DePuy Synthes is recruiting for a Senior Marketing Manager, VELYS Robotic-Assisted Solution & Digital Surgery (Knee) , located in Palm Beach Gardens, FL, or Warsaw, IN, to lead the U.S. downstream commercialization strategy for the VELYS Knee platform and the broader digital surgery ecosystem within Joint Reconstruction.

Position Overview

This Senior Marketing Manager will report to the Director, Knee Reconstruction Marketing, and lead a team accountable for downstream strategy and execution across the VELYS robotic-assisted solutions. This leader will own the commercial strategy to accelerate system placements, drive utilization of the installed base, strengthen customer retention, and establish VELYS as the preferred robotic-assisted solution for primary knee arthroplasty.

This role sits alongside the Senior Marketing Manager, Knee Reconstruction (implant-focused) under a shared Director, creating two complementary pillars within the Knee Marketing organization -- one focused on the implant portfolio and clinical philosophy, the other on the enabling technology platform and digital ecosystem. Close collaboration between these two pillars is essential to deliver a unified, differentiated value proposition to surgeons and health systems that integrates the ATTUNE implant, Kinematic Restoration philosophy, and VELYS robotic-assisted workflow into a cohesive commercial narrative. Robotic-assisted surgery and digital health are among the fastest-evolving segments in MedTech.

This role requires a leader who can operate at the intersection of technology commercialization and clinical marketing -- someone who understands both the capital equipment sales cycle and the procedural workflow, and who can translate platform capabilities into surgeon-relevant value. The Senior Marketing Manager will work closely with surgeon customers, key accounts, health system decision-makers, and internal partners across Sales, Upstream Marketing, Supply Chain, Sales Operations, Global Education, R&D, and Software Engineering to remove adoption barriers, optimize the user experience, and build commercial programs that outpace the competition.

Key Responsibilities

Commercial Strategy & Platform Growth Own and lead the U.S. downstream commercialization strategy for the VELYS Knee platform, including positioning, messaging, segmentation, customer acquisition, utilization optimization, and retention plans.

Develop and execute strategic plans that accelerate new system placements, drive competitive conversions from rival robotic platforms, and expand VELYS penetration across target accounts and surgeon segments.

Define and prioritize target customer segments based on account profile, capital purchasing dynamics, competitive installed base, procedural volume, and technology adoption propensity; build tailored engagement strategies for each segment.

Establish pricing, contracting, and capital justification strategy inputs in partnership with Sales Operations, Commercial Excellence, and Health Economics to optimize platform value capture across purchasing models (capital, lease, placement).

Set annual and quarterly commercial objectives, allocate resources against hi
