The Opportunity
We're looking for a Sales Manager to lead commercial relationships across our B2B customer base- pharmacies, wholesalers and healthcare partners. You'll manage a small sales team, own the B2B commercial pipeline, and join our Management Leadership Team to help shape strategy and priorities across the business.
This is a genuinely commercial role but one that sits inside a healthcare and regulatory framework. We're looking for someone who can combine strong sales instincts with the discipline and credibility needed to operate responsibly in a controlled-medicines environment.
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.
What You'll Do
- Own and grow a portfolio of B2B accounts, building long-term, trust-based relationships
- Lead, coach and develop a small sales team, setting objectives and supporting their growth
- Deliver against agreed sales, margin and retention targets, with accurate pipeline forecasting
- Identify new commercial opportunities within approved customer segments and territory
- Act as the primary point of contact for key accounts, working cross-functionally with supply, quality and customer service
- Monitor market and competitor dynamics, feeding insight back into the business
- Represent Curaleaf professionally at trade and industry events, within the bounds of applicable codes of practice
- Maintain accurate CRM records and reporting against KPIs
What We're Looking For
Essential
- Demonstrable B2B sales and account-management experience, ideally in pharmaceutical, healthcare, life sciences or another regulated sector
- Experience managing a remote sales team
- A track record of meeting or exceeding commercial targets
- Strong relationship-building, negotiation and communication skills
- Comfortable working within a compliance-led environment
- Well organised, with strong commercial numeracy and CRM discipline
- Full UK driving licence and willingness to travel within the territory

Desirable
- Experience selling into pharmacies, clinics or wholesalers
- Understanding of the UK medical cannabis or controlled-drugs landscape
- Experience coaching or mentoring others
Operating in a Regulated Environment
This isn't a typical sales role, and we're not looking for a typical sales background. You'll be trusted to build commercial relationships with pharmacies, clinics and wholesalers while working confidently within the UK regulatory framework that governs medical cannabis and controlled drugs - think MHRA requirements, GPhC-registered pharmacy context, Home Office considerations, and the codes of practice that shape how we engage with healthcare professionals.
You'll also be the kind of person who speaks up: if something doesn't look right from a compliance, quality or regulatory perspective, you'll raise it quickly and through the right channels.
What we offer
- Competitive base salary plus performance related bonus
- Generous holiday allowance
- Private medical insurance
- Group Life Assurance
Curaleaf International is committed to a diverse and inclusive workplace. We value individuals from all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, and we embrace the unique qualities each person brings. When you apply, please let us know of any reasonable adjustments you may need during the interview process.
