Senior Market Access Manager - Wound Care

Drive change. Shape policy. Improve outcomes across wound-care services. We are working with a market-leading wound care organisation to appoint a Senior Market Access professional to lead strategic engagement and drive meaningful change across health systems in Scotland, Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. This is not a traditional sales role. It is an opportunity for someone who understands the clinical, policy and population-health challenges within wound care and can bring multiple stakeholders together to redesign services, improve patient pathways and demonstrate value at a system level. You will build and navigate complex, multi-layered stakeholder networks – from Clinical Directors, Medical Directors, Medicines Management and Health Board leads through to Tissue Viability Nurse (TVN) Leads and frontline clinical teams. The role You will:

• Develop strong, senior-level relationships across Health Boards and wider healthcare systems.
• Identify opportunities to influence policy, population health and wound-care service provision.
• Lead conversations around value, outcomes and health economics, rather than simply product or sales targets.
• Support clinical stakeholders through change and service transformation, using your understanding of wound-care and clinical pathways.
• Drive service redesign where there is an opportunity to improve patient outcomes, efficiency and use of healthcare resources.
• Develop and manage complex stakeholder maps across clinical, operational, medicines management and strategic decision-makers.
• Engage with senior clinical and healthcare leaders, translating clinical challenges into compelling system-level solutions.
• Work collaboratively with internal clinical, market access, commercial and medical teams.
• Represent the organisation at a strategic level, including policy and Government-level lobbying and engagement where appropriate.
• Identify emerging policy and healthcare priorities and translate these into opportunities to influence the future of wound-care services. About you You will bring a strong combination of wound-care knowledge, clinical credibility and strategic market access experience. We are particularly interested in people who have:
• Established relationships with Health Boards and senior healthcare stakeholders.
• A strong understanding of wound care, tissue viability and clinical pathways.
• Experience influencing stakeholders through change, transformation or service redesign.
• The ability to engage credibly with everyone from TVN Leads through to Medical Directors and senior system leaders.
• Experience working within population health, policy, market access, healthcare transformation or strategic clinical engagement.
• The ability to understand different stakeholder priorities and build a compelling case for change.
• Strong communication, influencing and relationship-building skills.
• A genuine interest in improving patient outcomes and healthcare delivery, rather than being driven solely by sales performance. Experience across Scotland, Northern Ireland and/or the Republic of Ireland is essential. Why this role? This is an opportunity to move beyond the traditional commercial model and have a genuine influence on how wound care services are designed and delivered. You will be working at the intersection of clinical practice, policy, population health and healthcare transformation, influencing decisions that can have a much wider impact than an individual product or account. If you are a strategic wound-care professional who enjoys bringing people together, challenging existing pathways and creating the case for better ways of working, this could be an excellent opportunity to make a much broader impact.
