This is a high-growth therapy, backed by large-scale clinical trials and with potential upcoming guideline updates, offering a unique opportunity to make a meaningful impact on patient lives.

To strengthen our presence in France, we are hiring a **Therapy Awareness Representative** to focus on the Paris and North France region.

**Your new role**

As a Therapy Awareness Representative, you will be the driving force behind the development and adoption of WATCHMAN in your region. Your focus will be on **building referral networks** and creating awareness of this innovative therapy among physicians and healthcare professionals beyond the cath lab. By engaging with cardiologists, GPs, neurologists, gastroenterologists, and other key stakeholders, you will help structure and standardize the patient pathway, ultimately improving outcomes and quality of life for patients at risk of stroke.

Key responsibilities include:

**Our ideal new colleague**

We are looking for a professional with both **clinical understanding** and **commercial acumen**, ideally experienced in engaging with the same type of stakeholders as in pharmaceutical referral-building roles (e.g. anticoagulants, stroke prevention, cardiology). We know purple cows don’t exist, but we do have a thing or two on our wish lists:

- Proven experience (minimum 2-4 years) in **sales, medical liaison, or therapy development/awareness roles**, preferably in pharmaceuticals or MedTech.
- Excellent knowledge of the Italian healthcare system and **cardiology**.
- Clinical background or strong experience in therapy education.
- Excellent communication and influencing skills - able to build trust with a wide variety of healthcare professionals.
- Independent, self-driven, and collaborative, with the ability to work cross-functionally.
- Fluent in** Italian** (mandatory) and comfortable in **English** for international collaboration.

**Your why**

This is a unique opportunity to join a high-growth therapy area with strong clinical evidence and exciting prospects ahead. In this role, you will see the direct impact of your work on patient lives, helping to prevent strokes and reduce bleeding risks for thousands of people. You will operate in an environment that combines the **stability and global reach of Boston Scientific** with the **entrepreneurial spirit of a fast-growing therapy**. Working closely with colleagues across sales, clinical, and marketing, you will have the resources, autonomy, and support to shape the local adoption of WATCHMAN and to grow along with it.

If you are passionate about driving clinical adoption, building referral networks, and being at the forefront of a market-leading therapy, we’d love to hear from you.
