Senior Market Development Manager- Novel GYN Innovation

Senior Market Development Manager
- Novel GYN Innovation

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.
