We are hiring a Principal Product Specialist to lead the regional execution and support of our Interventional Pain Therapies portfolio—including radiofrequency ablation and vertebral augmentation technologies across key international (OUS) markets.
This therapy-focused role will be instrumental in accelerating clinical adoption and driving therapy confidence through close collaboration with global teams, physician stakeholders, and regional customer marketing partners. You will serve as the go-to expert for therapy strategy development, implementation, and procedural education, playing a critical role in expanding access to minimally invasive pain management solutions.

* Develop unit (product/service) forecasts in collaboration with all geographies, provide inputs to finance teams for the Annual Operating Plan (AOP), and support inventory management, training needs, and continuous improvement opportunities for the field team.
* Incorporate market insights—including intelligence and competitive analysis—to inform demand forecasts for global and regional reviews, develop regional pricing strategies with the pricing team, and collaborate with local pricing teams to set list, target, and floor prices.
* Support quality tasks as needed (complaint management, recall issues), develop robust phase-in/phase-out plans, and reflect these in IBP to ensure product continuity, demand, and inventory management.
* Create and maintain marketing collateral to support marketing programs.
* Provide input on pricing and discounting strategies, support pricing governance, and provide product or informational overviews to customers in support of contracts or tenders.
