Stryker Corporation

Work Flexibility: Field-based

Sudden Cardiac Arrest occurs to millions of people per year worldwide, with no warning. Public access to Automatic External Defibrillators (AEDs) helps to ensure that lifesaving technology is placed where it can do the most good (such as in homes, workplaces, facilities, communities, etc.) – empowering bystanders and Emergency Response Teams to save lives.

As Sales Representative, you will play a key role in driving the sales growth of our AEDs product portfolio in the Benelux region by collaborating closely with our distributor partners.
