Position Summary:

The Area Sales Representative (ASR) is the front end of the region's revenue engine —building and qualifying the pipeline that Area Sales Managers (ASMs) convert into System placements. Reporting to the Area Sales Director (ASD), and working alongside a second ASR in support of the region's seven (7) ASMs, the ASR identifies hospitals and health systems with the interventional radiology, hepatobiliary surgery, and surgical oncology volume to support program; builds early relationships with physicians, administrators, and other stakeholders; and hands off well-qualified, well-documented accounts to the ASM team. The ASR also coordinates with the region's Account Managers (AMs) so that accounts move smoothly from prospecting through capital sale and into post-sale program launch and utilization growth — connecting the full customer lifecycle from first contact to clinical adoption.

Position Expectations:

• Conduct discovery conversations to understand each account's clinical workflows, capital acquisition process, and decision-making structure.
• Partner with assigned ASMs to prioritize the highest-potential accounts, share complete stakeholder and clinical context, and jointly track deal progression from lead to qualified opportunity.
• Maintain a live, accurate pipeline and territory plan for each supported ASM, and report pipeline health and prospecting metrics to the ASD on a regular cadence.
• Coordinate with Account Managers (AMs) on newly closed accounts to ensure a smooth handoff into program launch, physician training, and utilization growth.
• Help identify potential key opinion leaders (KOLs) and centers of excellence for future reference sites and speaker development, feeding candidates to the AM team.
• Support trade shows, regional conferences, and other business development and educational activities to build the region's referral network.
• Develop and maintain working clinical, technical, and business knowledge of therapy and the System to speak credibly with prospective customers.
• Comply with all regulatory and guidelines for pre- and post-commercialization activities
