At CMR Surgical, we're revolutionising the future of minimal access surgery with Versius, our next-generation surgical robotic system. We're growing fast, and we’re on a mission to transform how surgery is delivered globally—for the benefit of patients, clinicians, and healthcare systems.

Our values—Ambitious, Humble, People-Focused, and Fair & Responsible—define our approach to innovation, partnership, and growth. If you believe in making a meaningful difference in healthcare and want to be part of a purpose-driven company with bold ambitions, now is the time to join us.

• Monitor the ongoing success of the robotic programme through carrying out regular internal business reviews, and Versius Service Delivery Reviews in your accounts, involving the appropriate CMR stakeholders when required, sharing these with the relevant stakeholders, and promptly suggesting and implementing corrective and preventative actions.
• Support the uptake of the digital ecosystem in your accounts.
• Deliver the training modules as per agreed plans, guiding new surgical teams through their initial learning curve with Versius, developing and executing on expansion plans, while transmitting feedback to the Professional Education Lead.
• Support the sales and management team with internal planning and forecasting processes, as and when required, producing and contributing to Versius system utilization reports.
• Events & Networking: participate in educational, marketing and sales related activities and events when needed, and support the capital sales team during the pre-implementation projects as required. Take initiative and lead on account related events in collaboration with the hospital.
• Cross-functional Collaboration: work with internal teams (marketing, clinical, finance, legal, etc.) to deliver clinical growth related proposals in collaboration with finance and procurement NHS teams, aligning with the compliance pathways.
• CRM & Sales Tools: Use Salesforce and other commercial tools to record account plans, track activity and progress, drive engagement, and ensure visibility across internal stakeholders.
