Ambitious Pharmaceutical Sales Manager wanted to drive real impact in Healthcare from Cardiff.
Healthcare providers across Wales are under constant pressure to improve patient outcomes while managing tighter budgets, and that makes the link between sales teams and clinical decision-makers more important than it's ever been.
This growing SME, established in the pharmaceutical sector, needs a Pharmaceutical Sales Manager who understands how to build trust with NHS buyers and private healthcare providers alike.
It's a role with real weight behind it, in a city that's become a genuine hub for UK healthcare innovation.
Here's what you'll be doing: Lead and develop a regional sales team covering Cardiff and the wider South Wales healthcare network Build and maintain relationships with NHS trusts, private clinics, and pharmacy groups across the region Set sales targets and pricing strategy for the pharmaceutical product portfolio, then report on progress monthly Identify new business opportunities within Healthcare, from hospital procurement teams to independent practices Coach junior sales reps on product knowledge, compliance requirements, and negotiation technique Work closely with marketing and medical affairs to make sure messaging stays accurate and compliant Here are the skills you'll need: A proven track record in pharmaceutical or medical sales, ideally with some people management under your belt Solid understanding of NHS procurement processes and ABPI compliance standards Strong commercial instincts.
You'll need to read a market and act on it, not just follow a script Confident communicator who can hold their own with clinicians, procurement leads, and junior staff in the same week Comfortable with CRM systems and sales reporting tools A degree in life sciences, business, or a related field is useful but not essential if the experience is there Key perks and benefits: Salary of £42,500 to £57,000, depending on experience Hybrid working, so you're not stuck commuting into Cardiff five days a week Private medical insurance and a solid pension contribution Bonus scheme tied to team and individual performance Generous annual leave with flexible working built in, not just offered as a line in a handbook Why pursue a career in Healthcare?
Healthcare in the UK keeps growing, and pharmaceutical sales sits right at the centre of that.
Cardiff has quietly built a strong cluster of healthcare employers, research bodies, and NHS infrastructure, which makes it a smart base for anyone serious about this field long-term.
Do well in a Pharmaceutical Sales Manager role like this one and the next step, regional or national sales leadership, tends to come quickly.
