• Identify compelling patient stories emerging from our implant centers and connect them to the broader marketing communications team for amplification across channels
• Define, own, and socialize European marketing KPIs that tell a clear story of quarter-over-quarter growth, supporting the patient funnel at our centers of excellence and implant centers across Europe
