Senior National Account Manager

Where do you want to go?

Are you an experienced National Account leader looking to take ownership of one of Australia's most strategically important pharmacy partnerships?

At Bayer Consumer Health, we're seeking a commercially astute Senior National Account Manager to lead the strategy, growth and performance of Sigma, Chemist Warehouse, Amcal and DDS in Australia.

In this role, you'll have end-to-end accountability for sales performance, strategic planning, joint business plans, customer investment, market share growth and commercial execution. You'll work closely with senior customer stakeholders and partner cross-functionally with Marketing, Category, Finance, Supply Chain and Sales teams to identify opportunities, unlock growth and deliver impactful customer outcomes.

This is far more than a traditional account management role. You'll act as a trusted strategic advisor to key customers, lead complex commercial negotiations, influence category and activation strategies, and play a pivotal role in shaping Bayer's future growth within the Pharmacy channel. You'll have the opportunity to bring innovative thinking, leverage consumer and shopper insights, and make decisions that directly impact the performance of some of Australia's leading healthcare brands.

How we calculate "similar"

No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.

Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.

Unmatched or unknown dimensions score exactly the same: 0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
