Additional Locations: Spain-Madrid; France-Voisins le Bretonneux; Italy-Milan; Poland-Warsaw; United Kingdom-Hemel Hempstead About The Role The core objective of this role is to lead EMEA product management and commercial readiness activities for the FARASTAR platform within the broader Rhythm Management capital equipment ecosystem. This includes FARASTAR generators, hardware and software upgrades, accessories, product lifecycle management, launch readiness, installed base strategy, technical compatibility, field feedback, inventory inputs, and cross‑functional coordination across Marketing, Sales, Supply Chain, CETS, Quality, Regulatory, Global Marketing, R&D, Finance and Country teams. This is a highly strategic and operationally critical position in the EMEA Rhythm Management Marketing organization. FARASTAR is no longer a stand‑alone console: it is a system‑critical platform enabling the FARAPULSE ecosystem and increasingly connected to OPAL, FARAVIEW, FARAPOINT, FARAFLEX, software upgrades, service contracts, field actions and future hardware releases. The successful candidate will bring structure, ownership and execution discipline to a fast‑evolving capital equipment portfolio with multiple interdependent launches and operational workstreams. The role will be accountable for translating complex technical, clinical, regulatory, supply, service and commercial requirements into clear EMEA product strategies, practical country guidance and executable launch plans. This role will work very closely with the EMEA Capital Equipment and Service Leader , ensuring strong alignment between product strategy, capital equipment readiness, service considerations, installed base needs and country execution. The candidate will partner with the Capital Equipment and Service organization, but will not own the operational execution of capital commercial processes, CETS execution, logistics, service contract operations or deal approval workflows. This role is especially important as EMEA prepares for several interconnected capital and software evolutions, including FARASTAR software upgrades, foot pedal / interconnection box readiness, TxM, cart updates, future hardware generations and related commercial strategies.

Act as the EMEA marketing owner for FARASTAR capital equipment lifecycle management, including new installs, swaps, relabeling needs, IFU readiness, field upgrades, replacement planning and transition from older configurations. Partner with Global Marketing, R&D, CETS and Quality to ensure EMEA product requirements, field needs and customer feedback are understood and incorporated into product development, launch planning and post‑launch support. Launch Readiness & Product Commercialization Develop and execute EMEA launch strategies for FARASTAR‑related hardware and software releases, including launch sequencing, LMR planning, market prioritization, country readiness, sales enablement and customer‑facing materials. Build product launch recommendations for capital upgrades, including which customer segments should be prioritized, which upgrades should be linked to broader portfolio strategy, and where product messaging must be aligned across FARASTAR, OPAL, FARAVIEW, FARAPOINT and FARAFLEX. Coordinate launch packages, sales tools, FAQs, technical specifications, opportunity guidance, product positioning, training materials and country execution guidance. Work closely with country marketing, sales, pricing, tender and commercial excellence teams to ensure capital equipment strategies are practical, compliant and commercially sound. Support tender responses and technical specification documents where FARASTAR, OPAL, FARAVIEW, FARAPOINT, FARAFLEX or other RM capital dependencies are involved.

Partner with Quality, Regulatory, Field Clinical, CETS and country teams to ensure timely, accurate and compliant product communication, IFU updates, field correction support and related actions. Help identify field trends early, including complaint patterns, failure modes, upgrade issues, replacement part constraints and recurring technical escalations. Support urgent resolution of capital equipment issues where product availability, customer continuity, launch execution or commercial readiness may be impacted. Ensure strong awareness and compliance with applicable quality and regulatory requirements, and champion a quality‑first mindset across all launch, communication and execution activities. Pipeline Preparation & Future Portfolio Readiness Build forward‑looking readiness plans for the RM capital pipeline, including upcoming FARASTAR hardware, TxM, ICB, foot pedal, software upgrades, carts, OPAL dependencies and future platform evolution. Track launch interdependencies across products, software, accessories, commercial models, service requirements, regulatory readiness and country execution. Prepare EMEA teams for future product releases by defining what is coming, when, what depends on what, what needs to be done by whom, and how countries should prepare.
