Job context
The International Society of Ultrasound in Obstetrics and Gynecology (ISUOG) is a highly respected professional membership organisation across 165 countries comprised primarily of clinicians who are ultrasound experts in the field of obstetrics and gynecology. The Society includes obstetricians and gynecologists, trainees, medical doctors, scientists, sonographers, midwives and other health professionals who work to advance women’s health and well-being globally. Our mission is to improve women’s health through the provision, advancement and dissemination of the highest quality education, standards and research information around ultrasound in obstetrics and gynecology. This is achieved through education and training, programmatic initiatives and advocacy.
Job purpose
This new role is a strategic and hands-on business development role responsible for growing and diversifying ISUOG’s non-membership income through sponsorship, strategic partnerships, and industry relationships. The role combines high-level relationship strategy with the practical delivery of commercial agreements - identifying, pitching, negotiating and contracting new partners, while working closely with the CEO and relevant ISUOG teams (who own delivery/fulfilment) to ensure sponsors and partners receive what they were promised.
This is a revenue-generating and relationship-building role at the heart of the ISUOG’s commercial strategy, requiring credibility with senior industry stakeholders and the confidence to sell the Society's value proposition. The role makes an important contribution to organisational strategy and external relations.
