  • Develop and execute robust account plans for priority hospitals and health boards across Scotland and Northern Ireland based on detailed local knowledge and insights.
  • Act as a true partner to customers by deeply understanding their needs and challenges and providing innovative, creative, and compliant solutions to address these.
  • Identify, engage, and maintain relationships with key decision-makers and influencers, including consultants, specialist nurses, pharmacists, neurology MDTs, service managers, and pharmacy purchasing leads.
  • Lead cross-functional engagement within each account, coordinating with Market Access, Medical, and Marketing colleagues to deliver tailored solutions.

Promotion of STADA Specialty Portfolio

  • Understand and influence relevant treatment pathways, guidelines, and formularies to support appropriate adoption and sustained use of STADA therapies.
  • Exceed sales targets as agreed.

Market Access & Pathway Development

  • Work with regional and local NHS stakeholders (e.g. Medicines Management, Formularies, HTA and horizon scanning groups, clinical network leads) to secure and maintain access for STADA medicines.
  • Identify barriers to usage (clinical, logistical, financial, pathway-related) and propose practical, compliant solutions to overcome them.
  • Support service development initiatives that improve patient identification, initiation, and ongoing management on STADA therapies (e.g. pathway redesign, referral optimisation, shared-care protocols).

Business Planning & Performance

  • Analyse account and regional data (sales, usage patterns, local epidemiology, funding flows) to prioritise and focus activity based on the size of the opportunity.
  • Develop clear, measurable objectives and tactics for each key account, aligned with national and regional Specialty business plans.
  • Monitor progress against KPIs, reporting on performance, insights, and competitive intelligence, and adjusting plans accordingly.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

  • Collaborate closely with Medical Affairs on educational activities, advisory boards, and evidence generation needs where appropriate, including the MSLs and Britannia Nurse Team for the benefit of patients.
  • Contribute field insights to brand strategy, forecasting, and lifecycle planning for the Parkinson’s disease portfolio.

Compliance & Governance

  • Promote and conduct all activities in line with the ABPI Code of Practice, local governance frameworks, and STADA UK policies.
  • Maintain accurate, timely records of interactions and account plans in the CRM system.
  • Ensure all materials and initiatives are approved and used appropriately.
