Marketing Senior Manager

Marketing Senior Manager

Our client is a global leader in hearing care technology and part of one of the world's most respected healthcare innovation groups. The company focuses on developing advanced implantable hearing solutions that restore hearing through highly sophisticated medical technology. Its cochlear implant systems are designed for people with severe to profound hearing loss and are used in close collaboration with surgeons, audiologists, hospitals, and rehabilitation specialists around the world.

Operating within a highly regulated medical environment, the company combines cutting-edge research, clinical expertise, and patient-centric innovation to deliver life-changing outcomes. Their solutions are supported by a global network of clinical specialists, healthcare professionals, and patient communities, ensuring continuous care from implantation through long-term hearing rehabilitation.

The Marketing Senior Manager will lead and elevate the marketing function for the DACH region, driving strategic brand positioning and strengthening the company's presence across clinics, healthcare professionals, and patient communities. Reporting directly to the Managing Director, this role leads a team of 3–5 marketing professionals and acts as a key partner to sales and clinical teams.
