With a track record of year-on-year growth of 38% and a 100% client retention rate, the organisation is now looking to strengthen its sales function, moving beyond tendering and word-of-mouth to a structured, high-performing sales operation.

* Develop and execute strategies to grow and diversify the client base, with a particular focus on the NHS and healthcare sector.
* Navigate complex sales processes involving procurement, CIOs, and Patient Experience teams.
* Sell emotional, life-saving services while demonstrating a strong understanding of the supporting technology, bridging the gap between human service and tech-enabled solutions.
* Drive monetisation across job-based, contract-based, and recurring revenue streams (ARR).
* Be hands-on from day one, managing a small team directly in the field, with responsibility for building a larger sales function over time.
The Person
The ideal candidate will:
* Have demonstrable experience in healthcare/NHS sales.
* Understand complex, consultative sales cycles and how to influence multiple decision-makers.
* Be commercially minded, with experience in pricing, monetisation, and ARR growth.
* Be a hands-on leader, capable of managing and motivating a small team initially, with experience in scaling a sales function over time.
