Senior Commercial Manager

Job description

Senior Commercial Manager – Private Market | Obesity | UK

An exceptional opportunity to join a global healthcare leader at the forefront of one of the fastest-growing and most strategically important therapy areas.

With a strong heritage in chronic disease innovation, our client is investing significantly in its UK private market business and is now seeking a Senior Commercial Manager – Private Market to drive growth across this priority area.

The Opportunity

This is a high-impact commercial role operating within a complex and evolving healthcare ecosystem.

You will lead growth across a portfolio of strategic accounts, identifying opportunities to increase market share, revenue and long-term value.

Key partners include national pharmacy groups, private providers, online platforms, healthcare professionals and key opinion leaders.

This is not a traditional sales role. It requires someone who can operate with credibility across both commercial and clinical environments — leading negotiations, shaping partnerships and influencing senior stakeholders.

You will need the gravitas to engage at senior level with finance leaders, commercial directors and clinicians, with a clear understanding of partnership economics, value creation and long-term growth.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and grow a portfolio of strategic private market accounts
• Develop and execute commercial growth plans
• Build senior relationships across partners, HCPs and KOLs
• Identify and convert new business opportunities
• Negotiate partnership agreements and deliver long-term value
• Analyse performance, market trends and ROI
• Deliver forecasts, business plans and insights
• Collaborate cross-functionally across marketing, medical, finance and compliance
• Ensure full adherence to ABPI Code and company standards

About You

• ABPI qualified (essential)
• Proven success in senior account management or commercial roles within pharma/healthcare
• Experience managing complex national or enterprise accounts
• Exposure to private / self-pay healthcare environments advantageous
• Strong commercial acumen, negotiation and analytical capability
• Ability to engage both commercial stakeholders and healthcare professionals
• Experience working cross-functionally in a matrix environment
• Gravitas, credibility and strong stakeholder influence
• Entrepreneurial mindset with pace and resilience

Why Join?

This is a rare opportunity to help build a market within a global leader in a high-growth category.
