Job description

Ambitious Pharma Business Manager wanted to drive real impact in Healthcare from Oxford.

Pharmaceutical innovation moves fast, but getting treatments into the hands of clinicians and patients still depends on people who understand the commercial side of healthcare. This business operates at the sharp end of that challenge, working within a regulated, science-led sector where decisions carry weight. It's a large, established organisation with a strong market position, and Oxford gives it a front-row seat to one of the UK's most important life sciences clusters.

Here's what you'll be doing:

• Manage a portfolio of pharma accounts, building relationships that go beyond the transactional
• Identify and convert new business opportunities across the Healthcare client base
• Work with clinical and commercial teams to shape proposals that actually fit customer needs
• Track performance against targets and adjust your approach when the numbers tell you to
• Represent the business at industry events and conferences across the sector
• Keep pace with regulatory changes that affect how pharma products get positioned and sold

Here are the skills you'll need:

• Several years' experience in pharma, medical devices, or a related Healthcare commercial role
• A track record of hitting or beating sales and account growth targets
• Comfortable reading a P&L and talking numbers with finance teams, not just sales ones
• Sharp communication skills. You'll be presenting to clinicians one day and procurement teams the next
• Working knowledge of UK pharma compliance and the ABPI code
• A degree in life sciences, business, or something equally relevant. Not mandatory, but it helps

Key perks and benefits:

• £47,000 to £63,000, depending on experience
• Hybrid working, with time split between the Oxford office and home
• Private medical and dental insurance for you and your family
• Enhanced pension scheme on top of performance-based bonuses
• A genuinely comprehensive benefits package that goes beyond the basics

Why pursue a career in Healthcare?

Healthcare doesn't slow down. Demand keeps climbing, treatments keep advancing, and the commercial roles behind that progress keep growing in scope and seniority. Oxford sits at the heart of UK life sciences, surrounded by research institutions and pharma businesses that make it one of the best places in the country to build this kind of career. Good people in this field tend to stay in it, because the work matters and the progression is real.
