Business Development Lead - North

Accurx is solving healthcare productivity for the NHS. For decades, the NHS has struggled with fragmented systems that make simple tasks feel impossible. At Accurx, we’re changing that by building a single, system-wide platform that helps every patient get gold-standard, efficient, and joined-up care. What started as a way for GPs to text a patient has now evolved into an all-in-one digital toolkit used by 98% of GP practices. Our platform now powers Total Triage to manage patient demand, and Self-Book, which lets patients schedule their own appointments in seconds. We’ve automated routine care with Patient Questionnaires for long-term conditions, while Accumail finally allows staff-to-staff communication to happen instantly across different care settings. We’re now pushing the boundaries of the consultation itself with Accurx Scribe, our AI-powered note-taker that drafts medical notes in real-time. We’re not just shipping features. We’re giving clinicians their time back and ensuring every patient journey is as smooth as it should be.

As our Business Development Lead for the North, you will act as a high-impact player‑coach leading our mid‑market SME sales strategy across primary care networks, GP practices, and federations. You’ll balance hands‑on selling and revenue generation with building and coaching a high‑performing outbound sales team as we launch exciting new products across the region. Please note: while this role is based in London, travel throughout the North of England will be required.

• Ground‑level user engagement: Attending webinars, regional events, and speaking directly with primary care stakeholders to stay close to market needs and lead by example.
• Leveraging cutting‑edge AI tools: Integrating AI tooling (such as Notion AI) into your team's workflow to capture customer insights, refine audience segmentation, and automate sequence tasks so your team spends more time with users.
• Cross‑functional collaboration: Partnering closely with marketing, the wider BD team and our Customer Success team to drive seamless deal conversion and wider regional growth.
