Regional Sales Manager

Location: South East England

The Regional Sales Manager is responsible for driving sales of Omnicell solutions which include hardware, software and services. 

You will be responsible for a defined territory of NHS Trusts and will work closely with the Senior Commercial Manager (to whom you report) to define and develop strategies for account and business development.

In this role you will need to understand clients’ business priorities, strategic objectives and to build detailed action plans for generating business. Understanding hospital supply chains and medicines management processes would be a plus and working closely with hospital C-suite – including heads of procurement and chief pharmacists - is a must. 

Being a capital sale, deal closing lead-times are long and you need to be a dedicated, driven person that is prepared to put in the groundwork and steer a deal from initial interest through to scoping and design, tender process, and closing. 

Grit and an entrepreneurial mindset are two of the most important personality traits we are looking for as well as a real desire to succeed. The pace is fast and the successful candidate will be quick to learn and comfortable working in multi-disciplinary environments to achieve results for clients. 

In return, we offer the opportunity to work with a company that is transforming the NHS. We work with over 150 NHS Trusts in projects that range from pharmacy and clinical supplies automation to complete transformation of medicine management workflows. We are vibrant, growing and have an unparalleled reputation in the market for excellence. You would be joining a team of hard-working achievers focused on delivering for the company and for clients and keen to help each other succeed. If this is appealing, then we would love to hear from you.
