Job description

Join to apply for the Director, Commercial Training role at Element Science, Inc.

Element Science, Inc. is a medical device and digital health company focused on developing solutions at the intersection of clinical-grade wearables, machine learning algorithms, and lifesaving therapies to address leading causes of death and hospitalization in patients with heart disease. Our mission is to redefine cardiac care by delivering personalized, user‑friendly devices that empower patients and clinicians.

The Director, Commercial Training is responsible for designing, implementing, and sustaining Element Science’s commercial training and development strategy for field teams—including Sales, Clinical, and Customer Success. This leader builds programs that enable the organization to communicate the value of our technology, deliver superior patient and clinician experiences, and operate with confidence, integrity, and clinical fluency.

This position requires deep experience in sales enablement, clinical education, and instructional design, as well as strong facilitation and program‑management skills. The ideal candidate thrives in a dynamic, fast‑paced startup environment and can build from the ground up. The role can be based in either our San Francisco or Redwood City office locations (hybrid environment).

Commercial Training Strategy & Program Design

  • Design and execute the commercial training strategy for pre‑launch and post‑launch readiness.
  • Build onboarding and continuous learning programs for Sales, Clinical Specialists, and Customer Success teams.
  • Collaborate with Marketing, Clinical, Regulatory, and Quality to ensure training content is scientifically accurate and compliant.
  • Create a scalable, multi‑modal learning ecosystem blending live facilitation, e‑learning (LMS), simulations, and field‑based reinforcement.

Instructional Design & Facilitation

  • Develop engaging, adult‑learning‑based content using modern instructional‑design principles.
  • Facilitate training sessions for new hires, advanced clinical training, and leadership development within the commercial team.
  • Partner with subject‑matter experts (SMEs) to translate technical and clinical knowledge into accessible, actionable learning.
  • Sales Enablement & Field Readiness

  • Partner with Sales Leadership to define competencies and assess ongoing performance gaps.
  • Build certification and competency programs for sales effectiveness, clinical credibility, and customer engagement.
  • Build a structured field ride‑along or coaching framework.
  • Partner with field leaders on reinforcement.
  • Manage content and tools to ensure field teams are consistently prepared for customer conversations.
  • Cross‑Functional Collaboration & Leadership

  • Partner with Marketing, Field Clinical, and Product teams to align messaging, data, and customer materials.
  • Align with Medical Affairs / Scientific Engagement to ensure clinical credibility in cardiac / clinical wearables.
  • Collaborate with People & Talent / L&D to align commercial training with company‑wide leadership and development initiatives.
  • Establish metrics to evaluate training impact on commercial performance, adoption, and engagement.

  • Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Business, Life Sciences, Education, or a related field.
  • 8+ years of experience in commercial training or field development roles within MedTech, biotech, or life sciences.
  • Strong background in sales training and clinical education—ideally bridging both.
  • Expertise in instructional design, adult learning principles, and facilitation.
  • Proven ability to build programs from concept through execution in a high‑growth or startup environment.
  • Strong presentation, coaching, and communication skills.
  • Familiarity with LMS platforms and e‑learning authoring tools.
  • This role will require significant travel, approximately 40–70%.
  • Benefits
