Why Join Elemental

Quick intro to Elemental

A scale-up that started in 2019, we developed & launched (in partnership with Catholic University of Leuven) an innovative periodontal wound dressing. This protocol has now been scientifically validated to be the fastest & least painful way to manage the donor site after palatal grafting.

To bring this to market we’ve built an incredible community of opinion leaders & distribution partners across Europe. To support these efforts, we’re looking for someone to join our team to both follow-up with all the interest as well as help new customers build the habit!

The vibe

A very fresh team

The current operational team (3 members in their 30s) thrives in an entrepreneurial environment with little bureaucracy.

Upbeat & playful atmosphere

The fact we are a young company, with so many exciting developments going on, is reflected in the daily interactions between the team, partners, and customers.

Very passionate & driven

Our positive mindset does not mean we don’t take our work seriously. Working at Elemental means being surrounded with people who are passionate about what they do.

Committed to excellence

We believe that doing things well and constantly trying to improve them leads to more joy & is more rewarding in the long-term. That’s why Elemental is committed to excellence throughout the organisation.

The excitement

Experiencing rapid growth up close

There’s something very energising about seeing an idea take off and becoming a gold standard in a matter of years. Joining Elemental means experiencing this from the front row.

The positive feedback

At its core, our Elemental PerioPlast solution helps clinicians save time and avoids post-operative pain for patients. You can imagine how heart-warming the feedback is we get from the customers we are serving.

Clearly seeing your impact

Joining Elemental in the current phase means being part of a small team with a lot of stuff to get done. This means that, at the end of the week, it will always be very clear how you contributed to the bigger picture.

The community

Get inspired by thought leaders

Our solution has won the hearts of the most respected clinicians in perio-implantology. This means that in your daily work you partner with the biggest names in the field. I can attest to that myself that this leads to feeling inspired on a near constant basis.

Surround yourself with forward thinking clinicians

Being a relatively new solution means that we are primarily serving clinicians who enjoy progress & innovation. This turns out to be a very pleasant audience with a very positive outlook on the future.

Build relationships with key players in the industry

At this point, our network has matured to the point that it is a collection of key players in perio-implantology: from market-leading distribution partners to high-profile academics or world-renowned opinion leaders, working at Elemental also means upgrading your professional network.

The freedom

Flexible work-setup

Getting started in 2019 - virtually during the pandemic - has led to a collaborative process that is extremely flexible. We are remote first and predominantly communicate online. In terms of working hours, the team is still small enough to take personal preferences into account. That said, being customer-centric, our working hours are mostly taking into account clinical opening hours & congresses.

International setting that allows for travel

A big part of our growth is fueled by being present at international congresses & courses. There’s plenty of opportunity to attend those for team members who are drawn to that.

Conclusion

Long story short, at Elemental we believe that meaningful work & meaningful relationships are critical ingredients for making the most out of life. Joining our organisation means joining a team of people who live that: it’s an adventure where you can shine as an individual, surrounded by light hearted people who care about what they do.

To put it in the words of Prof. Markus Hürzeler: “not so bad, right”?

Looking forward to meeting you all,
