Job Description:
At Ferring Pharmaceuticals, we help people around the world build families and live better lives. We are entrepreneurial and innovative, with a global team focused on scientific advances in the areas of reproductive and women’s health, gastroenterology and urology. Ferring + You is all about working together and sharing ideas, so that we can bring science to life for patients around the world.
Our Commercial teams collaborate as trusted partners with patient groups, clinicians, policy makers and the scientific community to identify and develop new opportunities to help patients. Customer centric, we offer an empowering, entrepreneurial culture – and a place to thrive and grow.
As part of this ambition, we continue to strengthen our presence in Uro-Oncology, building on an established portfolio and preparing for an exciting private market launch planned for 2027. To support this, we are shaping a lean, high-impact field team focused on enabling commercial access to an innovative intravesical gene therapy — the first of its kind to be licensed in the UK. This role offers the opportunity to play a key part in introducing a first-in-class treatment within a focused, specialist market.
Ferring+You
This is a national field-based role focused entirely on the private oncology and urology market. As National Key Account Manager (KAM) will be responsible for establishing and managing relationships with the specialist urologists, oncologists and multidisciplinary teams across a defined network of private cancer centres — principally in London and the South East, with national coverage across a further five to six regional centres.
Your primary objective is to secure and accelerate patient access to a novel intravesical gene therapy launching in 2027 — working through private medical insurers, specialist private hospital networks and self-funding patient pathways. This is not a volume-driven detailing role. It is a high-value, high-complexity key account management position requiring strategic relationship management, commercial acumen and deep understanding of how private oncology operates in the UK.
You will work closely with the Commercial Lead - Uro-Oncology on access strategy and insurer engagement, and with the Field Medical Advisor - Uro-Oncology on clinical education and KOL development.

19. Significant experience in a KAM or specialist sales role within oncology, haematology or a high-value specialty therapy area
20. Proven track record of navigating private market access — PMI reimbursement, private hospital networks or high-cost therapy commissioning pathways
21. Experience working with high-cost, low-volume specialty products where access complexity is the primary commercial challenge
22. Strong commercial and financial acumen — able to articulate budget impact arguments and value propositions to clinical and non-clinical stakeholders
23. Self-starter with the ability to operate independently in a lean team without traditional sales infrastructure
24. Excellent relationship management skills — credible and confident with senior clinicians, medical directors and insurer personnel
25. Full UK driving license
A plus if you also have:
