Contract Launch Manager

5 days ago

Auckland, Auckland, New Zealand Tribe Recruitment Full time

About The Company
Are you a commercially minded relationship builder with a knack for influencing clinicians and driving change?

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.

This role offers the best of both worlds, the commercial pace of the private sector with the purpose and scale of public healthcare.

You'll be part of a national transformation programme shaping how health products and technology are delivered across New Zealand – Improving access, efficiency, and outcomes for millions of people.

About The Role
As a Contract Launch Manager, you'll be responsible for preparing, launching, and embedding new clinical product contracts across multiple healthcare regions.

You'll work closely with suppliers, clinicians, procurement specialists, and supply chain leaders to ensure new products are adopted smoothly, deliver cost efficiencies, and improve patient outcomes.

It's a role that blends sales influence, project delivery, and stakeholder management and is perfect for someone who thrives on building relationships, navigating complexity and getting genuine results.

Your 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.
  • Identify opportunities for product optimisation and cost savings.
  • Conduct post-launch reviews and continuously look for improvement opportunities.

About You:
We're looking for a confident communicator and influencer with strong commercial acumen and genuine curiosity about how products impact patient care.

  • 3–5 years' experience in medical devices, pharmaceuticals, or healthcare sales/account management.
  • Proven ability to engage and influence clinicians, procurement, and leadership stakeholders.
  • Strong project coordination and relationship management skills.
  • Comfort working within a large, structured or government environment.
  • A proactive, consultative approach — able to navigate change with empathy and credibility.
  • A tertiary qualification in business, science, or a related field is preferred. Experience in healthcare or clinical environments will be highly regarded.
