Healthcare is a strategic growth segment for the group, supported by a dedicated European team and a portfolio of medical-grade materials.
The role:
Your core market is Italy, where the customer relationships already exist and need cultivating rather than building from scratch. Alongside that, you will open and develop business across Iberia, Benelux and Turkey.
You will report locally within the Italian organisation and functionally into the European healthcare team.
Key responsibilities:
- Manage and grow the established Italian healthcare customer base
- Identify and develop new business at medical OEMs and brands in Iberia, Benelux and Turkey
- Build relationships with the decision-makers who drive material specification
- Develop segment plans and track specification targets and pipeline growth

Requirements:
- Solid experience in the medical / healthcare value chain
- Knowledge of medical-grade plastics, certifications and regulatory compliance
- Fluent Italian and English
- Based in Italy, with willingness to travel approximately 40%
- Hunter mindset: comfortable with cold outreach and discovery, not only with an existing portfolio
Preferred backgrounds:

- Technical or product managers at medical device manufacturers, ready to move into a commercial role
Why apply:
- A mature Italian market to cultivate, plus three genuinely open territories to build
- Direct handover from the outgoing colleague, not a cold start
- Specification-led role in a segment insulated from commodity price pressure
- International exposure with functional reporting into a European healthcare structure
Compensation:
€55k–€85k base, depending on proven healthcare experience, plus premio and benefits.
