Spine Medical Device Sales Associate

We’re building something special in the Greater Sacramento region — and we’re looking for someone who wants to earn a career in spine medical device sales.

ATEC is more than a med-tech company. We are an Organic Innovation Machine™, committed to transforming the way spine surgery is performed.

This is a full-time, field-based role with The Core Group, ATEC’s exclusive distributor. You will work directly in the operating room, support surgeons during procedures, manage cases, and learn the business from the ground up.

This role is not for everyone.

It is for someone who is competitive, coachable, organized, and thrives under pressure.

You will be held to a high standard — and given the opportunity to build a serious career.
