Medical Devices Marketing Directors Lead the Way

The Market for Marketing Directors and Managers for Science jobs has broadened and expanded to include almost all science sectors. Medical Device Manufacturing, Pharmaceuticals, Biopharmaceuticals and laterly IC have begun to experience a resurgence of growth that is a positive indicator for the employment prospects of sales and marketing professionals. To date, all have witnessed considerable retrenchment in the technology sectors but no longer is this the case.

Medical Device and Pharmaceuticals manufacturing in Ireland as previously discussed has witnessed steady growth despite a global downturn that has affected most other sectors.

Medical Device Marketing Directors and Managers with expertise in marketing medical devices particularly disposable products are in great demand given the presence of such firms as Teleflex, Merit Medical, Boston Scientific and Medtronic who have seen huge growth in demand for their products.

Additionally, we have witnessed a considerable  increase in key positions such as Pharmaceutical Sales and Marketing Manager, Chief Science Officer and Head of Research & Development  to aid the development, sales and marketing of these new products for the local and foreign export markets. 

New automated manufacturing technologies  have also helped to reduce manufacturing costs for these goods and allied to applied R&D in these sectors there have been startling new product developments which have produced corresponding increased profits resulting in a far greater resilient industrial sector engaged in new science job creation centers which are of  such vital importance to Ireland’s new smart economy.

Research and Development (R&D) investment continues to increase by major multinational companies operating in Ireland today. In particular there have been several major investments announced within the Irish Medical Device  manufacturing industry. Boston Scientific, Medtronic and Teleflex have indicated sizable investments in their research facilities based in Ireland that have positive long term implications for jobs already established here and for future investment that can only add to the technological career opportunities available for R&D, Quality, Materials, Product development  and Tooling/ Moulding Engineers.  These professionals; particular those with expertise in Processing,  Polymers and advanced Plastics, will be required to support these projects and future advanced research projects which are at the heart of some of the most sophisticated medical devices manufactured anywhere in the world.

Needless to say, these are careers that are both well paid, and with considerable promotional prospects that are not confined to traditional Irish manufacturing industries but also offer possibilities far beyond these shores and in other allied industries such as BioPharmaceuticals and semiconductor  to name a few.  Irish Recruitment agencies have not been slow to recognize this and are now actively supporting it as a core industrial sector.
