National Key Account Manager - Uro-Oncology

At Ferring Pharmaceuticals, we help people around the world build families and live better lives. We are entrepreneurial and innovative, with a global team focused on scientific advances in the areas of reproductive and women’s health, gastroenterology and urology. Ferring + You is all about working together and sharing ideas, so that we can bring science to life for patients around the world.

Our Commercial teams collaborate as trusted partners with patient groups, clinicians, policy makers and the scientific community to identify and develop new opportunities to help patients. Customer centric, we offer an empowering, entrepreneurial culture – and a place to thrive and grow.

As part of this ambition, we continue to strengthen our presence in Uro-Oncology, building on an established portfolio and preparing for an exciting private market launch planned for 2027. To support this, we are shaping a lean, high-impact field team focused on enabling commercial access to an innovative intravesical gene therapy — the first of its kind to be licensed in the UK. This role offers the opportunity to play a key part in introducing a first-in-class treatment within a focused, specialist market.

This is a national field-based role focused entirely on the private oncology and urology market. As National Key Account Manager (KAM) you will be responsible for establishing and managing relationships with the specialist urologists, oncologists and multidisciplinary teams across a defined network of private cancer centres — principally in London and the South East, with national coverage across a further five to six regional centres.

Your primary objective is to secure and accelerate patient access to a novel intravesical gene therapy launching in 2027 — working through private medical insurers, specialist private hospital networks and self-funding patient pathways. This is not a volume-driven detailing role. It is a high-value, high-complexity key account management position requiring strategic relationship management, commercial acumen and deep understanding of how private oncology operates in the UK.

You will work closely with the Commercial Lead - Uro-Oncology on access strategy and insurer engagement, and with the Field Medical Advisor - Uro-Oncology on clinical education and KOL development.

What This Role Offers

• The opportunity to be the commercial lead on the UK private market launch of a first-in-class intravesical gene therapy — a genuinely career-defining assignment
• A focused, high-value account universe — quality over quantity, strategic over transactional
• Close working relationship with a senior commercial team and direct exposure to launch strategy
• Real autonomy and ownership in a lean, entrepreneurial environment

Behind our innovation...There’s you

• Significant experience in a KAM or specialist sales role within oncology, haematology or a high-value specialty therapy area
• Proven track record of navigating private market access — PMI reimbursement, private hospital networks or high-cost therapy commissioning pathways
• Experience working with high-cost, low-volume specialty products where access complexity is the primary commercial challenge
• Strong commercial and financial acumen — able to articulate budget impact arguments and value propositions to clinical and non-clinical stakeholders
• Self-starter with the ability to operate independently in a lean team without traditional sales infrastructure
• Excellent relationship management skills — credible and confident with senior clinicians, medical directors and insurer personnel
• Full UK driving license

A plus if you also have:

• Direct experience in bladder cancer, urological cancers or intravesical therapy — existing relationships with UK private urology centers a significant advantage.
• Experience in CAR-T, cell and gene therapy or other ATMP commercial environments — familiarity with BUPA List A, specialist commissioning or complex funding pathways.
• Experience launching a new product in the UK private market from pre-launch through to established access.
• Existing network across London private oncology/urology (Royal Marsden, HCA, LOC/Harley Street, The Christie).
