It’s not easy. Nothing worth doing ever is. But we take care of everyone who works here with everything from therapy to personal budgets and highly competitive salaries.

You’ll be joining a company that’s having a huge impact on people’s lives with a culture where you can be yourself, have fun, and progress!

The Role
We’re looking for a Head of Strategic Partnerships to lead Beam’s entry into the healthcare sector with our innovative AI products. Reporting to our Co-Founder and COO, you’ll be at the forefront of transforming how care is delivered across the UK.

Our first healthcare-focused product, Magic Notes, is an AI-powered tool that will drastically cut down admin time for medical practitioners and clinicians. You’ll play a key role in driving traction for Magic Notes across the care and healthcare space, expanding Beam’s impact in a new and significant way. The excitement around Magic Notes reflects its potential to be a pivotal step in integrating AI into healthcare services.

Your role will be instrumental in securing a rapid adoption of Magic Notes across NHS Trusts, GP surgeries, private care providers and other healthcare institutions.

This is a hands-on role - you’ll spend most of your time researching and building a strong pipeline while skilfully moving prospects down it. We’re looking for someone to test sales strategies at speed and contribute to a wider sales playbook. This is a rare opportunity to be on the ground floor of the UK’s leading ‘Tech for Good’ start-up as we build out an AI software division that can touch millions of lives in the years to come.

• Reporting and focusing your energies with smart use of data: Maintaining records of sales activities and deal progress in our CRM, Hubspot, enabling accurate forecasts and data-driven insights.

• Bringing new ideas to the product and company: Contributing to areas beyond your primary metrics, including product development and strategy.

You’ll have

• Demonstrable track record in care or healthcare sales: You’ll have thrived working towards ambitious goals, perhaps in a fast-paced small company or startup

• A strategic and systemic approach: A strong understanding of how to build, track, and manage an effective data-driven sales strategy and pipeline within the healthcare market.

• Incredible discovery techniques: Strong listening and questioning skills to uncover critical information, identify decision-makers, and understand client problems where Beam can help.

• A creative, growth mindset: When there’s a bottleneck, bringing solutions and novel ideas for experimentation that optimise the sales process.

• Confident negotiation skills: Demonstrating persuasive skills to efficiently and effectively close deals within the healthcare sector.

• Passion for procurement: you have an understanding and interest in the technical elements of how government and care providers procure and purchase software

• An adaptive and resilient mindset: You thrive in a dynamic environment and are optimistic about overcoming obstacles while maintaining motivation.

Success looks like

• Closing deals in a new market, more than anyone, you’ll be responsible for driving Beam’s success in the new vertical of healthcare

• Strong pipeline, meaningfully contributing to Beam’s AI revenue targets for 2025 and beyond

• Creating a honed, repeatable, streamlined sales process, specific to healthcare and care providers
