The opportunity Help build an NHS pipeline from the ground up. You'll identify, engage and qualify new opportunities across the NHS, then hand them to the commercial team to take through the sales cycle. You'll target GP Federations, Primary Care Networks, NHS Trusts, Community Diagnostic Centres and Integrated Care Boards.

• Market mapping and prospecting
  Use available data to map target ICBs, Trusts, GP Federations and CDCs. Prioritise those with a clear diagnostic need, backlogs or service redesign plans. Identify key stakeholders in each account. These include clinicians, nurses and physiologists, plus service managers, transformation leads, commissioners and procurement. Use national and regional NHS priorities to target your outreach.
• Engagement
  Run multi-channel outreach (virtual calls, email, Linked In and events) to secure first meetings with clinical and non-clinical stakeholders. Lead discovery conversations about current diagnostic pathways, pain points, capacity and patient outcomes. Explain the clinical and operational value of the solution and its supporting evidence, staying within approved claims. Bring in colleagues from clinical, technical and operational teams where they add value.
  
  Represent the business at conferences, NHS network meetings and regional events.
• Qualification and handover
  Qualify opportunities against an agreed framework in Salesforce and build a strong top-of-funnel pipeline. Hand over qualified opportunities with a full account brief, stakeholder map and agreed next steps. Stay involved after handover to support relationships while the commercial team leads the sales cycle.
• Pipeline and insight
  Keep CRM records accurate and report weekly on activity, pipeline throughput and conversion. Feed market and customer insight back to the wider business. Follow all applicable regulatory, compliance and NHS engagement standards, including data protection.

• Essential 3+ years' experience in NHS-facing business development or account management.
