Therapy Development Manager, San Diego Transcatheter Heart Valve

Therapy Development Manager

The primary responsibility of the Therapy Development Manager (TDM) is to execute Transcatheter Heart Valve's (THVs) Outreach and Education vision to ensure the availability of TAVR to all patients that are in need and meet the requirements. The TDM will participate in identifying restrictions to patient access and contribute to developing outreach initiatives within a territory, region and area. This is accomplished in part by establishing mutually beneficial, long-term relationships with key physicians and their clinical staff. The TDM, in collaboration with the Sales organization, will define areas of opportunity along the Heart Team referral pathway to maximize their patient access. Aortic stenosis impacts millions of people globally, yet it often remains under-diagnosed and under-treated. Edwards' groundbreaking work in transcatheter aortic heart valve replacement (TAVR) pioneered an innovative, life-changing solution for patients by offering heart valve replacement without the need for open heart surgery. Our Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) business unit continues to partner with cardiologists and clinical teams to transform patient care with devices supported by clinical evidence. It's our driving force to help patients live longer and healthier lives. Join us and be part of our inspiring journey.
