This role is for someone hungry to learn, relentless in their work ethic, and motivated by being part of a winning team. Prior sales or product experience is not essential — attitude, ownership, and effort are.

• Build strong, trusted relationships with clinicians and hospital stakeholders
• Maintain a relentless customer and patient focus
• Learn and support the capital sales process
• Identify and develop opportunities in new and existing accounts
• Go above and beyond for customers and teammates — consistently
• Deliver product education to ensure safe and effective product use
• Support and execute the UK Orthopaedic Instruments strategy

Who we’re looking for

• Hungry, resilient, high-integrity team players who take ownership and deliver
• Individuals with a strong work ethic who don’t need to be chased
• People who challenge themselves, learn quickly, and improve fast
• Collaborative contributors who listen, share ideas, and back their teammates
• Confident communicators who build meaningful internal and external relationships
• Ambitious self-starters aligned with Stryker’s mission and values
• Customer-focused professionals who earn trust through consistency and effort

What you’ll need

• Degree in science or business (preferred, not essential) or equivalent experience
• Some exposure to sales or commercial environments (helpful, not required)
• A coachable mindset with a strong sense of accountability
• Clear drive to succeed and develop
• Alignment with Stryker’s values: Integrity, Accountability, People, Performance
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills
• English language proficiency
• Full UK driving license

What we offer

You can expect a competitive salary, performance bonus, company car, phone, laptop, iPad, and comprehensive health and dental benefits — alongside structured development and clear progression opportunities.
