🤔 About the Role:

Suvera is looking for a Partnerships Manager to support our Partnerships team. The postholder will have the opportunity to work with and learn from senior colleagues and to hone their skills developing new leads, selling and winning contracts in a fast paced environment.

As part of the role, you will manage your own portfolio of partners, ensuring they receive stellar relationship management and developing opportunities to maximise their partnership potential. This role is ideal if you have a clinical background and wish to utilise your skill set to forge partnerships that transform the way we deliver care. You will support the active management of our sales pipeline to grow new business income through applications, development of presentations and pitches and assist in the delivery of site visits and other meetings.

💻 What you'll be doing :

• Generate Leads
  • Responsible for segmenting potential clients and business opportunities through research and analysis of the NHS Primary Care market. This involves working closely with the Partnerships Lead and CCO to understand market needs.
• Client Engagement
  • Develop and maintain relationships with our segmented clients through regular phone calls/emails. You will need to have excellent communication skills to convey our products and services effectively as well as asking questions to collect information to move the right clients through to evaluation.
• Sales Progression
  • Work with the CCO and Partnerships Lead to manage the sales pipeline efficiently. This involves tracking leads, following up, closing deals, and achieving sales targets. You will also be expected to upsell and cross-sell our products and services. Eventually, the postholder will have the opportunity to manage the sales pipeline more autonomously.
• Manage Sales Funnel
  • Move clients through our sales funnel effectively. This includes scheduling appointments with our Partnerships Leads and in future taking on client calls and ensuring potential clients are progressing through the sales funnel, and proactively taking steps to prevent any leads from stalling.

• Support on preparing & co-ordinating various documentation (from contracts to applications)
  • Prepare partner contracts for CCO’s review and signature
  • Support with the submission of the company’s applications for relevant innovative grants or awards that could help pilot our innovation in new areas and access funding for research.

👋 About Suvera:

Suvera is a digital health start-up on a mission to keep people in good health wherever they are in the world. We partner with general practices in the UK to deliver a virtual clinic that proactively supports the management of patients with long-term conditions. Today, we manage over 100,000 patients and have a robust pipeline to more than 4x that by the end of 2024. We have merely scratched the surface for what we can do for both clinical operations and chronic care pathways.

We have a team of phenomenal advisors, including Professor Bryan Williams who is the chair of Medicine at UCL and the man behind high blood pressure guidelines for the UK. We are a small (c. 50 people) cross-functional team from all backgrounds, and have our our own internal Care Team which employs both clinicians and care advisors.

We are backed by Google for Startups and the preeminent, global healthcare and technology venture capital firm Morningside Ventures, led by Dr. Gerald Chan. We have ambitions to become the largest healthcare provider in the world.

🌎 About our culture:

For Suvera, company culture is not an afterthought - it is a priority. Our diverse team helps us ensure we consider everyone’s experience of accessing healthcare when building our product.

The wellbeing of our team is key, and our policies reflect it. We all have up to 40 days annual leave, and encourage and enable flexibility and autonomy over your work. We are non-hierarchical in our ideas, processes and decision-making — if you have an idea, we want to hear it. Always.

The way we work is remote-first. In practice, this means our whole company is set up around not requiring a meeting to make decisions. We have an asynchronous approach to work which encourages documentation and async comms.
