Our client is a significant and well-regarded organisation in the Australian health sector. With a broad operational footprint and a strong commitment to clinical excellence, they are a trusted provider of healthcare services supporting doctors, specialists, hospitals, and patients across the country.

Who They Are

Your Profile

This is a leadership-first role. The primary mandate is to bring sales discipline, structure, and performance management capability to a team with genuine market potential.

Candidates may come from a range of backgrounds including:

•      Pharmaceuticals or medical devices

•      Healthcare services, hospital supply, or medical technology

•      Pathology, Radiology, diagnostics, or laboratory services

•      Other regulated or relationship-driven B2B sales environments

You will demonstrate:

•      Tertiary qualification in science, health, business, management, marketing, or a related discipline

•      8+ years’ experience in sales or territory management including B2B and B2C environments

•      8+ years’ experience successfully managing and leading sales teams to meet and exceed targets

•      A data-driven, KPI-focused approach to sales leadership with strong pipeline management and forecasting capability

•      Strong commercial acumen and strategic planning skills

•      CRM fluency and the demonstrated ability to implement or embed sales management systems

•      Excellent communication, stakeholder engagement, and relationship-building skills

•      South Australian market knowledge and/or an existing network is preferred but not essential

Industry certification in a structured sales methodology (e.g. Miller Heiman, SPIN, Challenger, or equivalent) is highly regarded.
