Responsibilities

• Develop, communicate, and execute the national NCT sales strategy for the United States. Translate corporate and category priorities into a three-year strategic plan, annual operating plan, market-development priorities, regional execution plans, resource requirements, and measurable revenue, profitability, market-share, and installed-base growth objectives.
• Lead, coach, and hold accountable the national NCT sales organization through Area Sales Directors and other sales leaders. Establish clear performance expectations, optimize organizational design and territory coverage, deploy resources against the highest-value opportunities, and build a high-accountability culture focused on customer success, collaboration, integrity, and continuous improvement.

• Identify and prioritize profitable growth opportunities using market intelligence, installed-base data, competitive analysis, customer insights, and account segmentation. Guide the organization in developing executive business cases, clinical and economic value propositions, strategic account plans, and technology road maps that position Dräger as a long-term NCT partner.
• Execute all talent and financial management responsibilities for the national NCT business, including workforce planning, recruiting, onboarding, succession planning, performance management, capability development, recognition, change leadership, operating budget and stewardship expense, and compliance with delegated authority.
