Description

You’re not the person who will settle for just any role. Neither are we. Because we’re out to create Better Care for a Better World, and that takes a certain kind of person and teams who care about making a difference. Here, you’ll bring your professional expertise, talent, and drive to building and managing our portfolio of iconic, ground-breaking brands.
In this pivotal role as National Account Manager – Institutional Sales, you will lead the charge in driving growth and customer engagement across Canada’s institutional healthcare landscape. You will be responsible for building and executing strategic sales plans that deliver value to institutional customers—including long-term care facilities, hospitals, and group purchasing organizations (GPOs)—through our incontinence product portfolio. This role requires a high level of autonomy, strategic thinking, and a deep understanding of the Canadian institutional channel.

In this role, you will:

  • Channel Strategy & Opportunity Assessment: Identify and assess channel opportunities and customer needs. Partner with Marketing to co-develop tailored solutions that address the unique challenges of institutional customers.
  • Customer & Distributor Relationship Management: Build and nurture long-term, trust-based relationships with key institutional customers, distributors, and GPOs. Serve as the primary point of contact and advocate for customer needs within the organization.
  • Sales Execution & Growth Delivery: Drive sales results by developing and executing customer-specific business plans. Identify growth opportunities and craft selling strategies that deliver against volume, share, and profitability targets.
  • Financial Management: Manage trade investments and customer budgets to ensure profitable growth. Monitor performance against targets and adjust plans as needed to deliver results.
  • Cross-Functional Leadership: Collaborate with internal stakeholders including Marketing, Finance, Supply Chain, and Customer Development to ensure seamless execution of customer plans.
  • Market Intelligence & Insights: Stay attuned to market trends, competitive activity, and policy changes within the institutional healthcare space. Translate insights into actionable strategies.
  • Compliance & Reporting: Ensure all sales activities comply with internal policies and external regulatory requirements. Maintain accurate records and reporting for audit readiness.
