Contract Launch Manager

About The Company

Are you a commercially minded relationship builder with a knack for influencing clinicians and driving change? This is a rare opportunity to step inside New Zealand’s national health system and lead the successful rollout of new medical product contracts across hospitals and healthcare providers. Working within a large, complex environment that manages billions in healthcare spend, you’ll play a key role in bridging the gap between commercial outcomes and clinical impact. This role offers the best of both worlds, the commercial pace of the private sector with the purpose and scale of public healthcare. You’ll be part of a national transformation programme shaping how health products and technology are delivered across New Zealand – Improving access, efficiency, and outcomes for millions of people.

It’s a role that blends sales influence, project delivery, and stakeholder management and is perfect for someone who thrives on building relationships, navigating complexity and getting genuine results.

• Plan and implement national contract and product rollouts across hospitals and health services.
• Influence clinical and operational stakeholders to adopt new solutions.
• Build strong partnerships with suppliers, clinicians, and internal teams to ensure seamless transitions.
