Associate Manager

At Stryker, we don’t just build medical technology – we empower people to make healthcare better.

We’re looking for a passionate, people-first leader to join our Field Service team as an Associate Manager, overseeing a high-performing group of Engineers across Victoria, South Australia, and Tasmania. This is your opportunity to lead a team that directly impacts patient outcomes and hospital performance – not through products, but through exceptional service and strong relationships.

What You’ll Do

• Lead from the front – coach, support, and inspire a team of 8–10 Field Service Engineers to deliver standout service and teamwork.
• Build a high-trust, high-performance culture where collaboration, accountability, and recognition are the norm.
• Develop talent – have meaningful, regular conversations with your team that focus on growth, motivation, and performance.
• Be present – regularly travel to connect with your team and customers in person, ensuring they feel seen, heard, and supported.
• Partner cross-functionally – work closely with sales, operations, and customer teams to ensure seamless service delivery.
  
  

Who You Are

• A people leader at heart – you've led and developed teams (ideally for 3+ years), and it shows in how you build culture, develop talent, and bring people together around a shared goal.
• Industry background? Not a deal-breaker. We’re less concerned with what field you’ve worked in, and more interested in how you lead. If you’ve led remote, customer-facing, or service-oriented teams—even better.
• Structured, yet flexible – you bring clarity to chaos, create smart systems, and guide your team through change with calm confidence.
• Performance-minded – you know how to keep a team focused and aligned, using data and feedback to lift performance in a supportive, motivating way.
• A connector – you thrive on building relationships, whether it’s with your team, customers, or stakeholders. You listen, you care, and you follow through.
  
  

Why Join Us?

• Make a difference that matters – be part of a team that supports life-changing medical technologies behind the scenes.
• Join a people-first culture – fun, supportive, and united by our shared purpose.
• Grow your career – access ongoing development, meaningful stretch opportunities, and leadership support.
• Experience variety – no two days are the same, and travel gives you a front-row seat to your team’s impact.
• Enjoy real benefits – from day one, with wellness, financial, and lifestyle perks designed to support you in and out of work.
