Medistra Group is seeking a senior Business Development Director & Product Owner with direct experience in aesthetic medicine, medical devices, dermal fillers, skin boosters, injectable products, pharmaceutical distribution or clinic-facing medical sales.

* Ability to speak credibly with doctors, aesthetic practitioners, clinic owners, distributors, trainers and medical sales teams.
* Strong commercial negotiation skills and clear understanding of pricing, margins and distributor economics.
* Ability to operate in a founder‑led growth company where structure is being built, not simply inherited.
* Existing distributor, clinic, KOL or practitioner network would be highly advantageous.
Recommended Compensation Structure

Salary Benchmarking Note
The suggested range reflects current UK market benchmarks for Business Development Director, healthcare business development and medical/product‑owner roles, adjusted upward for the hybrid nature of this appointment and the need for industry‑specific commercial access. The role should be presented as a senior commercial leadership appointment with performance‑linked upside, not as a basic sales vacancy.
