation, and team development. Do not imply sales achievements not held; bridge clinical advisory, KOL engagement, and cross-functional work into business language.
Skills to highlight
- Cardiac surgery and structural heart clinical knowledge
- Regional sales strategy
- Sales team leadership and coaching
- Account expansion and market penetration
- Contract negotiation
- Profitability and cost management
- Talent development and succession planning
- Market and competitive analysis
Role summary
A senior regional sales leadership role for Abbott’s cardiac surgery and structural heart business, responsible for hitting revenue and profitability targets, growing hospital accounts, managing sales and clinical field teams, negotiating contracts, and developing talent.
