Who we are

Silk Road Medical, Inc. is a medical device company located in Sunnyvale, California & Plymouth, MN, that is focused on reducing the risk of stroke and has pioneered a new approach for the treatment of carotid artery disease called TransCarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR).

We are always looking for dynamic and innovative individuals who are passionate about reducing the risk of stroke. We welcome team members who approach their work with courage, flexibility, persistence, and a willingness to assist others with a strong emphasis on collaboration.

The opportunity

The Transcarotid Artery Revascularization (TCAR) procedure is a minimally invasive treatment option to treat carotid artery disease and help prevent stroke. In addition to the clinical performance of the therapy itself, a key driver of market adoption will require a fundamental shift in the well-established treatment algorithms for carotid artery disease. Through the strategic establishment of local and regional TCAR Programs, Silk Road Medical's (SRM) therapy awareness program aims to generate pull-through demand for the TCAR Procedure due to increased community awareness and physician education.

The Sr. Therapy Awareness Manager will be responsible for key therapy awareness and education management initiatives to drive TCAR therapy adoption:

1. Training & partnering with the field team to incorporate and implement appropriate therapy awareness and educational initiatives.
2. Collaborating with TCAR accounts to assist with their marketing and educational efforts.
3. Customizing educational assets and collateral as part of a comprehensive therapy awareness toolkit.
4. Managing and delivering Silk Road Medical's education programs ensuring that all programs meet objectives, targets and program delivery excellence. Responsibilities include direct management of attendee management, faculty management, and logistics.
5. Success will require a creative mindset and an ability to adapt to local conditions and requirements.

This is a field-based position.
