- Lead and grow Vitalograph's Primary Care and Occupational Health distributor network across the UK.
- Develop and execute individual partner growth strategies.
- Build strong commercial relationships with distributor partners and senior stakeholders.
- Conduct regular business reviews and performance meetings.
- Coach distributor sales teams through joint customer visits and sales training.
