For Employers
Hire a Sales Director (Medical Device)
Sales directors succeed when they build systems—hiring standards, coaching cadence, and forecast truth—not when they only inherit a book. Hire for leadership that fits your specialty lane.
Team building
Hiring and coaching compound faster than heroics.
Forecast truth
Directors reduce surprises late in the quarter.
Specialty execution
Lane fluency beats generic “sales leadership.”
What strong directors deliver
- Build and coach a specialty sales organization—not only manage activity
- Install forecast discipline and pipeline hygiene across managers
- Hire and ramp reps with specialty-fit standards
- Protect key accounts while expanding coverage
- Partner with marketing, clinical, and ops on launches and conversions
Interview prompts
- Describe how you run forecast reviews with managers.
- Tell me about a hiring miss—what did you change in your process?
- How do you coach an RSM who avoids tough rep conversations?
- Walk me through a specialty launch or conversion you led commercially.
- How do you balance national strategy with territory reality?
Signals to weigh heavily
- Evidence of developing managers or high performers—not only personal book growth
- Forecast stories grounded in process, not optimism
- Clear specialty fluency for your portfolio (ortho, cardio, capital, etc.)
- Comfortable making talent calls and exiting underperformance
- Can describe a turnaround with metrics and people moves
