Senior Sales Excellence Manager for a leading global MedTech 

You start your day with a call to the Sales Leader in Australia, where you follow up on the progress after the sales excellence deep dive meeting you facilitated last month.  

You support and guide them through the next steps and share your views on how they can move forward.  

You then continue your work on developing our Sales Leader Insights Community, before ending the day with a quick touch point to join forces with some of our colleagues developing BI dashboards in Poland. 

This could be a day in the job as Senior Sales Excellence Manager with us. Does that sound like a day for you? Then read on.
