  • New Business Development — Identify, pursue and secure new healthcare sites, driving incremental revenue.
  • Stakeholder Relationship Management — Develop trusted relationships with senior decision‑makers across the healthcare landscape.
  • Sales Leadership & Execution — Lead the full sales cycle from first conversation to installation, ensuring a smooth customer journey.
  • Contract Negotiation & Renewal — Negotiate complex commercial agreements and oversee renewal strategies to maximise retention.
  • Team Leadership & Coaching — Motivate, coach and develop your team to exceed targets and deliver exceptional standards.
  • Market & Competitor Insight — Stay ahead of trends, opportunities and competitive movements within the industry.
  • Internal Collaboration — Work closely with senior internal stakeholders to resolve challenges quickly and maintain strong cross‑functional relationships.
  • CRM & Pipeline Excellence — Ensure accurate forecasting, strong pipeline discipline and consistent CRM compliance across the team.

What You’ll Bring

  • Proven leadership experience in a senior sales or management role.
  • Strong commercial acumen with a track record of exceeding revenue targets.
  • Deep understanding of the healthcare vertical.
  • Exceptional communication skills, confident with C‑suite stakeholders and complex negotiations.
  • Analytical mindset with the ability to interpret data and make sound commercial recommendations.
