Job Description

Position Summary

The Director, Clinical Training & Effectiveness is the architect of how clinical and commercial training is defined, built, and delivered across the Flyrcado/cardiac PET portfolio. This role owns the overall strategy - determining what gets built, how it gets delivered, who it reaches, and how effectiveness is measured - for internal sales teams, marketing partners, and external customers and key opinion leaders (KOLs).

This is a new and strategically critical function within PDx, sitting at the intersection of clinical expertise, sales enablement, and customer implementation. The Director does not inherit a playbook - they write it. They will build the team, design the infrastructure, set the direction, and serve as the connective tissue between clinical knowledge and commercial performance - ensuring that every person who touches this product, internally or externally, has the skills, confidence, and accountability to drive outcomes.

Clinical Training Strategy & Development

• Own the overall clinical training strategy for the Flyrcado portfolio - defining the vision, setting priorities, determining how programs are built and delivered, and establishing how success is measured across all audiences.

• Serve as the primary architect of the training function - this role builds from the ground up, designing the infrastructure, tools, and delivery model rather than inheriting an existing program.

• Define and own the enterprise clinical training strategy for the Flyrcado portfolio, aligned with commercial growth objectives and clinical adoption goals.

• Build a scalable, standardized training infrastructure that addresses the full clinical pathway - from patient identification and imaging protocol through program implementation and outcomes reporting.

• Develop and continuously refine the new hire onboarding and training curricula, tools, playbooks, and certification programs for clinical and sales audiences.

• Establish competency frameworks and accountability systems that go beyond e-learning modules to include hands-on, field-based, and experiential learning.

• Ensure training content reflects the complexity of selling into nuclear cardiology environments, including the clinical distinctions across cardiologist types and nuclear medicine workflows.

Sales Team Enablement & Competency Development

• Lead the design and delivery of selling skills development for CPAMs and the broader field sales organization, including foundational skills such as social styles, listening, open-ended questioning, strategic selling, presentation delivery, and conflict management.

• Partner closely with Sales leadership and Marketing to align training content with commercial strategy, messaging, and field execution priorities.

• Create and manage field sales trainer programs that extend training reach beyond centralized programs and reinforce skill development through peer coaching and regional support.

• Drive accountability for skill adoption in the field, partnering with managers and leadership to ensure training is not a one-and-done event but a sustained behavior change effort.

• Collaborate with the Head of Commercial Learning and the PDx training team to coordinate and sequence training programs across clinical, selling skills, and systems/tools dimensions.

• Develop and deliver sustainment efforts - including 1:1 coaching and technology-driven reinforcement tools - to drive skill adoption beyond initial training events.

• Contribute to the development of learning journeys for customer-facing roles, providing clarity and structure for new hires and their hiring managers.

External Customer & KOL Education

• Develop and execute clinical education programs for external customers, including hospital and outpatient cardiac PET program teams, nuclear cardiologists, nuclear medicine technologists, and program administrators.

• Design and deliver customer-facing training to support program launch, clinical onboarding, protocol implementation, and sustained program optimization.

• Build relationships with key external stakeholders and serve as a credible clinical resource for customers navigating the complexity of Flyrcado program implementation.

• Collaborate with the Cardiology KOL & Stakeholder Engagement Lead to support peer-to-peer education opportunities, advisory boards, and congress activities - ensuring clinical training and KOL strategy are coordinated, not duplicated.

Clinical Implementation & Effectiveness

• Define clinical effectiveness metrics and accountability standards that measure training impact across both internal and external audiences.

• Partner with Sales and Implementation teams to ensure the transition from training to execution is supported - addressing operational, clinical, and organizational barriers to program activation.

• Serve as an internal subject matter resource for clinical questions related to cardiac PET, nuclear cardiology workflows, and Flyrcado-specific clinical positioning.

• Provide ongoing input into hiring criteria for CPAM and sales roles, ensuring candidate selection reflects the clinical complexity of the environment.

Team Leadership & Operations

• Build, lead, and develop a high-performing clinical training team, including recruiting, onboarding, capability development, and retention.

• Lead a distributed team and ensure consistent execution, quality, and alignment with enterprise objectives.

• Manage team budget and training program operations, including vendor relationships and external facilitator partnerships.

• Report to the GM, Cardiac Enablement and serve as a senior voice on clinical training strategy within the PDx leadership structure.

• Bachelor's degree required; advanced degree in a clinical, healthcare, or business field preferred.

• 8+ years of progressive experience in clinical training, sales enablement, medical education, or healthcare operations - with demonstrated leadership accountability.

• Deep working knowledge of nuclear cardiology, cardiac PET imaging, or adjacent clinical environments (nuclear medicine, radiology, cardiovascular).

• Proven experience designing and delivering training programs that drive measurable skill development and behavioral change - not just content completion.

• Track record of leading cross-functional programs that require coordination across sales, marketing, clinical, and operations teams.

• Strong executive presence with the ability to influence and engage senior internal leaders, external customers, and clinical stakeholders.

• Ability to operate in a matrixed, fast-moving organization and manage competing priorities without losing momentum.

• Willingness and ability to travel domestically approximately 30% of the time to support field training, customer programs, and national meetings.

• Clinical background in nuclear medicine technology, cardiovascular sales, or related clinical discipline.

• Experience building or managing a field sales trainer or clinical specialist program.

• Familiarity with certification program design, competency frameworks, and learning management systems.

• Prior experience working directly with cardiologists, nuclear medicine physicians, or health system clinical leadership.

• Exposure to radiopharmaceutical or diagnostic imaging commercial environments.
