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.

Key responsibilities will be to :

• 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.
