• Partner with hospital executives and perioperative teams to improve theatre utilisation and Net Patient Revenue outcomes.
• Contribute to succession planning for retiring VMOs and mitigate risk of service or revenue loss.
• Maintain accurate CRM records (Sugar CRM) and provide regular reporting on pipeline activity, revenue impact, and KPIs.
• Monitor competitor activity and emerging market trends to inform proactive growth strategies.
• Collaborate with GP Liaison Officers, hospital leadership teams, and marketing to drive coordinated growth initiatives.
