Managing Director

The company:


Zartis is a global technology consulting and engineering partner helping businesses unlock the power of AI and digital innovation. We work with ambitious organisations across healthcare, financial services, and other highly regulated industries to design, build, and scale solutions that deliver real-world impact.


Our teams bring deep expertise in AI-driven platforms, secure API architectures, and cloud-native engineering, with a proven track record in helping companies accelerate adoption of cutting-edge technologies. From strategy and discovery to full product delivery, we enable our clients to turn complex challenges into measurable outcomes.


With deep technical expertise across Europe and a track record of long-term partnerships with health diagnostics leaders, behavioral health innovators, and connected care platforms, we don't just deliver technology — we deliver business impact.


Role:


As Commercial Director for MedTech, you will own and scale Zartis's commercial presence in the healthcare technology sector. This is a senior, strategic role requiring both commercial acumen and the ability to operate as a trusted advisor to C-suite executives.


You'll be joining at a pivotal growth stage — our MedTech experience includes partnerships with leaders in diagnostics, telemedicine, primary care platforms, behavioral health solutions, and connected medical devices. Now, we need someone who can accelerate that momentum, open new doors, and convert complex opportunities into long-term strategic relationships.


This role is ideal for someone who:

  • Has spent years building relationships at the intersection of technology and healthcare.
  • Thrives in consultative, high-stakes environments where trust and credibility matter more than speed.
  • Knows how to navigate procurement complexities, clinical stakeholder dynamics, and regulatory considerations.
  • Wants ownership — not just of a sales target, but of a market strategy.


You'll work closely with our Growth, Delivery, and Engineering teams, but this is your practice to build. If you have the network, the experience, and the ambition to establish Zartis as a go-to partner in MedTech innovation, this is the role for you.


What You Will Do:


  • Lead the development and execution of Zartis’ commercial strategy in MedTech, ensuring strong market positioning and sustainable growth.
  • Lead consultative engagements with C-suite executives to understand complex business challenges and co-create technology-enabled solutions.
  • Leverage and expand your existing network within the MedTech/healthcare ecosystem to generate qualified opportunities and strategic introductions
  • Act as a trusted advisor to clients, positioning Zartis as a strategic partner rather than a vendor.
  • Support the planning and delivery of client-facing events, including roundtables, executive dinners, and workshops designed to deepen relationships and showcase capabilities.
  • Provide subject matter expertise for thought leadership content, including blog posts, whitepapers, webinars, and case studies that position Zartis in the MedTech market.
  • Drive revenue growth through new business acquisition, strategic partnerships, and expansion into target MedTech segments.
  • Own the full sales cycle and craft compelling MedTech-specific value propositions across Zartis’ services.
  • Identify market trends, competitive dynamics, and new commercial opportunities in areas such as AI, data, integrations, and compliance-driven software development.
  • Collaborate closely with Account Management, Hiring, Tech Leadership, and C-level stakeholders to shape proposals, advance opportunities, close strategic deals, and ensure a seamless transition to delivery teams.
  • Partner with Delivery, Engineering, and Regulatory experts to ensure feasibility, compliance, and excellence in solution delivery.
  • Manage forecasting, budgeting, pricing strategies, and commercial performance metrics.


What You Will Bring:


  • 10+ years of senior commercial leadership experience (Commercial Director, Head of Commercial, VP Sales, or similar).
  • Established network of senior relationships within MedTech (C-suite, VPs of Engineering, CTOs, Chief Medical Officers, etc.).
  • Proven consultative selling methodology - ability to diagnose business problems, ask insightful questions, and craft solutions rather than simply sell services.
  • Experience in navigating long, complex sales cycles typical in healthcare
  • Experience in selling professional services or consulting (not just products) in highly regulated environments.
  • Active participation in healthcare/MedTech industry groups, associations, or advisory boards.
  • Strong understanding of MedTech market dynamics, including regulatory frameworks (MDR, FDA, HIPAA, GDPR), and procurement processes.
  • Proven track record of driving revenue growth, winning new business, expanding into new markets, and establishing strategic partnerships.
  • Exceptional communication, negotiation, and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to engage C-suite and senior technical leaders.
  • Strategic and analytical mindset with the ability to convert market insights, customer needs, and competitive intelligence into actionable commercial strategies.
  • Experience owning commercial performance, including P&L, forecasting, budgeting, pricing, and related metrics.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams, including Delivery, Engineering, Account Management, and Hiring stakeholders.


