Get to know James, Key Account Manager at Mediq UK

"The best part of my role is seeing how our strategy on paper has a real impact on hospitals and clinics.
When a tender we worked on leads to better solutions for patients, I know our work matters."

James Whitfield, Key Account Manager – Mediq UK  

 

When I joined Mediq as a Key Account Manager, I expected a varied role. What I found was the opportunity to influence how healthcare services are delivered across the UK. Every day is about understanding what our customers need and finding the right way to meet those needs. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Why this role matters?

As a Key Account Manager, you are responsible for creating and executing strategies that make a real difference for our customers. It means looking at the bigger picture of market trends, while also being involved in the details of tenders, contracts and product positioning.

In a typical week I might:

  • Prepare an account plan that helps a regional hospital trust access improved surgical sets
  • Work with suppliers on sustainable alternatives that reduce waste in operating theatres
  • Analyse market data to set competitive pricing and improve profitability
  • Join colleagues from Sales, Supply Chain and Regulatory Affairs to shape a proposal for a new service contract

Every decision requires balance: delivering strong results for Mediq while ensuring healthcare professionals get solutions that work for them and their patients.

How will your work make an impact here?

If you have experience in key account management, procurement or healthcare sales, this role gives you the chance to take ownership of a portfolio in the UK market. You will work closely with colleagues across functions, and you will see your strategies take shape in hospitals, clinics and community care.

Mediq is an organisation where initiative is encouraged, and ideas are valued. You will find space to grow commercially, while also building expertise in the product areas you manage.

Digging deeper

“At Mediq I can really dig in to the numbers and have a real impact on the development of the business. On top of that working in health care really suits my personality. Mediq stimulates me to keep on learning, I will start my level 1 Chartered Financial Analyst soon.

Lots of opportunity to grow

“Recently I worked on a big tender for enteral nutrition. Out of five competitors two were selected. We really wanted to win this contract and we did! A great win for everybody at Mediq. How I see my future? There are lots of opportunities for growth here. Finance Business Partner or Business Controller would come to mind. So yes, I see myself working at Mediq for the foreseeable future.”
