What the job involves
- This Senior Director will be a core member of the Butterfly sales growth team, reporting to the VP Global Growth & Customer Success. This leader will own Butterfly’s commercial growth outside in Europe leading all sales across Europe and the UK
- A primary focus will be building, scaling, and managing Butterfly’s European distribution network. This leader will own the full distributor lifecycle—from market prioritization and partner identification through negotiation, onboarding, launch, sell-through, and ongoing performance management
- Success will be measured by revenue growth and distributor productivity, not simply establishing partnerships.

- You lead the European team and partner closely with Sales Operations, Marketing, Professional Services, Finance, and Legal to build a repeatable model for entering and scaling international markets
Our take
Ultrasound machines are invaluable tools for clinicians, but remain inaccessible to many. This is due to existing machines relying on quartz-powered transducers and other specialized components, resulting in them being very large and expensive. Butterfly Network builds inexpensive and compact ultrasound technology in order to increase access to clinics across the US.
The company's device is around the same size as an electric razor, a design made possible by storing the ultrasound technology on a chip as opposed to a semi-conductor. Whilst Butterfly Network has not innovated the ultrasound process itself, it has found a unique gap in the market with this approach.
In addition to the device, Butterfly Network supplies image interpretation for a monthly cost. It also operates ''Butterfly Garden'', where medical device companies, virtual care companies, and AI developers can access its software development kit. This enables new applications to be created that support the innovation of ultrasound technology.
