Sales Associate
If you’re looking for a role that sits right at the intersection of clinical exposure and sales development, this is it. This Sales Associate position is built for someone who wants to earn credibility in the OR, learn the portfolio and procedures, and become the kind of person surgeons and teams trust—because you consistently show up prepared, calm, and ready to execute.
What you’ll do (real day‑to‑day)
- Provide in‑case support by covering and/or shadowing a variety of surgical procedures across multiple accounts and physicians
- Assist with restocking inventory and addressing expired product while onsite
- Collaborate weekly with the Operations team to ensure alignment and preparedness
- Stay current on the weekly surgical schedule for your assigned accounts
- Support after‑hours cases, including revisions and complex procedures (this role isn’t always 9–5)
- Help transport and run implants/instruments as needed to support the team and the case
- Build foundational knowledge of primary and revision procedures to support confidently in the OR
Territory & travel expectations
This role supports a large Northern Michigan territory, including Petosky, Charlevoix, Alpena, Grayling, and Traverse City. You’ll spend a significant portion of your week traveling between hospitals and accounts. Comfort with long drives, time on the road, and managing your schedule independently is mandatory for success in this role.
What it takes to thrive in this role
You’ll do well here if you’re someone who:
- Shows up and follows through. Surgeons remember the reps they can count on—and consistency builds trust fast.
- Stays steady when things change. OR schedules shift, plans evolve, and you know how to adapt without missing a beat.
- Is curious and coachable. You pick things up quickly because you want to learn, not because you’re told to.
- Isn’t afraid to roll up your sleeves. From moving inventory to supporting logistics, you’re comfortable doing the hands‑on work that keeps everything running smoothly.
Experience that translates well
There’s no single “right” background for this role. We’ve seen people succeed coming from many different paths, including:
- Medical device, ortho, or clinical support roles
- Client‑facing sales roles—B2B or B2C—where you’ve built trust, managed accounts, and hit goals
- Hospitality or service leadership (restaurants, hotels, events) where reliability, responsiveness, and handling pressure were part of your everyday work
- Retail or customer‑focused sales environments where relationship‑building and consistency drove results
- Clinical or healthcare exposure (OR, sterile processing, athletic training, EMT/ED tech, surgical support, etc.), especially if you’re motivated to move into a sales career
- A 4‑year bachelor’s degree is required, but your major doesn’t have to be sales or healthcare. What matters most is how you show up, how quickly you learn, and how well you work with people in fast‑moving, high‑stakes environments.
If you’re motivated by growth, want real clinical exposure, and like the idea of building a long‑term career in orthopedic sales—this is a strong place to start.
