Job description

Overview

Ready to Shape the Future of Healthcare Access?

Our client are on the hunt for a Market Access Specialist who’s more than just fluent in NHS funding flows — we’re looking for someone who thrives at the intersection of health economics, strategic influence, and patient impact.

This is your opportunity to join a purpose-driven commercial organisation in the UK where your insights and strategies won’t just sit in a slide deck — they’ll drive real-world outcomes for patients and providers alike.

The Role: Market Access Specialist

Location - Anywhere in the UK (with some travelling involved)

In this pivotal role, you’ll support and shape value-based market access strategies that ensure patients, payers, and providers clearly understand the impact of our innovative medical solutions.

You'll work across cross-functional teams — collaborating with sales, marketing, and leadership — while directly influencing reimbursement pathways and economic value messaging.

Responsibilities

• Supporting the General Manager and Sales Leaders with both upstream (HTAs, payers) and downstream (customer-level) activities.
• Driving value-focused strategies that go beyond features — focusing on outcomes, economics, and access.
• Using payer data insights to fuel account-level engagement and sales strategy.
• Managing and optimising Drug Tariff listings to ensure appropriate market visibility and accessibility.
• Building connections and alignment with Integrated Care Boards (ICBs) to support funding pathways.
• Developing impactful tools such as economic models, reimbursement dossiers, and training materials.
• Keeping your finger on the pulse — monitoring healthcare policy shifts, competitor strategies, and new opportunities.
• Working with KOLs and payers to strengthen strategic partnerships.
• Collaborating with marketing to craft creative campaigns that highlight our value proposition in compelling ways.

Qualifications

• A degree in Science, Economics, Medicine, Engineering or similar.
• European market experience needed.
• Knowledge of pricing, reimbursement, and NHS funding systems.
• Experience engaging with ICBs, payers, or working with HES data.
• A sharp commercial mindset and business acumen grounded in real-world results.
• Strong interpersonal, communication, and project management skills.
• Previous work with medical devices in highly regulated or clinical environments.
• Any experience within urology, stoma or bowel areas.
• Background or education in health economics, HTA, or value-based healthcare (a big plus!).

Why You\'ll Love This Role

This is not your typical back-office market access role. You’ll be influencing strategy, shaping the narrative, and making a tangible impact on healthcare delivery. It’s the perfect role for someone who wants to blend analytical expertise with strategic execution and patient-centric thinking.

You’ll be empowered, supported, and encouraged to challenge the norm — because our client believes access isn’t just about market share; it’s about making a difference.
