We are looking for a Sales Associate to join our Surgical Technologies Sales team covering South & Midlands of the UK.

Working closely with an experienced Regional Sales Manager, you will develop and foster strong relationships with key opinion leaders. You will take an active part in customer education, supporting the Regional Sales Representatives to achieve greater customer engagement and commercial success with our newly launched Neptune Portfolio.
