- Strong communicator who can build relationships across Sales, Finance and Supply Chain
- Sharp attention to detail with a continuous improvement mindset
Why join us?
You'll be joining a team where your work has real meaning, supporting patient access and helping ensure the right products are in the right place. We offer flexibility on location (UK-wide) and a collaborative, cross-functional environment where your voice matters.
