About this opportunity

Virtual Key Account Manager – Women’s Health

Home-based

IQVIA is currently looking to recruit an experienced Virtual Key Account Manager for our client to support GP education and awareness of a new testing pathway in women's health.

Your primary responsibility will be to educate GP practices on appropriate testing pathways and drive the adoption of a new testing solution within women's health.

There will be a strong emphasis on consultative selling, stakeholder engagement, and virtual communication skills. Women's health experience would be advantageous but is not essential, with strong communication, influencing, and relationship-building skills being the priority.

The successful candidate will work collaboratively with both internal and external stakeholders to maximise engagement and adoption across primary care.

You will need:

Experience working virtually within primary care.

A proven track record as a Sales Representative or Key Account Manager within the pharmaceutical industry.

Strong virtual engagement skills.

Commercial selling experience would be advantageous.

A degree in Life Sciences or equivalent.

ABPI qualification.

The ability to build and maintain positive relationships with all business partners.

The ability to work independently while also contributing effectively as part of a team.

A results-focused approach, with success measured by testing throughput and uptake across GP practices.

Our benefits include:

Competitive salary and bonus scheme.

Remote working.

Access to learning and career development tools.

Private healthcare (BUPA).

Flexible benefits including a competitive pension scheme, Life Assurance, Group Income Protection, Personal Accident Insurance, and more.

Online wellbeing support available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

Additional benefits at corporate rates, including gym memberships and access to hundreds of retail and restaurant discounts.

At IQVIA, we value diversity and inclusivity. If you are enthusiastic about this opportunity but do not meet every requirement, we encourage you to apply. You may be the ideal candidate for this role or another opportunity within our organisation.

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.
