Who We Are Isla Health is a venture-backed healthtech startup, supporting our partners across the UK, EU and internationally beyond this. We have built a new category of healthcare technology which we refer to as the Digital Pathway Platform (DPP). Founded in 2019, we now support 25% of NHS Trusts and a submission of patient data is made on the platform every 20 seconds. As a company we are all laser focused on enabling a scalable model of care which empowers healthcare staff and improves patient outcomes. The DPP supports this by setting up digital pathways which are remote-first and asynchronous. As pathways harness sophisticated automation, clinical algorithms and intelligent cohorting, patients always take the optimised route through their pathway, thereby delivering a step change in clinical productivity.

Drive strategic growth & shape commercial strategy: Feed structured market insights back into the business to steer key decisions and the product roadmap. Collaborate cross-functionally: Work with our Product and Delivery teams to ensure the commercial promises we make align with clinical reality. Requirements NHS "Insider" credibility: You have either sold heavily into the NHS at scale (enterprise deals) or you have worked within the NHS in a senior capacity. You "speak the language" and understand how decisions actually get made. Quantitative & data rigour: You are highly comfortable in Google Sheets/Excel. You can build your own financial models and business cases to prove ROI to NHS Finance Directors.
