Area Account Manager
Role Overview
As Transfusion Area Account Manager, you will be responsible for growing sales across an established and successful territory.
The role is approximately 60% business development and 40% account management, making it particularly suited to someone who enjoys identifying opportunities, developing new relationships and winning business from competitors.
You will manage relationships across blood banks, transfusion laboratories and relevant NHS stakeholders, identifying customer needs and developing solutions across the Transfusion portfolio.
Some opportunities will involve complex, 12-18 month+ sales cycles, while other products will offer shorter routes to revenue.
The successful candidate will have the autonomy to manage their territory while benefiting from strong internal technical and commercial support.
