The role
We're looking for an ambitious, curious and commercially minded Partnerships Development Associate to join our growing commercial team and help bring Isla's technology to more healthcare organisations.
This is a fantastic opportunity for someone looking to build a career in consultative sales. You'll combine research and proactive business development with the opportunity to connect with NHS clinicians and decision-makers, understand the challenges they're facing and show them how Isla could help.
You'll take ownership of the early stages of our sales process, from finding and reaching out to potential partners to building relationships, running introductory meetings and demonstrating our platform.
This isn't just about generating leads or booking meetings. You will get to know the people you're speaking to, ask great questions and understand what matters to them. You'll learn to spot where Isla could make a real difference and work closely with our senior Partnership Leads to turn those initial conversations into lasting partnerships.
We're looking for someone who enjoys meeting new people, is naturally curious and loves getting to the bottom of a problem. You'll need the confidence to start conversations, the resilience to keep going when things don't work out and, just as importantly, the ability to listen, build trust and make people feel understood.
You don't need to know the NHS or other healthcare systems inside out. We're much more interested in your attitude, initiative and willingness to learn. If you're excited to take on responsibility early, develop your skills and play a part in changing how healthcare is delivered, we'd love to hear from you!

Who we are
Isla Health is a venture-backed health-tech scale-up, supporting our partners across the UK, EU and internationally. We have built a new category of healthcare technology which we refer to as the Digital Pathway Platform (DPP). Founded in 2019, we now support 25% of NHS Trusts and a submission of patient data is made on the platform every 20 seconds
As a company, we're all laser focused on enabling a scalable model of care which empowers healthcare staff and improves patient outcomes. The DPP supports this by setting up digital pathways which are remote-first and asynchronous. As pathways harness sophisticated automation, clinical algorithms and intelligent cohorting, patients always take the optimised route through their pathway, thereby delivering a step change in clinical productivity.

Take ownership of targeted outbound activity across email, phone and LinkedIn, finding thoughtful and effective ways to engage prospective partners.
Lead early-stage customer conversations: Build relationships with clinicians, operational teams and NHS decision-makers. Run initial discovery meetings, asking insightful questions to understand their challenges, priorities and existing ways of working.
Demonstrate the value of our platform: Deliver engaging introductory and clinical demonstrations of Isla, adapting your approach to different audiences and helping prospective partners understand how our technology could improve their services.
Qualify prospective partnerships: Go beyond generating interest to understand whether there is a genuine opportunity for Isla.…
