This position is located in Santa Clara, CA or Cincinnati, Ohio. Remote work may be considered on a case-by-case basis within the US.

Purpose:

The Senior Clinical Marketing Manager

• Bariatrics & Foregut is responsible for owning the strategy and executional enablement of intra‑specialty adoption of the Ottava Surgical System within the United States.

This role serves as the voice of the US clinician and a key orchestrator of a friction‑light, insight‑led customer journey from first evaluation through early utilization and program growth. This leader deeply understands US clinical data, practice patterns, unmet needs, and emerging procedural trends in bariatric and foregut surgery and translates that expertise into Challenger based insights, peer to peer education, and commercial narratives that teach customers to think differently about soft‑tissue robotic surgery. The role develops insight‑led, prescriptive tools that enable Sales and internal teams to guide complex customer and enterprise decision‑making in ways that leverage Ottava's unique capabilities while empowering our hospitals to successfully implement and grow their robotic programs.

You will be responsible for:

Intra‑Specialty Adoption Strategy Own the US intra specialty adoption strategy for bariatric and foregut surgery, from early evaluation through sustained utilization.

Identify and address barriers to adoption across surgeons, administrators, OR leaders, and broader hospital stakeholders. Clinical Insight & Challenger Teaching Be the subject‑matter expert on US clinical data, practice patterns, and unmet needs related to robotic bariatric and foregut surgery. Identify emerging procedural trends, shifts in care delivery, and evolving standards that impact robotic adoption. Translate insights into Challenger‑based narratives that teach customers something new and valuable, reframing problems and challenging assumptions about soft‑tissue robotics. Peer to Peer Education & Physician Engagement Define the US peer‑to‑peer education and physician‑to‑physician engagement strategy required to achieve bariatric and foregut procedural adoption and utilization targets. Shape faculty strategy, educational content, and scientific storytelling to ensure credibility, relevance, and impact. Inform conference strategy, customer events, and educational forums with specialty‑specific insight and purpose. Commercial Enablement & Sales Empowerment Partner closely with US Clinical and Capital Sales teams to understand field needs and adoption challenges. Develop insight led tools and decision‑enablement resources including Challenger messaging, clinical narratives, and customer facing content that accelerate learning, alignment, and action. Equip Sales to confidently guide complex buying groups toward Ottava adoption through structured, prescriptive conversations. Early Hospital Success & Program Growth Support early adopter hospitals with readiness, activation, early utilization, and program expansion. Deliver ongoing, insight driven resources that help customers operationalize Ottava and grow sustainable robotic programs. Act as a strategic partner to hospitals navigating change, adoption complexity, and early performance optimization. KOL Engagement & Medical Conferences Establish strong, insight driven partnerships with key customers, healthcare professionals, and industry stakeholders. Lead the bariatric and foregut specialty strategy for Ottava at US medical conferences, including defining objectives, clinical narratives, educational priorities, and success metrics in partnership with the central conference team. Cross‑Functional Leadership Serve as the primary US voice for the clinical sales team within Ottava, influencing product strategy, evidence planning, training, and downstream marketing. Collaborate across R D, Clinical, Medical Affairs, Training, Regulatory, and Commercial teams to ensure alignment to real‑world clinical needs. Advocate relentlessly for the clinician while balancing enterprise strategy and long‑term platform goals
