Job Summary

The Director, Clinical Market Development owns the company's post-market clinical strategy—designing, managing, and translating post-market studies and real-world evidence programs that substantiate device performance, support marketing claims, and strengthen the company's clinical authority in the medical aesthetics market. 

This role is a specialized function that sits at the intersection of clinical research and commercial marketing, responsible for generating the evidence that the Brand and Sales teams need to credibly differentiate the device portfolio and that Sales needs to win clinical conversations with aesthetic HCPs.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities

The incumbent may be asked to perform other function-related activities in addition to the below-mentioned responsibilities as reasonably required by business needs.

Post-market Study Design & Program Management

• Own the pre-launch evaluations and post-market clinical research strategy for the device portfolio – define study priorities, evidence gaps, and a rolling program of post-market studies and data collection initiatives aligned with commercial needs
• Design post-market clinical studies and real-world evidence (RWE) programs, retrospective and prospective chart reviews, investigator-initiated study (IIS) support, and patient-reported outcome (PRO) studies—across aesthetic device indications
• Develop study protocols, data collection instruments, and endpoint frameworks in collaboration with clinical operations, regulatory affairs, and external clinical advisors
• Manage the full lifecycle of post-market studies from protocol development through site activation, data collection, analysis, and publication or commercial deployment of findings
• Build and maintain a prioritized evidence roadmap that maps post-market data needs to commercial claims requirements, competitive differentiation opportunities, and Brand marketing priorities
• Ensure all post-market research activity complies with applicable FDA post-market surveillance regulations, and industry standards for medical device clinical data collection

Clinical Site & Investigator Engagement

• In partnership with commercial leaders, identify, qualify, and activate clinical investigation sites and aesthetic HCP investigators appropriate for pre-launch evaluations and post-market study execution
• Serve as the primary clinical relationship manager for participating investigators and site coordinators—providing protocol guidance, data collection support, and ongoing engagement to ensure site performance and data quality
• Build a standing network of engaged aesthetic clinical investigators—who are committed, trained, and available to participate in future post-market programs
• Cultivate relationships with clinical thought leaders who can serve as study principal investigators, scientific advisors, and co-authors on publications arising from post-market data
• Define and execute clinical deliverables within sweat equity agreements—including post-market clinical activities that maximize commercial return and clinical credibility

Data Translation & Commercial Evidence Deployment

• Translate post-market study findings into commercially deployable evidence assets—before and afters, clinical data summaries (clinical bulletins, white papers), peer-reviewed publication abstracts, and evidence-based messaging frameworks—in collaboration with Clinical Education leader
• Partner with Brand to embed assets and post-market clinical data into device brand narratives, ensuring claims are accurate, defensible, and differentiated from competitive clinical evidence
• Provide Marcom with a pipeline of study milestones, publication launches, and congress presentations that anchor the clinical content calendar and drive timely HCP-facing campaigns
• Brief the Sales team on post-market study findings and clinical evidence updates, equipping them with current data to address HCP questions, reinforce device credibility, and respond to competitive clinical challenges

Publication Strategy & Scientific Communication 

• Develop and manage the pre-launch evaluation plans and post-market publication strategy—prioritizing study findings for peer-reviewed journals, conference abstracts, and congress presentations at key aesthetic meetings (ASLMS, ADSDS equivalents) 
• Represent post-market clinical programs at aesthetic conferences and scientific symposia—presenting data, engaging investigators, and building the company's clinical reputation within the aesthetic research community 
• Maintain a post-market evidence library and internal knowledge base that tracks active studies, published findings, pending publications, and evidence gaps across the device portfolio 

Professional Society Alliance Building

• Develop and manage relationships with key aesthetic professional associations, fellowship programs and societies—including ASLMS, ASDS, and equivalents—securing the access, membership engagement, and collaborative opportunities that benefit the commercial-facing teams
• Build relationships with aesthetic conference organizers, medical education program directors, and industry media and publication platforms that expand the company's visibility and access within the aesthetic professional community
