Marketing Communications Manager

Job Description

Job Description

About the Role
SurGenTec is an emerging spine and orthopedic biologics company headquartered in Boca Raton, FL, built around a next-generation cortical fiber platform — including OsteoFlo HydroFiber — that is redefining bone-healing technology. We are seeking a hands-on Marketing Communications Manager who can translate complex procedural and clinical science into compelling, FDA-compliant content across surgeon, distributor, and patient-facing channels.

This is not a generalist marketing role. The ideal candidate has deep familiarity with spine, SI joint fusion, lumbar biologics, or cervical procedures; understands how surgeons consume clinical information; and has built the full spectrum of medical device marcom deliverables — from surgical technique guides to trade show booth copy to regulatory-reviewed promotional decks.

You will report to the Director of Marketing and work in close coordination with the Director of Clinical Education, the VP of International Sales, and the field distributor network.

Working knowledge of 21 CFR Part 801, FDA promotional guidance for devices, and off-label communication guardrails
Demonstrated experience navigating a Medical-Legal-Regulatory (MLR) review workflow
