Responsibilities
Role Overview
The Senior Manager, Downstream Marketing – Fertility Solutions, North America will lead commercial strategy for future product launches across capital equipment, service offerings, and software solutions in the fertility market. This individual will serve as the bridge between customers, sales, global product teams, service, software, finance, and executive leadership to ensure new solutions are launched with clear market insight, strong positioning, compelling economic value, and full sales team readiness.

The successful candidate will bring the intensity, judgment, and customer credibility of a top-performing sales professional, combined with the strategic mindset of a marketing leader.
