About the role
We are seeking a highly motivated Field Clinical & Product Specialist to support clinical adoption and commercialization of our innovative spinal technologies.
This role will initially be engaged as an independent contractor (1099). The engagement can evolve into a full-time employment opportunity as the company expands its U.S. footprint, subject to mutual agreement.
During the clinical phase, you will provide on-site clinical support, including procedural support in the operating room (OR), product training for physicians and staff, and support of clinical trial activities in accordance with applicable regulatory and quality requirements. You will collaborate with investigators and clinical sites while operating as an independent field resource.
As we move into commercialization, the engagement may evolves into a product specialist role supporting product launches, training activities, and ongoing clinical and technical support.
This is a field-based role requiring travel and presence in clinical settings. The ideal candidate is entrepreneurial, operates independently, and is comfortable managing their own schedule and priorities while building strong relationships with surgeons, interventional radiologists, and hospital stakeholders.
