Competitive Salary & Excellent Company benefits
Are you excited by the opportunity to redefine respiratory care—where clinical credibility meets commercial excellence and your work directly improves patients’ lives? Join a high-performing, data-informed team shaping how care is delivered across the NHS. In this role, you’ll lead the strategy across hospitals in Devon and Kernow, using omnichannel engagement and real NHS insights to develop advocacy, accelerate adoption, and transform patient pathways. You’ll partner closely with medical, market access and cross-functional colleagues to turn insight into action, improving outcomes, and delivering measurable business impact. This is a chance to connect science and technology with the evolving needs of patients, HCPs and system partners and to see your influence reflected in real-world results.
What you’ll do:
- Lead integrated account strategy: Develop and deliver hospital account plans that drive adoption, growth and sustainable impact.
- Activate omnichannel engagement: Orchestrate digital, virtual and in‑person touchpoints aligned to tailored customer journeys. This is primarily an in-person field-based role, with digital engagement to support.
- Focus where it matters: Prioritise high‑value accounts, pathways and decision makers to maximise time and ROI.
- Be brilliant in every setting: Engage confidently across face‑to‑face 1:1 and group interactions to open doors and build momentum.
- Earn trust as the respiratory expert: Be a credible, go‑to partner for NHS customers and colleagues.
- Keep patients at the centre: Anchor every HCP interaction in outcomes, safety and value.
- Translate insight into action: Share field insights and involve medical colleagues at the right moments to accelerate decisions.
- Harness data for decisions: Use sales data and NHS datasets (e.g., RightCare, HES) to spot opportunities with clear, measurable ROI.
- Deliver results: Meet KPIs, achieve regional sales targets, grow market share and flawlessly execute agreed projects.
- Mobilise influence: Map stakeholders and build advocates across secondary care and PCNs to drive lasting change.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
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.
