HistoSonics is a medical device company, founded in 2009, that has developed a non-invasive, sonic beam therapy platform that uses histotripsy, which is capable of destroying targeted liver tumors. Our mission and passion are to advance the novel science of histotripsy and its powerful benefits, bringing meaningful and transformational change to physicians and their patients.
Location: United Kingdom (preferred); ideally located near a major airport to support international travel and well-positioned for convenient domestic travel throughout the UK.
Travel: 75%. 3-4 nights/week in a hotel. Candidates must be comfortable with frequent travel across the UK and into Europe as needed to support program launches, training, and clinical activities.
The Principal UK Education Lead is a senior-level training and implementation specialist responsible for launching and supporting adoption of the HistoSonics System across the UK market, with occasional involvement in broader European activities. This is a regionally based position with approximately 75% travel. This role is designed for a highly experienced individual with a strong background in clinical support, training, and/or clinical sales with strong clinical and program-building aptitude, who can take full ownership of physician and distributor education and drive successful, sustained use of a complex, imaging-based technology in diverse clinical settings.
This is not a sales role. However, candidates with clinical sales experience who demonstrate strong clinical aptitude and the ability to appropriately set expectations with customers are welcome, provided they meet the core requirements of training and education.
Core Responsibilities
• Deliver structured clinical education programs to physicians and hospital teams to support successful adoption of the HistoSonics technology.
• Provide expert intra-procedural support and serve as the primary clinical lead during program launches—guiding physician teams through early cases to clinical independence. In European markets where distributors are present, mentor distributor teams during initial procedures, reinforcing best practices and enabling their future independence.
• Serve as the education lead and overall point of coordination for new histotripsy program launches, executing launch milestones in collaboration with cross-functional teams to ensure effective and scalable site activation.
• Identify and create pathways for new clinical applications of the platform by collaborating with R&D, product, and clinical teams, while serving as a global conduit for best practices—disseminating learnings across markets and surfacing regional insights to inform internal strategy.
• Identify and develop KOLs and centers of excellence as reference sites and physician speakers.
• Build strong relationships with physician and distributor partners, serving as a long-term clinical and program development resource.
• Maintain long-term engagement with hospital programs in the UK and with distribution partners in Europe (where applicable) following initial launch and handoff, serving as a consistent clinical resource and relationship lead to ensure continuity, insight sharing, and sustained program success.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with internal teams to align on launch strategies and ongoing customer success.
• Maintain comprehensive documentation of training, case support, and customer interactions to drive continuous improvement and compliance.
• Operate independently with flexibility and accountability, adapting to dynamic clinical, technical, and cultural environments.
Qualifications
• Must be fluent in English; proficiency in other European languages is a plus.
• Demonstrated experience leading the dissemination of clinical best practices and establishing clear expectations for success across physicians, distributors, and hospital teams, with a proven ability to ensure accountability to procedural standards.
• Track record of owning cross-functional launch milestones and driving strategic collaboration to develop hospital programs that optimize technology implementation and support long-term clinical adoption.
• Experience mentoring or training internal or external teams, including distributor and internal personnel, through demonstrated proficiency.
• Proven ability to build and sustain long-term clinical relationships, serving as a trusted advocate for physicians and hospitals.
• Strong interpersonal and cross-cultural communication skills, with the patience and educator’s mindset required to teach complex information clearly—often across language barriers and varying levels of clinical experience.
• Proven ability to operate independently with minimal oversight, drive results, and manage complex workflows to successful outcomes.
• Must be a self-starter, flexible, and accountable to their own clinical learning curve and performance standards.
• Willing and able to travel up to 75% of the time, primarily across the UK, with occasional travel into Europe.
Preferred but Not Required
• Background working at organizations known for structured and rigorous clinical education programs
• Experience managing projects, programs and/or people
• Experience in ultrasound or image-based localization systems is a plus but not required
