Our client is a well-established engineered solutions provider, founded in the 1960s, specializing in the design and manufacture of advanced materials and custom subassemblies used in highly regulated, high-reliability applications. The company partners with leading Medical Device Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) to support product innovation from early-stage design through full commercialization and production scale-up.

The Strategic Account Manager (SAM) will own and grow relationships with key strategic Medical Device OEM customers. This role is highly commercial and technical in nature, focused on selling custom-engineered components and materials while driving long-term revenue growth through early engagement in Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and New Product Introduction (NPI) programs.

This is not a training role. Candidates must have prior experience selling engineered solutions directly into Medical Device OEM organizations, managing technical sales cycles, leading RFQ responses, and negotiating commercial agreements.

• Drive revenue growth within assigned strategic Medical Device OEM accounts through new program development and expanded product penetration
• Lead commercial and technical engagement during DFM, NPI, and early product design phases
• Manage complex RFQ processes, technical quoting cycles, and long-cycle program opportunities from concept through production
• Build and maintain multi-level relationships across OEM organizations, including engineering, sourcing, quality, and executive stakeholders
• Identify and develop pipeline opportunities for next-generation programs and emerging product launches
• Partner closely with Engineering, Operations, and Program Management teams to ensure successful program execution
• Develop strategic account plans, revenue forecasts, and conduct regular business performance reviews
• Serve as both a technical and commercial resource across the company’s full portfolio of engineered solutions

• 5+ years of direct commercial sales experience selling custom-engineered components or solutions into large Medical Device OEMs
• Proven success managing OEM account relationships, negotiating contracts, and closing complex technical sales opportunities
• Experience managing long sales cycles and program-based selling environments
• Working knowledge of DFM, NPI, and early-stage product development processes
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, manufacturing specifications, and material requirements
• Experience navigating large, matrixed corporate OEM structures
• CRM experience (Salesforce strongly preferred)
• Strong presentation, communication, and business strategy skills
• Valid driver’s license and willingness to travel

• Background with contract manufacturing, engineered components, or advanced materials suppliers
• Experience selling products such as:

• Flexible or rigid-flex circuits
• Seals and gaskets
• Ceramics and precision components
  • Materials experience including
• Films, foils, foams
• Elastomers and polymers
  • Prior experience supporting top-tier Medical Device OEMs such as major global device manufacturers
  • Experience supporting implantable or highly regulated medical device programs
   

This position requires demonstrated commercial sales experience within the Medical Device OEM ecosystem. Candidates whose experience is primarily in operations, quality, engineering, or internal program management without direct customer-facing sales responsibility will not be considered a strong match. Candidates must have prior success selling engineered solutions into complex OEM environments.

• U.S. Person status required under ITAR/EAR regulations
• Background check required
• Equal Opportunity Employer
