Partnerships Development Manager

We are looking for a  Partnerships Development Manager  with a strong understanding of the cardiovascular clinical environment and medical device industry.
Hybrid working - 2 days in the office and 3 days at home.

- Location, Bourne End, Buckinghamshire
This is not necessarily a traditional medical education grant-writing role. While experience in grant development and independent medical education would be valuable,  our priority is finding someone with genuine cardiovascular clinical and industry expertise .
We can provide training and support around grant development, educational needs assessments, learning objectives and the wider medical education process. What we need from day one is someone who understands the technologies, clinical evidence, treatment pathways and physicians within the cardiovascular space.
Your Background
Ideally, you will have several years' experience within the  cardiovascular medical device industry , in a role such as:
Clinical Specialist / Field Clinical Specialist
Product Specialist
Product Manager
Clinical Education / Training
Medical or Scientific Affairs
Or another clinically focused medical device role
We are particularly interested in candidates with experience in one or more of the following areas:
Structural Heart
Coronary Intervention
Interventional Cardiology
Electrophysiology (EP)
AF / VT Ablation
EP Mapping
Cardiac Rhythm Management (CRM)
Pacing
ICD / CRT
Lead Management
Cardiac Imaging
Experience delivering  formal product and clinical training  would be particularly valuable.
What You'll Do
As Partnerships Development Manager, you will work at the intersection of  cardiovascular science, clinical education and industry partnerships .
You will build relationships with leading cardiologists and electrophysiologists, developing a deep understanding of their clinical priorities and the educational gaps facing the cardiovascular community.

Your role will include:
Building and maintaining relationships with leading cardiologists, electrophysiologists, clinical faculty and industry stakeholders
Engaging with physicians to understand unmet educational needs and emerging areas of interest
Reviewing and interpreting new clinical evidence, technologies and developments in cardiovascular medicine
Understanding clinical pathways, treatment challenges and the practical realities faced by physicians
Translating clinical insights into compelling educational concepts and programmes
Supporting the development of independent medical education proposals and grant applications
Working collaboratively with internal teams to develop high-quality educational initiatives
Attending major international cardiovascular congresses and industry meetings
Identifying opportunities to develop new partnerships and strengthen existing relationships
Representing the organisation externally with credibility, confidence and professionalism
You will also have the opportunity to develop your knowledge of  medical education, educational needs assessments, learning objectives and grant development , with training and support provided where required.
What We're Looking For
Above all, we are looking for someone who is:
Clinically credible  and comfortable engaging with senior physicians
Scientifically curious , with the ability to understand and discuss clinical evidence
Experienced in, and passionate about, the cardiovascular device environment
Comfortable discussing technologies, treatment pathways and clinical challenges
A confident communicator and relationship builder
Able to translate complex clinical information into clear, meaningful educational concepts
Commercially aware and able to identify opportunities for partnership development
Comfortable working in an externally facing role with physicians and industry stakeholders
Willing and able to travel internationally

Experience of medical education grants or grant writing is  not essential . The ability to learn the medical education process is important;  what cannot easily be taught is an established understanding of the cardiovascular clinical and device landscape .
International Exposure
This is an internationally focused role, with regular engagement with physicians, faculty and industry stakeholders across multiple markets.
You should be comfortable with international travel, including attendance at approximately  3-5 major cardiovascular congresses each year . These events will provide opportunities to build relationships, understand emerging clinical trends and technologies, and identify new educational and partnership opportunities.
