About Checkpoint Surgical

Checkpoint Surgical is a growth-stage medical device company headquartered in Cleveland, OH. We develop and commercialize instruments and biologics for peripheral nerve surgery — a market we helped define and continue to lead. Our products are used by hand surgeons, plastic surgeons, and orthopedic specialists across the country. With roughly 60 employees and a national sales network, we operate with the speed of a startup and the clinical credibility of an established brand.

We are adding a Marketing Coordinator to support our growing commercial and education programs. This role sits at the intersection of field execution, surgeon education, and internal collaboration — and is a strong fit for someone who thrives on logistics, detail, and cross-functional ownership.

The Role

The Marketing Coordinator will own the planning and execution of local and regional surgeon education events, including dinner programs, hands-on workshops, and product training sessions. You will work closely with our VP of Marketing, Regional Sales Managers, and clinical team to design high-quality educational experiences that advance surgeon adoption and support our commercial strategy.

This is a highly operational role that requires strong project management skills, vendor relationships, and the ability to manage multiple events simultaneously across different geographies.
