Sales Specialist, Critical Care

For over 50 years, the Critical Care business within Edwards Lifesciences (NYSE: EW) has operated at the intersection of groundbreaking medical innovation and improved patient care.

We are well-positioned to build upon our category leadership as we continue to launch new solutions powered by A.I. to clinicians, and expand into new care settings.

So, if you're a dynamic and passionate person who is eager to contribute to an innovative, industry-leading advanced monitoring company we invite you to explore our career opportunities. Those who choose to join us will be part of a 'once-in-a-lifetime' journey to improve the quality of care and outcomes for millions of patients around the world.
