Are you a commercially driven sales professional looking for an opportunity to grow market share, build strategic partnerships, and make a meaningful difference to patients' lives? If so, we'd love to hear from you.
About the Role
As Business Development Manager, you will play a key role in identifying and securing new business opportunities to drive growth across Scotland, Northern Ireland, and North East & North Cumbria ICB.
Working across our portfolio working with brands such as Jobst®, Cutimed®, Leukoplast® and Actimove®, you will focus on developing opportunities across both acute and community healthcare settings, building strong relationships with key decision-makers, clinical stakeholders, procurement teams, and healthcare professionals.

Reporting to the Community Regional Sales Manager, this is a permanent, field-based role with a requirement to live within the territory. Regular travel throughout the region will be required, including overnight stays and occasional travel outside the territory for meetings, training, and conferences.
What You Will Do
- Identify, develop, and secure new business opportunities across acute and community healthcare settings.
- Grow existing accounts while acquiring new customers and expanding market share across the territory.
- Build strong relationships with decision makers and key clinical stakeholders.

- Negotiate contracts and successfully close business opportunities.
- Manage the sales pipeline, including forecasting, opportunity tracking, and performance reporting.
- Ensure successful implementation of new business wins by collaborating closely with internal teams and supporting customers throughout the onboarding process.
- Monitor market trends, competitor activity, and healthcare developments to identify emerging opportunities.
