Your Role

Key accountabilities include:

• Managing commercial deal governance across generics, parallel imports and branded medicines, ensuring agreed terms are accurately reflected in supporting systems and reports
• Producing and maintaining commercial agreement, rebate, cost of goods and supplier performance reporting, with clear controls and audit trails
• Supporting negotiations with pharmaceutical manufacturers and wholesalers through robust analysis of cost, volume, service and commercial opportunities
• Managing pharmacy price lists, approved product controls and commercial publications, ensuring information is accurate, current and clearly communicated

• Coordinating the commercial implementation of new agreements and changes, working cross-functionally to confirm readiness and verify delivery into pharmacies
• Building resilient, documented processes with clear ownership, backup cover and effective controls, while partnering with Operations, Compliance and Technology on regulated or system-led activity

This role requires strong judgement, attention to detail and the confidence to challenge suppliers and internal stakeholders in a fast-moving, regulated Healthcare environment.

You will ideally have:

• Experience in Commercial, Buying, Category Management, Supply Chain or Finance, ideally within Healthcare, Pharmacy, FMCG or another regulated environment
