You'll also have the chance to work with a globally recognised brand that serves customers around the world and provides access to an extensive global healthcare network.

If you’re a strategic marketer who enjoys turning insight into action and delivering measurable results, we’d love to hear from you.

• Proven experience in a Marketing Manager role within a predominantly B2B environment.

• Strong experience delivering marketing activity across multiple channels, including digital marketing, events, sponsorships, public relations and offline marketing.
