Location: Milan or other major cities in Northern or Central Italy, with good connection to airports.

Similar job titles: Therapy Development, Therapy Awareness, Medical/Pharmaceutical Sales Representative, Territory/Account Manager (Pharma-related), Product Specialist or Medical Science Liaison.

Boston Scientific is shaping the future of stroke prevention with WATCHMAN, our next-generation left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) device. 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 Italy, we are hiring a Therapy Awareness Representative to focus on the whole national territory, particularly in the North and Center. This is a field-based role with strong collaboration across sales, clinical, and marketing teams. You will operate in a start-up-like environment with dedicated budget for local initiatives, while being part of a global leader in MedTech.

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:

• Referral network development – identify, map, and prioritize referral networks; ensure stakeholders understand when and how to refer patients for LAAC therapy.
• Education & training – organize and deliver educational programs, workshops, and hospital meetings to raise awareness of WATCHMAN.
• Stakeholder engagement – build strong partnerships with physicians, hospital administrators, and medical societies to increase adoption.
• Field presence – spend the majority of your time meeting customers in the field, understanding their needs, and supporting them with tailored solutions.
• Collaboration – work hand-in-hand with local sales teams, the Regional Sales Manager, and the Clinical Sales Reps to align strategies and achieve business goals.
• Market development – contribute to shaping the therapy awareness plan, leveraging local budget and initiatives, and ensuring Italy is ready for upcoming product launches and clinical milestones.

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.
