Job description

Key Account & Access Manager (UK) – Cytokinetics

Cytokinetics is a late‑stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering muscle biology to transform the lives of people with serious cardiovascular and neuromuscular diseases. As they prepare for the European launch of their first cardiovascular therapy, we at subrosa are supporting Cytokinetics in building a specialist UK field team that will shape adoption across NHS pathways from day one.

Why this role matters

If you thrive in high‑impact environments, love building something new and want to be part of a launch that genuinely changes patient care, this role puts you at the centre of it. As a Key Account & Access Manager, you will be the face of Cytokinetics in your region—driving access, adoption and sustained growth across specialist centres, ICBs and provider organisations.

This is a role for someone who enjoys autonomy, takes ownership, and knows how to turn interest into operational reality. You’ll blend sales excellence with NHS access know‑how, working with decision‑makers to ensure patients can benefit from a potential next generation therapy.

Key Account & Access Manager (m/f/d)

Territory: North West, England & West Midlands, United Kingdom

What you’ll do

• Lead access, adoption and growth across your territory
• Own strategic accounts and deliver against KPIs and commercial targets
• Build trusted relationships with clinicians, pharmacists, commissioners and pathway leads
• Translate complex data into compelling, compliant value discussions
• Shape local pathways, secure formulary inclusion and remove adoption barriers
• Use insights and data to prioritise, plan and execute
• Collaborate cross‑functionally to deliver a seamless customer experience
• Drive workshops, pathway reviews and service‑development initiatives
• Operate with pace, clarity and resilience in a lean, growing organisation

What you bring

• 5+ years UK biotech/pharma experience in secondary care sales or field market access
• Proven launch experience (essential)
• Hands‑on local access/adoption delivery (not just strategy)
• Strong understanding of NHS decision‑making, commissioning and provider dynamics
• Ability to influence, secure commitments and progress adoption to operational start
• High ownership, adaptability and problem‑solving strength
• Full driving licence and willingness to travel

If you’re motivated by meaningful impact, enjoy building strong clinical and system partnerships, and want to help bring a potential next-in-class cardiovascular therapy to patients across the UK, we’d love to speak with you.
