It started with a simple idea: what if surgery could be less invasive and recovery less painful? Nearly 30 years later, that question still fuels everything we do at **Intuitive**. As a global leader in **robotic-assisted surgery** and **minimally invasive care** , our technologies—like the **da Vinci surgical system** and **Ion** —have transformed how care is delivered for millions of patients worldwide.
We’re a team of engineers, clinicians, and innovators united by one purpose: to make surgery smarter, safer, and more human. Every day, our work helps care teams perform with greater precision and patients recover faster, improving outcomes around the world.
The problems we solve demand creativity, rigor, and collaboration. The work is challenging, but deeply meaningful—because every improvement we make has the potential to change a life.
If you’re ready to contribute to something bigger than yourself and help **transform the future of healthcare** , you’ll find your purpose here.
The Senior Market Development Manager is a market-facing commercial leader for **new indications and platforms** — operating across the full spectrum from product development through early commercialization. This role defines and executes early go-to-market strategy, ensures the commercial perspective informs upstream decisions, and builds the market infrastructure required for successful future Intuitive launches.
This role is deeply integrated with **engineering, product, clinical, regulatory, and corporate strategy teams** in both existing business units and future forward— serving as the commercial anchor in cross-functional forums and embedding market insight into the earliest stages of indication and product development. Success requires equal fluency and trust in the external market and the internal development cycle.
The Senior Market Development Manager works directly with **physicians, hospital executives, payers, and societies** to identify unmet needs and shape clinical and commercial strategy. Where markets must be created rather than captured, this role is tasked with designing strategies to shift **patient pathways, referral patterns, and clinical beliefs** to unlock demand and accelerate commercial success.
