Hospital Key Account Manager - #2777744

Description

The Hospital Key Account Manager (KAM) will play a pivotal role in driving uptake and ensuring optimal patient access to an innovative supportive care therapy within oncology and haematology treatment settings. Operating across a designated territory, the KAM will develop strategic partnerships with key stakeholders to support improved patient outcomes, enhanced treatment experience, and the effective integration of supportive care interventions throughout the cancer treatment pathway.

This role requires a deep understanding of the secondary care environment, including oncology and haematology service structures, multidisciplinary team decision-making, formulary processes, and local treatment pathways. The KAM will engage with oncologists, haematologists, specialist nurses, pharmacists, dietitians, procurement teams, and other hospital stakeholders to identify opportunities to improve patient care and drive appropriate therapy adoption.

The successful candidate will be responsible for developing and implementing comprehensive account plans, identifying barriers to access, and delivering value-based discussions that align clinical need with organisational priorities. Working within a hybrid model, the KAM will combine face-to-face customer engagement with digital and virtual interactions to maximise impact, customer reach, and operational effectiveness.

• Manage a defined territory of key oncology and haematology accounts, developing strategic account plans that align with local priorities and business objectives.

• Build and maintain strong relationships with multidisciplinary stakeholders including oncologists, haematologists, specialist nurses, pharmacy teams, procurement personnel, and service managers. This stakeholder mix should also include radiotherapy teams and head and neck cancer multidisciplinary teams.
• Identify opportunities to enhance patient care within oncology and haematology pathways through effective deployment of supportive care solutions.
• Execute tailored account strategies designed to improve patient access, increase utilisation, and support long-term account development.
• Present relevant clinical, health-economic, and outcomes-based evidence to support informed decision-making among key stakeholders.
• Navigate hospital formulary and procurement processes to facilitate appropriate access and adoption across target institutions.
• Support access at account level by helping to embed the therapy within local hospital protocols and by working with distribution partners to establish clear and effective ordering routes.
• Deliver high-quality, compliant, and customer-focused engagements through a combination of face-to-face, virtual, and digital channels.
• Develop a detailed territory business plan, managing resources effectively to achieve agreed sales and account objectives.
• Develop account-specific growth plans, including patient flow analysis, stakeholder mapping, account prioritisation, and identification of opportunities to expand patient access and product adoption.
• Deliver measurable commercial outcomes, including account activation, sales growth, and repeat ordering, alongside high-quality customer engagement.
