Position overview:

The Senior Group Manager – Product Marketing will lead Intuitive India's Product Marketing vertical, spanning our Robotic-Assisted Surgery (RAS) platforms and our expanding Digital Solutions portfolio. This is a high-visibility, mission-critical leadership role at the intersection of customer insight, commercial strategy, and stakeholder influence.

As a core member of the Marketing Leadership team, this individual will define portfolio strategy, lead go-to-market execution, and drive adoption and value validation for our growing product suite — including the imminent launches of our latest and most advanced robotic surgery platforms such as the da Vinci 5 and da Vinci Single Port in India.
