The Challenge

Science is launching PRIMA, a first-of-its-kind retinal implant backed by NEJM clinical trials, across Europe.

Is This Role For You?

For You If
  • You've shipped go-to-market strategies for regulated medical devices in Europe and thrive navigating regulatory complexity
  • You're comfortable owning strategy AND rolling up sleeves for execution—conference logistics, KOL management, patient content creation
  • You're fluent in European healthcare landscapes and have real relationships with major ophthalmology conferences and opinion leaders
  • You're mission-driven: the chance to restore sight to blind patients genuinely excites you, not just the title or salary
Won't Work If
  • You need a fully built marketing team—this is a build-from-scratch role requiring entrepreneurial resourcefulness and hands-on work
  • You don't have 10+ years of medical device or life sciences marketing; regulatory acumen and proven launch experience are table stakes
  • You're not based in Western Europe or unwilling to relocate to Paris; on-site presence is required for stakeholder alignment and field intelligence
