About this opportunity

In partnership with our Medtech client, we are building a team of Associate Territory Representative.  This role is an entry point into medical device sales for a proven, high-energy B2B sales professional ready to build a career in healthcare. This is a pure hunter role. You will spend your days in the field calling on outpatient urology, urogynecology, and other associated outpatient clinics, building relationships with physicians, advanced practice providers, and clinic staff, and driving prescriptions of intermittent catheters and Urinary Management Systems.

You will not inherit a book of business. You will build one. Success in this role comes from disciplined prospecting, high call volume, strong clinical messaging (we will teach you the clinical side), and the persistence to turn a first conversation into a prescribing relationship. Associate Territory Representatives who perform have a clear path to full Territory Manager roles and beyond.

What You'll Do

Prospect, target, and call on outpatient urology and urogynecology clinics across your assigned geography

Educate physicians, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, and clinic staff on the clinical and patient benefits of products

Drive new prescription volume by converting prescribers and expanding usage within existing accounts

Build and manage a territory pipeline, maintaining accurate activity and opportunity data in the CRM

Execute in-clinic education, product demonstrations, and follow-up with clinical staff

Meet or exceed monthly and quarterly sales activity and revenue targets

Operate your territory like a business: plan routes, prioritize targets, and manage your expense budget responsibly

Who We're Looking For

You don't need medical or clinical experience. You need a track record of winning in a professional, metrics-driven sales environment and the drive to outwork the competition.

Required: Bachelor's degree

Required: Valid driver's license and ability to travel daily within the territory

Strongly preferred:

Experience at companies known for world-class sales training and development, such as ADP, Enterprise, Cintas, Paychex, Xerox, or similar

Highly preferred 2–4 years of B2B sales experience with a demonstrated record of quota achievement

Hunter mentality: comfortable with cold outreach, gatekeepers, and long sales cycles

Coachable, competitive, and accountable, you own your numbers and own your results

Strong verbal communication and the professional presence to earn credibility with physicians

Compensation & Benefits

$100,000+ total compensation, at sales goal target

Uncapped bonus potential to earn beyond $100K with top performance

$750 per month car allowance + gas card

Comprehensive healthcare and other employee benefits

A strong entry point into the medical sales industry

Why This Role

Medical device sales is one of the most competitive and rewarding career paths in sales, and most companies require prior industry experience to get in. This role is the exception: we hire for sales DNA and train the rest. If you have built your foundation at a company with a demanding, professional sales culture and you are ready to bet on yourself in healthcare, this is your entry point.

How we calculate "similar"

No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.

Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.

Unmatched or unknown dimensions score exactly the same: 0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
