Head of Commercial Development

At Shropdoc, our mission is simple yet powerful: to keep patients at the heart of all we do.

Now, we’re entering an exciting new phase, one defined by innovation, partnerships, and sustainable growth. We’re looking for an exceptional Head of Commercial Development to help lead that journey.

This is not just another commercial role. This is your chance to:

• Shape the next chapter of a respected, NHS-partnered healthcare organisation

• Create and deliver new services that improve patient outcomes

• Drive meaningful growth while staying true to a strong social mission

• Operate with autonomy, influence, and executive-level visibility

You’ll work directly with the CEO and CFO to identify, develop, and deliver new commercial opportunities, from concept through to operational reality.

Growth & Innovation

• Identify and develop new revenue streams and service models

• Lead market entry and expansion initiatives

• Build compelling business cases and commercial propositions

Partnerships & Influence

• Develop and secure strategic partnerships

• Lead high-level negotiations and collaborations

• Represent Shropdoc externally with credibility and impact

Delivery & Results

• Build and manage a high-value commercial pipeline

• Take opportunities from concept to negotiation and implementation

• Deliver measurable growth outcomes and new services

You’re a commercial leader with an entrepreneurial mindset, who thrives in dynamic environments and knows how to turn opportunity into reality.

You will bring:

• Proven success in developing and delivering commercial growth

• Experience creating new services, ventures, or partnerships

• Strong negotiation and stakeholder influence skills

• Ability to assess commercial viability and financial impact

• A self-directed, resilient, and results-driven approach

Experience in healthcare or regulated environments is valuable but not essential. What matters most is your ability to identify opportunity and deliver results.

You’ll be part of an organisation that combines clinical credibility with innovation:

• A trusted NHS partner with a strong reputation

• A culture built on community, quality, kindness, integrity, and development

• Ongoing leadership development and career progression

• Flexible working and strong work-life balance

• NHS pension + generous leave + wellbeing support

Most importantly, you’ll help deliver services that genuinely improve lives.

Within your first 12–24 months, you will:

• Build a robust commercial pipeline

• Launch new revenue-generating services

• Secure strategic partnerships

• Strengthen Shropdoc’s market presence and sustainability

Based in Shropshire, you’ll enjoy:

• Beautiful countryside and vibrant market towns

• Excellent transport links to Birmingham, Manchester, and beyond

• A lifestyle that balances career ambition with quality of life

If you’re an ambitious commercial leader ready to combine purpose with performance, we’d love to hear from you.
