• Cultivating genuine, mutually beneficial relationships at senior and C-suite level
• Leading and directing account teams to prioritise opportunities and execute clear action plans
• Overseeing successful campaign delivery to maximise repeat business and account growth
• Owning the financial health of your portfolio — revenue, billings, forecasting, and CRM accuracy
• Working with autonomy through ambiguity — networking internally to build solutions that are both deliverable and commercially sound
• Turning performance data into compelling insight for your clients
• Representing the business at industry conferences and exhibitions

What You'll Bring

• A proven track record in B2B sales/business development within pharma or healthcare
• Experience selling strategically aligned digital solutions into pharma — with the ability to hunt, propose with credibility, and close
• A strong existing network within the pharma/healthcare sector
• The confidence to build lasting relationships at every level, from C-suite down

Why You'll Love It Here

• 25 days annual leave
• Bonus scheme linked to personal and company performance
• Pension: 4% employee / 4% employer
• Staff discounts + discounted gym membership
