Strategic Healthcare Partner

Are you a commercially minded healthcare professional who thrives on building partnerships that truly make a difference? At Essity, we’re looking for a Strategic Healthcare Partner to join our Health & Medical team, where your expertise in the NHS or wider healthcare environment will help shape better patient outcomes. This is a role where strategy meets purpose - working collaboratively with healthcare providers to transform services and improve lives.

If you’re passionate about innovation, partnership and delivering meaningful impact, this could be your next step.

As a Strategic Healthcare Partner, you’ll play a pivotal role in driving change across the healthcare system. Working within our Health & Medical business, you will collaborate closely with both internal teams and external healthcare stakeholders to develop and deliver solutions that improve patient outcomes and service efficiency. You’ll operate in a highly patient-centric and specialist environment, aligning NHS priorities with Essity’s solutions to create long-term, sustainable value for all partners. This is a permanent, territory based role with the ideal candidate being situated in the North of England or the South of Scotland (M62 Corridor and above).

No two days look the same in this role, but you can expect to:

• Build and develop strategic partnerships with key stakeholders across London and the South East, including Directors, Service Managers and Clinical professionals
• Identify challenges and opportunities within healthcare services and co-create value-driven solutions
• Shape and deliver service development plans that enhance patient pathways and clinical outcomes
• Influence and support the adoption of new services and innovative approaches across healthcare settings
• Work cross-functionally with internal teams such as Account Management to align activity with broader business objectives
• Develop compelling business cases and project plans that demonstrate both clinical and commercial value
• Stay close to evolving NHS priorities and healthcare trends to proactively identify new opportunities

You bring a strong blend of commercial thinking and healthcare insight, with a natural ability to build trust and influence at all levels. We’d love to hear from you if you:

• Have experience working within the NHS or wider healthcare environment
• Combine a strategic, sales-led mindset with a genuine focus on improving patient care
• Thrive on building long-term, collaborative partnerships that deliver mutual value
• Are confident developing business cases, proposals and service development plans
• Bring strong project management skills and can manage multiple priorities effectively
• Are proactive, adaptable and comfortable working in a fast-paced environment
• Enjoy identifying and developing new business opportunities

Our purpose, Breaking Barriers to Well-being, provides meaning to everything we do. Working at Essity means the opportunity to improve well-being for people and drive positive change for society and the environment. You’ll be part of a collaborative, inclusive culture where you are empowered to grow, challenged to innovate, and supported to deliver meaningful results.
