Description

Company Description Statistics show that women and underrepresented groups tend to apply to jobs only if they meet 100% of the qualifications. Sobi encourages you to change that statistic and apply. Rarely do candidates meet 100% of the qualifications. We look forward to your application! At Sobi, the work we do every day redefines the standards of care and transform the lives of people living with rare diseases. As a diverse team of entrepreneurial people, we are passionate about our growth journey towards becoming a global leader, making a difference for rare disease patients, moving quickly and always challenging the status quo. We are committed to an inclusive, sustainable and flexible workplace that fosters growth and development. Job Description About the role As a Healthcare Partnership Manager, you will play a pivotal role in shaping and driving our relationships with key NHS customers, strategic organisations, and healthcare networks across the UK. You will develop payer engagement strategies informed by deep insight into the evolving NHS landscape and collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure patient access to our medicines. This is an opportunity to create meaningful partnerships that deliver win–win solutions — improving patient outcomes, supporting the NHS, and advancing Sobi’s mission to make rare disease therapies accessible to those who need them most. The position will require travel across the UK depending upon priorities and business needs, reporting to Patient Access and Community Engagement Director, UK and RoI Your impact will include: Build and maintain strong, collaborative relationships with key NHS stakeholders and strategic networks, with a particular focus on Integrated Care Systems (ICS). Develop and maintain a comprehensive stakeholder and influencer map aligned with Sobi’s portfolio objectives. Ensure optimal patient access to Sobi’s medicines by driving appropriate positioning and prescribing across patient pathways, formularies, and clinical guidelines. Support healthcare professionals and payers in service development and redesign projects that improve patient diagnosis and treatment outcomes. Partner with the Patient Access and Medical teams to develop payer materials, health outcome initiatives, and service improvement programmes. Gather and share insights with internal teams to inform brand and access strategies, influencing above-brand initiatives. Work cross-functionally to shape account plans and identify new opportunities for collaboration within a complex healthcare environment. Proactively respond to the changing NHS landscape by developing innovative partnership programs that reinforce Sobi’s role as a trusted healthcare partner. Lead and deliver joint or collaborative working projects with NHS organisations to enhance patient care and outcomes. Qualifications About you You are a strategic and relationship-driven professional who thrives in a complex healthcare environment. With a deep understanding of the NHS and a passion for improving patient outcomes, you excel at connecting insights, people, and opportunities. You are confident navigating policy, commissioning, and access landscapes, and you bring a collaborative spirit that drives meaningful change. You are motivated by purpose and results — equally comfortable engaging senior NHS leaders as you are working cross-functionally to deliver tangible outcomes for patients and the healthcare system. Key talents and experience In-depth knowledge of the NHS healthcare system, including structure, policy, and decision-making processes — particularly in rare diseases and high-cost drugs. Proven success delivering service redesign and development projects within or alongside the NHS.