Nice to Have:


  • Experience in working with AI-driven MedTech organisations.
  • Experience in public procurement and competitive tendering processes.
  • Experience in using AI tooling for business process efficiency.
  • Speaking engagements or published thought leadership in MedTech.
  • Board advisory or non-executive director experience in healthcare.
  • Previous experience at a recognised consultancy, systems integrator, or professional services firm.


Your Ideal Background Might Include:


  • Former roles at firms like: Accenture Health, Deloitte Digital Health, IQVIA, Cognizant Healthcare, or similar.
  • Track record of closing deals £500K-£5M+ in contract value.
  • Experience building commercial function from ground up or scaling into new markets.


What we offer:


  • Hybrid Working Model
  • WFH allowance: Monthly payment as financial support for remote working.
  • Career Growth
  • Training: Access to training opportunities.
  • Mentoring Program: You can become a mentor in Zartis, or you can receive mentorship, or both.
  • Zartis Wellbeing Hub (Kara Connect): A platform that provides sessions with a range of specialists, including mental health professionals, nutritionists, physiotherapists, fitness coaches, and webinars with such professionals as well.
  • Multicultural working environment: We organise tech events, webinars, parties, and activities, including online team-building games and contests.

How Many Medical Technology Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Medical Technology Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in medical technology, it can feel like the toolkit is endlessly long: imaging systems, data analysis software, regulatory platforms, testing frameworks, prototyping tools, CAD, quality management systems, signal processing libraries and more. Scroll job boards or LinkedIn, and it’s easy to think you need to know every tool under the sun just to secure an interview. Here’s the honest truth most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you understand the underlying principles and can apply the right tool in the right context to solve real problems. Tools matter — absolutely — but they are secondary to problem-solving ability, clinical awareness, engineering rigour and the ability to deliver safe, reliable solutions. So how many medical technology tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is far fewer than you think. This article explains what employers really want, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look confident, competent and end-game ready.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Medical Technology Job Applications (UK Guide)

Medical technology (MedTech) is one of the most dynamic and high-impact sectors in the UK — spanning medical devices, diagnostics, digital health, AI-assisted systems, wearables, imaging, robotics and clinical software. At the same time, hiring managers are exceptionally selective because MedTech roles demand technical excellence, regulated safety awareness, clinical context and cross-disciplinary collaboration. Whether you’re applying for roles in R&D, engineering, quality & regulatory, clinical validation, product management or software development for medical systems, hiring managers don’t read every word of your CV. They scan it quickly — often deciding within the first 10–20 seconds whether to continue reading. This guide breaks down exactly what hiring managers look for first in medical technology applications — and how you can make your CV, portfolio and cover letter stand out in the UK market.

The Skills Gap in Medical Technology Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Medical technology — also known as medtech — is transforming healthcare. Innovations in diagnostics, imaging, wearable sensors, robotics, telehealth, digital therapeutics and advanced prosthetics are improving outcomes and saving lives. As the UK’s National Health Service (NHS) modernises and a thriving life sciences sector expands, demand for medtech professionals is growing rapidly. Yet employers across the UK consistently report a frustrating problem: many graduates are not ready for real medtech jobs. Despite strong academic credentials, candidates often lack the practical, interdisciplinary skills needed to contribute effectively from day one. This is not a question of effort or intelligence. It is a widening skills gap between university education and the applied demands of medical technology roles. This article explores that gap in depth — what universities are teaching well, where programmes fall short, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build thriving careers in medical technology.
