An exciting opportunity has arisen for an ambitious and forward-thinking Head of Commercial Development to join a growing healthcare organisation at a pivotal stage of its journey. This is a high-profile Executive leadership role offering the chance to shape organisational strategy, drive commercial growth, and influence key business decisions at Board level.

You will lead commercial development initiatives while providing strategic financial oversight, helping the organisation identify opportunities, improve performance, and strengthen its position within the market.

This is an exceptional opportunity for an individual who enjoys building, transforming, and growing organisations rather than simply maintaining them.

  • Expand services into new markets and sectors.
  • Build and maintain strong relationships with commissioners, partners, and stakeholders.

  • Enhance commercial reporting, business intelligence, and data-driven decision-making.
  • Lead major procurement exercises, bids, and contract negotiations.
  • Provide strategic advice and insight to the Executive Board.
  • Lead and develop teams across finance, commercial, contracts, and business intelligence functions.

You will bring experience across a number of the following areas:

  • Commercial partnerships and stakeholder engagement
  • Service development and innovation

Financial Leadership

  • Financial planning and forecasting
  • Budgeting and performance management
  • Investment appraisal and business case development
  • Financial modelling and commercial analysis
  • Driving organisational sustainability

Sector Experience

Applications are welcomed from individuals with experience in:

  • Healthcare services
  • NHS or healthcare commissioning environments
  • Independent healthcare providers
  • Healthcare consultancy
  • Community-based services
  • Other highly regulated sectors with complex stakeholder landscapes

Experience working with commissioners, procurement processes, public sector contracts, or integrated service models would be highly advantageous.

Leadership Style

The successful candidate will be:

  • Commercially curious and entrepreneurial
  • Strategic yet operationally credible
  • Data-driven and analytically strong
  • Comfortable influencing senior stakeholders and Boards
  • Collaborative and relationship-focused
  • Politically astute and able to navigate complex environments
  • Adaptable, resilient, and comfortable operating in a fast-paced setting
  • Passionate about leading change, innovation, and transformation

Why Apply?

This is a rare opportunity to:

  • Join an Executive Leadership Team with significant influence.
  • Shape the future direction of a growing organisation.
  • Lead commercial strategy and organisational growth.
  • Influence major investment and business decisions.
  • Build new services and create innovative solutions.
  • Drive meaningful change that impacts communities and service users.
  • Work within an ambitious organisation with substantial growth plans.

What Success Will Look Like

In this role, you will:

  • Deliver measurable business growth.
  • Secure new contracts and commercial opportunities.
  • Strengthen financial performance and organisational sustainability.
  • Build high-performing teams and support functions.
  • Enhance commercial capability and business intelligence.
