Rare National Leadership Opportunity | Medical Devices

Based in Auckland, Wellington or Christchurch

• Rare opportunity to move into a national orthopaedic sales leadership role
• Join a highly regarded global medical technology organisation
• $140,000–$150,000 base salary plus commission

Opportunities at this level within the New Zealand orthopaedic market do not come up often.

We are looking for an exceptional orthopaedic sales professional who has established a strong reputation in the market, consistently delivered outstanding results and is ready for greater responsibility.

You may already be leading a sales team.

Or, you may be one of the strongest performers in your current organisation – someone others naturally look to, who has the commercial credibility, presence and ability to bring people with them.

For the right person, this could be an outstanding next career move.

The Opportunity

This is a national sales leadership position with a highly regarded global medical technology organisation.

Working alongside an experienced senior leader, you will be responsible for an established orthopaedics sales team, with a strong focus on commercial performance, people development and customer engagement.

This is much more than managing numbers.

We are looking for someone who understands what exceptional performance looks like in orthopaedics and can create the environment for others to perform at that level as well.

You will:

• Lead, coach and engage an experienced sales team
• Drive commercial performance and sustainable growth
• Build strong relationships with key customers and clinical stakeholders
• Develop capability, accountability and performance across the team
• Work collaboratively across different teams and business units
• Maintain a strong understanding of the orthopaedic market and competitive environment
• Bring energy, credibility and sound commercial judgement to the wider business

About You

Orthopaedic sales experience is essential.

You will have built a strong track record selling within the orthopaedic market and understand the hospital, theatre and surgeon environment.

We are particularly interested in people who can demonstrate:

• Consistently strong sales performance within orthopaedics
• Excellent commercial acumen
• Credibility with surgeons and senior clinical stakeholders
• The ability to influence, engage and motivate others
• Strong relationship-building and communication skills
• A collaborative approach and ability to work across a broader business
• Natural leadership capability
• High personal standards and a genuine commitment to what you do

Previous formal people-management experience would be advantageous, but it is not essential.

If you are an exceptional senior orthopaedic sales professional who has demonstrated leadership capability and is ready to step into a broader role, we would particularly like to hear from you.

What’s on Offer

• A rare opportunity to move into national sales leadership
• An established and highly regarded global medical technology organisation
• The opportunity to lead within a specialist market you already know well
• Strong leadership, development and support
• $140,000–$150,000 base salary plus commission
• Genuine longer-term career opportunity

This is a national role and travel will be required.

Applicants must be based in New Zealand and hold appropriate New Zealand working rights – New Zealand Citizenship, Residency or an eligible Partnership Visa.

Due to the volume of applications, we will only be able to respond to candidates who meet the key criteria for this position, including proven orthopaedic sales experience.
