KAM - Maternity Cover 12m FTC

Key Account Manager – Oncology, South Coast (South West across to South East, coast to coast), 12-month maternity cover contract

Summary

My client is a fast-growing, high-performing pharmaceutical company with a collaborative culture and a strong team ethos. With less than 50 people in the UK, it’s a place where everyone knows each other, supports each other, and works together to achieve outstanding results.

The company has grown rapidly — from one sales team and one drug five years ago to three divisions, four drugs and five indications today. This is an exciting opportunity to join at a time of real momentum and contribute to the continued success of a highly respected oncology business.

Everything You Need to Know About the Role

• Covering a high-performing territory, including key accounts in the Royal Marsden, Kent, Sussex, Surrey, Plymouth, Devon and Exeter.
• Responsible for driving uptake and engagement for 2 NICE approved oncology products.
• One product has relatively recent NICE approval and the other is more established but with a new NICE reimbursement, so both products have lots of potential.
• Act as a true Key Account Manager — managing the business end-to-end with autonomy and accountability.
• This is a 12-month fixed-term contract to cover a maternity leave.
• Ideally starting in December.

Experience and Qualities That Make You a Strong Fit

• Oncology experience is ideal, but not essential — they’re looking for drive, attitude, and a growth mindset.
• Proven ability to manage key accounts strategically and work autonomously.
• Collaborative, solutions-focused, and thrives in a close-knit, high-performing team.
• Confident building strong clinical relationships.
• A stable career history with a passion to grow and make an impact in a fast-evolving organisation.
• Must be ABPI qualified and working in another specialist therapy area, if not oncology.

Unless otherwise stated, if applying for a job within the UK or European Union, you must ensure that you are already authorised to work there.
