Job Summary

The Director, National Business Development - Imaging (Nt’l BDM-I) is responsible for building and scaling Imaging as a clinical decision platform within Terumo Interventional Systems. This role defines the commercial, clinical, and operational conditions required for Imaging technologies (e.g., IVUS, OCT, ICE or physiology-based imaging) to drive procedural adoption and revenue growth across the interventional portfolio.

Through demonstrated experience with intravascular imaging or advanced coronary imaging technologies, the incumbent of this position establishes where and how Imaging integrates into disease states and care pathways, shaping adoption models across health systems and enabling the consistent translation of imaging insights into procedural action.

It is accountable for both national strategy and the development of a specialized field team capable of delivering clinical credibility and commercial impact.

Success in this role is defined by the ability to elevate Imaging from a product offering into a scalable, system-level capability that enhances clinical decision-making, drives procedural pull-through, and expands Terumo’s position across the interventional care continuum.
