Business Operations and Execution Manager, iMRI

The Business Operations and Execution Manager (BOEM) Europe is a key member of the iMRI commercialization team and is responsible for driving procedural adoption and supporting capital equipment sales efforts. This role focuses on guiding healthcare providers and key decision-makers through the adoption process of Cook Medical's iMRI suite, ensuring clinical confidence, operational readiness, and alignment with institutional needs.

The BOEM is not a traditional medical sales rep but a clinical expert within a sales organization, responsible for understanding account dynamics and helping move customers from interest to acquisition. This role requires a blend of clinical knowledge, sales acumen and account strategy, particularly in capital equipment sales.

This role collaborates closely with Siemens, Marketing, Business Operations, and external partners to target key accounts, refine value messaging and drive purchasing decisions. While the BOEM supports procedural adoption and clinical education, dedicated Education & Training teams within Centers of Excellence will lead hands-on training.
