A Day in the Life

The Director of Strategic Accounts (DSA) has leadership responsibility for developing and fostering the Administrative and C-Suite relationships at selected key strategic accounts. The individual will also cultivate relationships with clinical leaders, divisional leaders or chairs of relevant clinical areas. Each DSA will be responsible for driving Medtronic revenue and increasing Medtronic share and for coordinating hospital-specific strategies that match the breadth of Medtronic’s Enterprise product and service offerings. The primary work will be partnering with the Regional Vice Presidents (RVP’s) and local sales leadership to promote cross-functional team collaboration to position Medtronic Enterprise and to evolve our value proposition to include solution offerings. The DSA will partner with the field to build a robust account plan, execute against that plan to identify mutually preferred partnerships with targeted strategic accounts and will make decisions that bring to bear the entire portfolio. This leader will also work to shift the conversation from traditional product sales to solutions that meet the customer’s strategic priorities. Strategic Accounts are those accounts where Medtronic has identified an opportunity to explicitly develop a formal relationship that advances both parties mutual and unique interests. Some of these accounts are those accounts who are interested in evolving business models from fee-for-service to value based and are interested in a collaborative relationship with a medical technology company to advance this effort.
