This opportunity offers significant scope for leadership, innovation and commercial ownership within a forward-thinking organisation known for operational excellence and partnership-led growth.
About the Role
As the Business Unit Manager, you will take full responsibility for a large, multi-faceted client programme. You will build strong, influential relationships at senior level, drive commercial performance, and lead high-performing teams to deliver consistently strong operational outcomes.

* Lead commercial performance, including budgeting, forecasting and profitable growth
* Manage, develop and inspire teams across multiple functions
* Oversee the delivery of high-quality, consistent operational performance
* Identify new business opportunities and support the development of future‑focused strategies
* Use data and insight to drive decision‑making, performance improvement and innovation
* Champion continuous improvement, transformation and more efficient ways of working

* Private healthcare

Why This Role Stands Out
This is a high-impact leadership position within an organisation that values strategic thinking, innovation and commercial excellence. You will have the autonomy to shape a major business unit, influence senior stakeholders and deliver initiatives that make a measurable difference to both the organisation and its clients.
If you are an ambitious leader with strong commercial capability and a passion for delivering exceptional results, this role provides an excellent platform for progression and impact.
