Territory Manager - Manchester - Orthopaedic Sales - North West
This is a high‑impact opportunity for an experienced orthopaedics professional to take command of a well‑established extremities and trauma portfolio across the North West. The territory is mature, the demand is real, and the company is moving quickly - which is why they're looking for someone who can step in with confidence and immediately make their mark.
You'll be joining a clinically driven organisation known for its agility, technical depth and unwavering support for surgical teams. This is not a role weighed down by layers of process. It's built for someone who thrives in a high‑autonomy environment, who can manage complex clinical relationships with authority, and who wants the freedom to run their territory like a business in its own right. You'll be backed by a leadership team that values initiative, clinical credibility and entrepreneurial thinking.
Your day will be shaped by the theatre. You'll be the technical partner surgeons rely on during foot and ankle trauma procedures, the person they trust to guide them through complex cases, and the face of a portfolio that already has strong traction in the region. Alongside this, you'll be driving the commercial strategy - protecting established business, uncovering new opportunities, and converting interest into long‑term growth. You'll move confidently through hospitals, building deep relationships with surgeons, theatre managers, procurement teams and clinical leads, always with an eye on the competitive landscape and where the next win will come from.
You'll also take ownership of product evaluations, lead conversions from first conversation through to procurement approval, and deliver high‑quality training sessions for scrub teams and nursing staff. Your ability to read the room, communicate clearly and stay calm under pressure will be central to your success.
To excel here, you'll already have at least three years of experience in orthopaedic sales or advanced clinical theatre support, ideally within trauma, extremities or biologics. You'll be completely at home in the operating theatre and able to command respect through technical knowledge and assured communication. Commercially, you'll understand how to win in a competitive market - from tendering and procurement to territory planning and strategic account development. Resilience, self‑motivation and a genuine appetite for unlocking new accounts are essential, as is a full UK driving licence and the willingness to travel extensively across the region.
In return, you'll receive an excellent starting salary, a company car, phone, laptop, healthcare, income protection, pension and a suite of additional benefits. The company has also recently restructured internally to create clear, transparent progression pathways - something that sets them apart in a sector where career development is often left to chance.
If this feels like the challenge you've been waiting for, now is the moment to act. Opportunities at this level move quickly, and waiting could mean missing out.
