Step into this Pharmaceutical Sales Manager role and build something that matters in Healthcare.
UK pharmaceutical spend keeps climbing, and the companies winning market share aren't the slow-moving giants.
They're the lean, fast-moving teams who can get a product in front of the right clinician at the right time.
This Pharmaceutical Sales Manager role sits inside exactly that kind of operation: a Healthcare startup building its commercial function from the ground up, with real autonomy for whoever takes it on.
Here's what you'll be doing: Building and managing relationships with NHS trusts, GP surgeries and private healthcare providers across the North East Owning the sales pipeline for your territory, from first contact through to signed contract Pitching product data and clinical evidence to procurement leads and prescribers in a way that actually lands Working alongside the founders to shape pricing, positioning and go-to-market strategy as the product range grows Tracking performance against targets and adjusting your approach weekly, not quarterly Representing the company at healthcare conferences and regional NHS events Here are the skills you'll need: Several years' experience in pharmaceutical or medical sales, ideally with NHS or clinical buyer exposure A working grasp of healthcare procurement cycles and formulary processes Confidence presenting clinical data to a sceptical audience, and knowing when to stop talking Comfort with ambiguity.
Startups change direction, and this Pharmaceutical Sales Manager will need to change with them Strong written and verbal communication, because you'll be writing your own pitch decks, not handed one A full driving licence, since this patch covers Newcastle and the wider region Key perks and benefits: £43,000 to £57,000, depending on experience Equity in the business.
You'll have a real stake in what you're building Hybrid working from Newcastle, with flexible hours built around your pipeline, not a clock A genuine learning and development budget, yours to spend on courses or certifications that sharpen your edge A flat structure where you'll speak to the founders directly, not file a ticket and wait Why pursue a career in Healthcare?
Healthcare sales rewards people who can hold two things at once: commercial instinct and genuine clinical credibility.
Newcastle has a strong NHS and life sciences presence, which makes it a smart base for anyone building a long-term career in the sector rather than chasing one good year.
Progress here, as a Pharmaceutical Sales Manager, and the next move is usually a regional or national commercial lead role, not a lateral shuffle.
