Trainee Endoscopic Sales Specialist

Company Overview
Our client is a global manufacturer of medical instruments and endoscopy equipment, founded in 1945 and internationally recognised for its work in endoscopic technology.
The business focuses on innovation, technical expertise, continuous learning and career development, with a strong emphasis on developing talented people into future sales specialists.
This is designed as a long-term career opportunity, with structured training and a clear progression pathway from trainee through to an autonomous Sales Specialist.
We’re looking for a Trainee Endoscopic Sales Specialist to cover the North East, Yorkshire, parts of Lincolnshire and Northumberland.
This is a field-based role, ideally suited to someone based in Leeds or the surrounding areas. Regular travel is a key part of the position, with 3–4 hours of travel per day realistic across the territory.
Initially, you’ll support experienced sales specialists while developing your product, clinical and sales knowledge through a structured training programme.
The role progresses from Trainee Sales Specialist in Year 1, to Associate Sales Specialist in Year 2, with the aim of becoming a fully autonomous Sales Specialist in Year 3, managing your own territory and customer base.

Medical sales experience is not essential. We’re looking for someone with the right personality, attitude and potential to become a strong salesperson.
You’ll ideally be:
– Confident, outgoing and comfortable building relationships.
– Competitive, ambitious and motivated to progress.
– Resilient and comfortable working under pressure.
– Self-motivated, organised and able to take initiative.
– A strong team player with a good work ethic.
– Commercially aware and customer-focused.
– Able to learn and absorb complex technical and clinical information.
– Genuinely interested in medical devices and healthcare.
A degree is preferred, particularly in Biomedical Sciences, Human Sciences, Sports Science or another science-related subject.
The strongest candidates may have a science degree and experience shadowing a medical device representative, a science degree with customer-facing experience and an interest in medical devices, or a Physiotherapy background with strong commercial drive and transferable experience.
Evidence of achievement is important, whether through sport, academics, sales, leadership, progression or customer-facing success.
