Pharmacy Development Manager

Regional - covering the North East (ideal base Newcastle)

£Competitive Salary, excellent sales bonus scheme plus Company Car    

Numark, Part of the PHOENIX Group, is the largest organisation of independent pharmacists within the UK, with over a third of all independent pharmacists as existing members. We believe that independent pharmacy has a strong future and our purpose is to help our members to develop that future by supporting their business and service to their customers.

We have an opportunity for a self-motivated, proactive sales person to join the Numark sales team as a Pharmacy Development Manager, to cover the North East of England.

In this sales based role you will work with members to help them drive their profitability through a broad range of commercials schemes; whilst also helping them deliver great patient care to their local communities, through a very comprehensive range of pharmacy services. We are seeking a results driven individual with strong commercial acumen and a passion for community pharmacy. The role provides an ideal opportunity to develop your career within the pharmacy sector through Numark and the wider Phoenix group.

Covering the important North East area, this varied role primarily involves supporting our member pharmacies and associated stakeholders to develop their pharmacy businesses by utilising the tools available, creating patient loyalty and enhancing the customer experience. Another aspect to the role is identifying, prospecting and attracting new members.

A key element to this success will be through understanding the pharmacy environment, our members’ priorities and the effective communication of our products and services.

It is essential you have previous experience in the pharmaceutical industry as this role involves communicating with all levels within the pharmacy environment, (pharmacists to counter assistants) as well as internal stakeholders. As such the Pharmacy Sales Development Manager must be a confident communicator, both verbally and written, and possess excellent organisational and planning skills. You will also have strong presentation skills, be able to influence effectively and have a good understanding of the pharmacy sector. The successful candidate must also be able to demonstrate an ability to adapt to the ever changing pharmacy environment.

You must be flexible in your approach as this role will require you to travel throughout the North East area and will require the occasional overnight stay for Regional and National meetings. A full driving licence is essential.

The successful candidate will ideally be based in or near Newcastle.
