A Day in the Life

The Medical Surgical Portfolio strives to enable earlier diagnosis, better treatment, faster complication-free recovery, and enhanced patient outcomes through less invasive surgical solutions. Spanning Endoscopy, Surgical, and Acute Care & Monitoring, the portfolio brings together technologies that support clinicians and patients across a broad range of care settings.

As the Sustainability Field Services Manager, you will lead a team of Sustainability Specialists responsible for delivering a consistent, high-quality post-sale customer experience for sustainability collections programs across the Medical Surgical Portfolio. You will guide customer kickoff and implementation, support ongoing account management and relationship building, and help customers realize the operational and sustainability value of participating in these programs.

• Partner with Commercial colleagues, including sales, strategic account teams, and clinical partners, to support a smooth transition from sale to implementation and maintain clear ownership throughout the customer lifecycle.
• Coordinate with internal operations, sustainability, marketing, finance, and external program partners, as appropriate, to resolve operational issues and deliver a reliable customer experience.
• Communicate customer insights, implementation trends, service risks, and opportunities to improve program design and execution to relevant business stakeholders.
• Manage team capacity, priorities, and resources to meet customer commitments and support consistent service delivery across a geographically distributed portfolio.
• Represent the customer and sustainability services perspective in cross-functional planning, while maintaining the distinction between post-sale program management and sales ownership.
