Your profile
At Sectra we hire you more for who you are and your will and ability to learn, than for your previous experience. We expect you to be well-educated and have good grades, but also to have a sense of humor when that is appropriate (life is too short not to have fun). If you are the correct person, and a fast learner, we will have no problem teaching you what you need to know.
For this position we have the following requirements:
- Have a Master’s or Bachelor’s degree within engineering, marketing or business with good grades
- Have a good understanding and interest in IT systems, either by formal training or by self learning.

- Entrepreneurial and outwardsgoing mind-set, being able to grab business opportunities and enjoy working independently with high responsibility
- Strong analytical and communication skills, and have an interest in business development
In addition, we consider it an asset if you also:
- Have knowledge of medical IT systems and standards
- Have a background and network in pathology and/or healthcare IT
- Prepared to move to Connecticut and work from our office in Shelton
- Speak more languages than those required above
- Good at writing articles, reference stories and creating market material
- Have experience from sales in medical IT or working as a management consultant
Have other skills, such as;
- Have a pilot’s license (we have many pilots at Sectra who fly to our customers).
- Sing, play musical instruments, etc. We have a lively music tradition at Sectra.
- Have a background in sports.
