Medical Affairs Director (m/f/d)

We firmly believe that the safety and well-being of patients are the highest values when it comes to healthcare. Ensuring these begins with the smallest details – every gram, every millimeter, every decimal point, and every single heartbeat. When it comes to medical evaluations and decisions, there is no such thing as “approximately” or “roughly.”

That’s why we always give 100% to achieve the highest quality and precision, benefiting people around the world. We work only with the best to find the optimal solutions for tomorrow, today. For our international corporate group, we are currently looking for a dedicated Medical Affairs Director (m/f/d) for our headquarters in Hamburg – someone who shares our values and standards and is committed to maintaining our position as a global market leader.

In this role, you will lead medical strategy and execution across clinical development, evidence generation, and scientific communication. By connecting clinical expertise with innovation and commercial goals, you’ll support product development, market positioning, and stakeholder engagement. You will shape our medical roadmap, build strong KOL relationships, and ensure our scientific efforts align with long-term objectives.

Your Responsibilities:

• KOL Engagement: Build and nurture strong relationships with key opinion leaders and healthcare professionals to support clinical development, product launches, and medical education. Represent the company at key industry events to expand our scientific influence.

• Scientific Storytelling: Present data at international forums and contribute to publications that strengthen our thought leadership.

What we offer:

Free coffee, a fruit basket, and company events – anyone can offer those. We do, too. But what our employees truly value is:

• The continuity and long-term success-driven development of a family-owned international company, run by the same owners for four generations, and recognized as a “hidden champion” in the medical technology industry.
• Professional teams that support each other in every aspect.
• An unlimited contract with an attractive salary package, flexible working hours, modern infrastructure, and a contemporary work environment.
