The Role
Every day, we rise to the challenge to make a difference and here's how the Business Manager role will make an impact:
•The Healthcare Partnership Team Business Manager role will have responsibility and accountability for the strategic and operational account management of the Viatris promoted Branded products. The Business Manager will need to ensure the delivery of agreed sales objectives and resulting product sales growth within a defined geographical territory and distinct timelines, whilst adhering to the ABPI Code of Conduct.
•The development of effective customer relationships with key stakeholders across all NHS environments (ICB, Tertiary, Secondary and Primary Care etc) will be a critical success factor. A thorough understanding of the evolution of the NHS structure and how that may impact on the Viatris portfolio is key.
•Building key relationships with relevant stakeholders in target accounts and previous demonstrable experience of this are vital to this role.
•Excellent analytical skills and the ability to identify and assess business opportunities from complex sets of data are important. The formulation of strategic, robust account plans based on data, local NHS knowledge and insights is also fundamental.

This can include the selection, in discussion with the RBM, of target accounts and customer groups enabling exclusive responsibility for target customers within a defined territory.
