Working closely with senior leadership, marketing and events teams, you will play a pivotal role in increasing market visibility, strengthening industry credibility and generating new commercial opportunities through relationship led engagement.
No two days will be the same. One day you may be building relationships with influential sector experts; the next, representing the business at conferences, roundtables and networking events; or bringing together stakeholders to create valuable new opportunities.

- Building and managing a high quality network of industry experts and strategic partners.
- Creating opportunities that generate meaningful introductions and long term relationships.

You likely have experience in partnership management, stakeholder engagement, business development or strategic networking and are confident representing an organisation in external environments.
What We're Looking For- Proven experience building strategic partnerships or stakeholder relationships.
- Outstanding communication, networking and influencing skills.
- A commercial mindset with the ability to identify opportunities through relationships.
- Confidence engaging with senior leaders and industry influencers.
- Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
- A proactive, self motivated approach with plenty of initiative.
- Experience within healthcare, the NHS or wider public sector environments is advantageous, but not essential.
This is an opportunity to join a collaborative, ambitious organisation where your ideas, network and ability to build meaningful relationships will have a genuine impact on business growth.
You will have significant autonomy, the chance to represent the organisation at high profile industry events, and the opportunity to build a network that directly influences commercial success.
If you are passionate about connecting people, creating opportunities and building partnerships that make a difference, we'd love to hear from you.
