What is the job?
As the Emerging Markets Lead for our international expansion, you'll be responsible for shaping how Montu brings new products, services, and commercial initiatives to market - driving growth, unlocking new opportunities, and ensuring every launch delivers real impact for patients, clinicians, and our partners.
This is far more than a traditional strategy role. You'll own the entire go-to-market journey, from identifying opportunities and developing commercial strategies through to rolling up your sleeves and making them happen. One day you could be presenting a market expansion strategy to the Executive Leadership Team; the next you'll be on the road meeting clinicians, commercial partners, and key stakeholders, gathering insights, solving problems, and ensuring launches land successfully.
You'll shape the market entry and then become the connective tissue between our Commercial, Clinical, Marketing, Operations, Product, and Customer teams, aligning everyone behind a shared vision and ensuring we execute at pace. You'll constantly be looking ahead - spotting market trends, identifying growth opportunities, strengthening partnerships, and finding smarter ways to reach more patients in an evolving healthcare landscape.
We're looking for someone who combines exceptional commercial instinct with structured, data-driven thinking. You'll likely have developed your toolkit in consulting, strategy, or commercial transformation, ideally within healthcare, healthtech, or another regulated industry, but what really matters is your ability to turn complex challenges into practical action and inspire others to come with you.
This is a highly visible role with significant exposure to senior leadership and genuine influence over the future direction of the business. You'll spend time traveling internationally, building relationships, supporting launches, and staying close to the realities of the market - because the best strategies are built by people who see what's happening first-hand.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
If you're excited by building from the ground up, thrive in fast-paced, high-growth environments, and want to leave your mark on a business that's transforming healthcare, this is an opportunity to do exactly that. Every decision you make, every partnership you build, and every launch you deliver will help shape the future of Montu and improve access to life-changing care for thousands of patients.
What will you be doing?
- Own the end-to-end go-to-market strategy for new products, propositions, and partnerships, from initial thesis through to launch and scale
- Build the business cases, market sizing, and prioritisation frameworks that determine where we play and how we win
- Translate strategy into structured, actionable rollout plans with clear milestones, owners, and KPIs
- Travel internationally to build relationships with partners, pharmacies, clinicians, and other key stakeholders on the ground
- Work cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, Product, and Clinical teams to align on GTM priorities and remove blockers to execution
- Represent Montu at industry events, partner meetings, and in-market visits, acting as a credible face of the business
- Track performance against launch plans, course-correcting quickly where results diverge from expectations
- Bring an outside-in view of the market - competitor moves, regulatory shifts, and emerging opportunities - back into the business
- Present findings, plans, and recommendations clearly and persuasively to senior leadership
What do you need?
- A background in strategy or management consulting, with a track record of structured problem-solving delivered at pace
- Experience in healthcare, healthtech, or a related regulated industry is strongly preferred
- A genuine willingness and ability to travel extensively - this role is not desk-bound, and being out with partners and in-market is central to the job
- Strong analytical and commercial instincts, with the ability to build a clear business case from a loose brief
- Excellent stakeholder management skills, comfortable influencing senior internal and external audiences
- A bias to action - equally happy building the strategy deck and then rolling up your sleeves to execute it
- Highly self-motivated and comfortable operating autonomously in a fast-moving, scale-up environment where priorities can shift quickly
- An interest in cannabis-based medicines and a genuine belief in improving patient access to modern healthcare treatments would be a bonus
- Bonus points if you have also led market entry strategy to Poland
