Company Context

Stage: Public company (formerly Quotient Limited), ~415 employees

Size: Mid-sized medical device manufacturer

Growth: Just received FDA registration for MosaiQ platform in US (August 2025), actively expanding US market presence after 30+ years focused on Europe

Market Position: Challenger entering established US diagnostics market against incumbents like Abbott, Siemens, Roche


GTM Reality

Current State:

  • Small US sales footprint - company historically focused on European market
  • Just achieved FDA 510(k) exempt registration for platform (August 2025)
  • First assays going through FDA submission process (Vasculitis panel submitted Sept 2025)
  • Building US demand gen infrastructure from relatively early stage

Pipeline Sources You'll Build:

  • Account-based campaigns targeting specific hospital systems and reference labs
  • Conference/trade show follow-up (AACC, CAP, regional lab conferences)
  • Content marketing to lab directors and pathologists
  • Partner/distributor enablement programs

Sales Support: You're generating leads for a small US sales team selling capital equipment with long evaluation cycles


Competitive Landscape

Main Competitors: Abbott Diagnostics, Siemens Healthineers, Roche Diagnostics, DiaSorin, BioRad

How They Differentiate: MosaiQ is a microarray-based platform promising faster turnaround times for autoimmune and allergy testing vs traditional IFA methods

Common Objections: "We already have testing equipment," switching costs for labs, "prove it works in a US clinical setting," reimbursement questions

Win Themes: Faster time-to-diagnosis, workflow efficiency, consolidated testing platform, European validation data


What You'll Actually Do

Time Breakdown

Campaign Building (40%) | Marketing Ops/Automation (30%) | Analytics/Reporting (20%) | Cross-functional (10%)

Key Activities

  • Build ABM campaigns: Target specific hospital systems and reference labs with personalized content. You're researching accounts, building contact lists, setting up sequences in whatever MA platform they use (likely HubSpot or Marketo)
  • Set up marketing automation: Build lead scoring models, nurture tracks, form integrations. A lot of technical setup work connecting systems and defining workflows
  • Create digital campaigns: Set up LinkedIn ads, Google ads, maybe programmatic display targeting lab decision-makers. You're managing budgets and optimizing based on cost-per-lead
  • Event marketing support: Pre-event campaigns, badge scanning setup, post-event follow-up sequences for trade shows. Medical device companies live on trade shows
  • Reporting and attribution: Track campaign performance, build dashboards, try to connect marketing activities to pipeline. This is harder than it sounds with 9-18 month sales cycles

The Honest Reality

What's Hard

  • Medical device marketing has heavy regulatory constraints - everything needs legal/regulatory review before going out
  • You're building demand for a product that's new to the US market with limited case studies or social proof domestically
  • Capital equipment sales cycles are brutally long - it'll take 6-12+ months to see if your campaigns actually convert to revenue
  • Small company means limited budget compared to what competitors spend, and you're competing for attention against established brands
  • Lab directors and pathologists are conservative buyers - they don't respond to typical SaaS-style "book a demo" campaigns
  • You might be a team of one or two doing this, so you're hands-on in the tools doing execution, not managing an agency

What Success Looks Like

  • Generate 30-50 qualified leads per quarter that sales actually wants to talk to
  • Build repeatable campaign playbooks that can scale as the US team grows
  • Achieve cost-per-lead targets (probably $500-1000+ given deal size and audience)
  • Create air cover so the sales team has multiple touchpoints with target accounts before they reach out

Who You're Marketing To

Primary Buyers:

  • Lab Directors at hospital systems
  • Pathologists with purchasing influence
  • Reference lab operations leaders

What They Care About:

  • Reimbursement rates and economics of running tests
  • Validation data and clinical accuracy
  • Workflow efficiency and throughput
  • Integration with existing LIS systems
  • Total cost of ownership vs current methods
  • FDA clearance status and regulatory compliance

Requirements

  • 3-5 years experience in B2B demand generation or marketing ops
  • Hands-on with marketing automation platforms (HubSpot, Marketo, Pardot)
  • Experience building multi-channel campaigns (email, paid social, content)
  • Comfortable with technical/scientific products (healthcare/medical device experience ideal)
  • Data-driven - can build reports, analyze campaign performance, optimize based on metrics
  • Some understanding of sales processes and pipeline management
  • Able to work independently with minimal direction in a lean team environment
