Regional Healthcare Manager - London and East of England

Location London, England, United Kingdom Job ID R\-259573 Date posted 06/09/2026

Job Title: Regional Healthcare Manager

Location: London and East of England

Competitive Salary and Benefits

Introduction to role:

Are you ready to shape system\-level access across London and the East of England and accelerate the uptake of innovative medicines where they matter most? Can you see yourself unlocking change with ICB leaders, medicines management teams and health innovation networks to improve outcomes at scale?

This senior, field\-based, customer\-facing role drives market access and market shaping for an inline asset and a strong pipeline of launches. You will orchestrate complex, cross\-stakeholder programs that translate national guidance into local adoption, reduce time\-to\-access, and enable more patients to benefit sooner.

You will operate as a strategic partner to priority customers across the region, leading without formal authority, and working closely with cross\-functional colleagues to deliver rapid formulary alignment, pathway updates and joint working that supports sustainable, population\-level impact.

Accountabilities:

• Market Access Delivery: Secure and accelerate formulary inclusion and guideline alignment in line with national approvals; remove local barriers to access and shorten time from guidance to use.


• Market Shaping: Shape care pathways and commissioning approaches across systems; design and deliver joint working that enables more patients to be managed and treated across settings.


• Strategic Customer Leadership: Map, prioritize and lead engagement with ICB decision\-makers, including medicines management, strategic commissioning, finance leads, long\-term conditions leads and health innovation networks.


• Launch Readiness: Build pre\-launch momentum with clear plans, milestones and stakeholder commitment so new indications and assets can be adopted quickly and compliantly from day one.


• Cross\-Functional Influence: Act as a regional leader without line management, aligning sales, medical and marketing around system goals; coach others on access strategy and raise the standard of execution.


• Outcomes and Insight: Set measurable access objectives, track progress at market level and course\-correct using data; share insights that shape regional strategy and national best practice.


• Governance and Compliance: Uphold ABPI and local governance requirements; maintain appropriate separation from promotional activity while advancing population health objectives.


• Territory Execution: Cover the whole of London and the East of England with effective territory planning, stakeholder mapping and time management that maximizes impact.

• Proven experience operating at ICB/system level in the UK, not solely hospital/trust experience.


• Demonstrated success engaging medicines management, strategic commissioning and health innovation networks to deliver access outcomes.


• Track record of market access and market shaping, including influencing formulary decisions, pathway updates and system\-wide adoption.


• Evidence of designing and delivering joint working or similar multi\-stakeholder projects that improve patient access.


• Relevant UK experience in pharmaceuticals or medical devices in strategic, system\-facing roles.


• Strong stakeholder management with the ability to influence senior decision\-makers and build trust in hard\-to\-access environments.


• Commercial acumen focused on market\-level outcomes and growth, with clear measurement of impact beyond direct selling.


• ABPI qualification required for pharma backgrounds; candidates from medical devices considered where ABPI is not required.


• Based in, or able to effectively cover, London and the East of England, with willingness to travel across the region.

• Experience preparing for and executing launches, including alignment to national guidance and local governance.


• Familiarity with NICE processes, regional formulary committees and ICB financial drivers.


• Proven leadership without authority within cross\-functional teams, including coaching and capability building.


• Success delivering system change across both primary and secondary care settings.


• Therapy area experience is welcome but not essential; the ability to learn and lead in new disease areas quickly is key.

Join a team that brings diverse minds together to solve big, real\-world health challenges with urgency and precision. Here, unexpected teams sit in the same room to unleash bold thinking, pairing deep scientific expertise with practical, system\-level execution that improves care for populations. We value kindness alongside ambition, and we back our people with the tools and partnerships to turn a strong pipeline into meaningful change for patients and health systems. Your work will ripple across communities—transforming guidance into action and ideas into better health at scale.
