Professional Education Manager
Anteris Technologies · Remote
Anteris® Technologies is a global structural heart company dedicated to revolutionizing cardiac care. With offices in Minneapolis, MN, US; Geneva, Switzerland; and Brisbane and Perth, Australia, we have a growing and inclusive team.
Our mission is to forge new frontiers in cardiac care by pioneering science-driven and measurable advancements to restore heart valve patients to healthy function. Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVR) technologies were originally designed for older, high-risk patients. Today, younger, more active patients need a better solution that will not just open and close but restore healthy heart function. We seek to restore healthy blood flow patterns by creating the world’s first biomimetic TAVR valve, DurAVR® THV. This cutting-edge valve, incorporating our proprietary ADAPT® anti-calcification technology, is designed to mimic the natural function of a healthy heart valve.
The Professional Education Manager is a newly created role within Global Medical Affairs responsible for developing and delivering physician education programs that advance scientific understanding of DurAVR® THV and support readiness for potential future launches, subject to applicable regulatory approvals.
Reporting to the Global Medical Affairs Senior Director, this role manages key opinion leader (KOL) faculty engagement, Speakers Bureau operations, congress education, and curriculum development. Working closely with Medical Affairs, Marketing, and Compliance, this person ensures education is scientifically accurate, relevant to healthcare professionals, and appropriate to the product’s regulatory status in each market. The ideal candidate combines cardiovascular scientific knowledge with experience managing physician education programs and translating complex clinical evidence into engaging, practical learning.
Location: Remote role based in North America (US or Canada) or Europe (France, Germany, UK, Netherlands, or Switzerland).
At Anteris Technologies, you’ll be part of a growing team working to revolutionize structural heart care and improve the lives of patients with aortic stenosis.
