Company mission
To lead the global shift to digital pathway platforms, redefining how healthcare is delivered through intelligent pathways that optimise care, empower clinicians, and improve patient outcomes at scale
Role
Who you are
- Confident outbounder: You thrive in fast-paced environments and aren't afraid to pick up the phone or send a cold LinkedIn message to start a conversation
- Exceptional communication: You can write clear, concise, and friendly outreach that cuts through the noise of a busy clinician's inbox
- Research rigour: You have a natural curiosity. You enjoy digging into data, reports, and NHS initiatives to find the "hook" for a potential sale
- Technical savvy: You are comfortable with Google Sheets and interested in using AI tools to speed up your writing and research workflows
- Experience: Ideally 1+ years in a fast-paced, high-activity environment (e.g. recruitment, market research, or a high-volume outbound role)
- Mission-driven: You are excited about the impact Isla has on the NHS and patient care
- Collaborative Mindset: You take pride in being the "enablement" engine. You are motivated by seeing a deal you helped initiate cross the finish line
- We appreciate you might not meet all of the requirements for this position. If your experience looks somewhat different to the requirements in the job spec but you think you can bring value to this role, we’d love to hear from you
What the job involves
- 🕙 Role details: This is a full time role for 40 contracted hours per week
- We are looking for a high-energy, ambitious Partnerships Development Associate to join our commercial team
- This is a pivotal role designed to be the "front line" of our growth
- You will be responsible for the top of the sales funnel; researching the market, mapping out the NHS landscape, and initiating the conversations that turn into multi-million-pound partnerships
- This is a fast-paced role for someone who loves the thrill of the "outreach hunt" and the intellectual challenge of strategic research
- You will empower our senior Partnership Leads by providing them with the data, research, and booked meetings they need to close major deals
- If you are looking to learn the ropes of consultative health-tech sales in a VC-backed startup, this is a fantastic place to start
- Over the next 12 months you will:
- Drive outbound momentum: Own all outbound activity across email, phone, and LinkedIn. You’ll be the person booking the high-impact meetings that fuel our revenue
- Master regional research: Conduct deep-dive research into specific ICBs and Trusts. You’ll map out hierarchies, track clinical initiatives, and identify local "pain points" to ensure our outreach is always laser-targeted
- Be the ‘business case’ engine: Support senior leads by pulling together relevant data and using cutting-edge AI tools to generate initial drafts of business cases and proposals
- Own sales intelligence: Maintain accurate trackers and CRM records, ensuring our Partnership Leads know exactly who to approach, when, and with what narrative
- Collaborate on strategy: Share insights from the front line. For example; what messages are landing? Which regions are most responsive? You will help refine our overall sales approach

Salary benchmarks
Our take
Isla wants to empower healthcare professionals by allowing them to use visual data—photos and videos of patients—by securely recording this data to a medical professional's smartphone.
The ambitious startup has partnered with the Central London Community Healthcare Trust and the NHS, successfully supporting various NHS trusts on their digitisation journey. Isla will focus on leveraging visual data to improve end-of-life care and dermatology services. Additionally, the company has added an Impact page to its website, showcasing evidence of Isla's benefits.
Now that a case can be made for visual health data flows being helpful, the company's platform could see even wider adoption. Once sufficiently high-quality data sets have been collected, Isla can use the visual data, provided with patient consent, to inform medical practice more generally.
The next few years at Isla should be interesting as the company is looking to replicate the operation of its product across several hospitals and healthcare facilities. Isla's end game is to be fully integrated into all incumbent Patient Administration Systems to make the platform seamless for clinicians.
