Shape strategy. Drive innovation. Influence the future of healthcare.

This is a career-defining opportunity to take ownership of growth and transformation within a business unit that's central to New Zealand's healthcare sector.
        As Business Unit Manager – Acute Care, Diagnostics & Medical Consumables, you'll be a key figure on the management team, steering strategy, profitability, and long-term expansion. Reporting directly to the Sales & Marketing Director, you'll lead a team of product specialists, oversee product portfolios, and deliver commercial results that will directly shape the company's future.
 
Why This Role Stands Out 

• Strategic influence – Own the P&L, shape growth strategies, and have visibility at board level.
• Market impact – Take charge of launches, campaigns, and initiatives that will shift the dial in NZ healthcare.
• People leadership – Inspire and coach a motivated team, building capability for long-term success.

Key Responsibilities 

• P&L & Strategy
• Develop annual business plans, budgets, and sales strategies.
• Oversee product pricing and tender processes.
• Report on sales performance and market opportunities at board level.
• Team Leadership
• Lead, mentor, and develop product specialists to exceed business goals.
• Set KPIs, conduct performance reviews, and build a culture of accountability and growth.
• Product & Market
• Manage product launches, training, and marketing plans.
• Stay ahead of healthcare market trends, ensuring the unit remains competitive and agile.
• Stakeholder Engagement
• Build and strengthen relationships with clinicians, suppliers, and decision-makers.
• Renew supplier agreements and uncover new commercial opportunities.

 About You 

• Tertiary qualification in Science, Marketing, or related discipline.
• 5+ years' experience in healthcare, ideally with Capital Sales exposure.
• Track record in sales leadership and strategic business planning.
• Background in a multinational environment is advantageous.
• Legal right to work in NZ (citizenship, residency, or valid work visa).

What's on Offer

• Ownership & visibility – a unique chance to influence business direction and be recognised at board level.
• Career growth – step into a pivotal role in a company with ambitious plans for the future.
• Impact – see your strategies come to life in one of NZ's most dynamic healthcare sectors.
