Are you an accomplished sales professional with a flair for international business and a passion for healthcare? We’re looking for a dynamic Export Sales Manager to spearhead our business development efforts across the Middle East & Africa (MEA) region. Join a fast-growing, values-led UK pharmaceutical distributor and make a meaningful global impact.

As Export Sales Manager for MEA, you will be at the forefront of our international expansion, leading sales strategies and forging high-value partnerships with distributors, healthcare providers, and regulatory bodies across the region. You'll work cross-functionally with logistics, compliance, and procurement teams to ensure seamless export operations and the timely delivery of critical pharmaceutical products to emerging and established markets.
This is a pivotal role where you'll combine commercial acumen, cultural intelligence, and regulatory knowledge to unlock sustainable growth opportunities.
Key Responsibilities
* Develop and implement strategic sales plans tailored to the MEA region
* Identify, onboard, and manage key distribution partners, wholesalers, and government tenders
* Maintain strong client relationships through regular engagement, performance reviews, and value-driven solutions
* Navigate complex regulatory environments to ensure full compliance with UK MHRA, GDP standards, and country-specific requirements
* Collaborate with internal departments to optimise supply chain efficiency and customer satisfaction
* Monitor and analyse regional market trends, competitor activity, and business risks
* Represent the company at international trade fairs, conferences, and business development missions
* Prepare regular sales reports, forecasts, and pipeline updates for senior leadership
* Support pricing strategy, contract negotiation, and sales agreement execution

* 3–5+ years’ experience in international sales, preferably within pharmaceutical or healthcare exports
* A strong understanding of regulatory compliance (GDP, MHRA, FMD) and documentation requirements for exporting to MEA
* Demonstrated success in building and managing distributor networks and key accounts across diverse markets
* Excellent commercial and strategic thinking skills, with a strong grasp of tender processes and government procurement
* Outstanding interpersonal and communication abilities – capable of navigating multicultural business environments
* Proactive, organised, and able to work independently while collaborating across teams
* Fluent English is essential; proficiency in Arabic and/or French is highly desirable
* Willingness to travel internationally, often on short notice
What We Offer
* Competitive base salary + performance-based bonus
* Opportunity to shape the sales strategy for a high-growth international region
* Be part of a collaborative, mission-driven company focused on expanding access to life-saving medicines
* Professional development and global networking opportunities
* A supportive work environment where your voice and contributions matter
