Mountain Region US

We are conducting a highly selective search for Market Development Directors (MDDs) to join the stealth commercial team of a disruptive medical device company. This is a ground-floor opportunity to help launch a next-generation endoscopic suturing platform in the U.S.

The MDD role is not a traditional sales manager position—it’s a builder role. You’ll own a multi-state territory, drive adoption among Interventional GIs and Bariatric Surgeons, and help shape the culture and strategy of a company set for rapid scale.

 

About the Opportunity

Our client is preparing for the U.S. launch of a second-generation endoscopic suturing device that transforms Endoscopic Sleeve Gastroplasty (ESG), one of the fastest-growing bariatric procedures.

• Economic edge: Complete three ESG procedures in the time competitors can do one.
• Market impact: A disruptive alternative to traditional bariatric surgery and GLP-1 therapy, positioned for fast adoption.
• Timing: FDA approval expected in November, with commercialization to follow.

This is not just another quota-carrying role—it’s a chance to build markets, open new sites, and drive adoption from the ground up.

 

What You’ll Do

• Drive adoption and procedure growth among Interventional GIs and Bariatric Surgeons.
• Originate new sites—hospitals and ASCs—through labs, site activations, and referral development.
• Act as a builder-player: a senior individual contributor with the mindset of a strategic market leader.
• Manage pipeline with rigor, ensuring accurate forecasting and visibility.
• Travel up to 80% to meet decision-makers, surgeons, and staff across your multi-state region.

What You Bring

• Experience: 5+ years of success in medical device or capital equipment sales, ideally with disruptive technology in a growth-stage company.
• Hunter mindset: Entrepreneurial, resilient, and proactive in building a pipeline from scratch.
• Strategic skillset: Comfortable selling off-contract, structuring local hospital/ASC agreements.
• Team-first orientation: Collaborative, mission-driven, not a lone wolf.
• Communication: Strong presence with both surgeons and administrators; credible, persuasive, and polished.
• Travel readiness: Must embrace extensive multi-state travel.

Target Locations:

We are seeking candidates in:

• North Central: Chicago, Milwaukee, Detroit, Cincinnati

We will also consider exceptional candidates from other U.S. regions, provided you meet all qualifications listed above.

Why Join?

• Impact: Represent a transformative solution that improves patient outcomes and provider efficiency.
• Ground floor: Shape the culture, commercial model, and growth trajectory of a company entering the U.S. market.
• Collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with clinical and commercial teammates invested in adoption success.
• Compensation: Competitive package—base salary $160–180K with OTE $280–300K and upside potential to $320–350K. Year 1 comp emphasizes MBOs (labs, activations, procedures) over pure revenue.
