Emerging Markets Lead

What is the job?

As the Emerging Markets Lead for our international expansion, you'll be responsible for shaping how Montu brings new products, services and commercial initiatives to market- driving growth, unlocking new opportunities and ensuring every launch delivers real impact for patients, clinicians and our partners.

This is far more than a traditional strategy role. You'll own the entire go-to-market journey, from identifying opportunities and developing commercial strategies through to rolling up your sleeves and making them happen. One day you could be presenting a market expansion strategy to the Executive Leadership Team; the next you'll be on the road meeting clinicians, commercial partners and key stakeholders, gathering insights, solving problems and ensuring launches land successfully.

You'll shape the market entry and then become the connective tissue between our Commercial, Clinical, Marketing, Operations, Product and Customer teams, aligning everyone behind a shared vision and ensuring we execute at pace. You'll constantly be looking ahead - spotting market trends, identifying growth opportunities, strengthening partnerships and finding smarter ways to reach more patients in an evolving healthcare landscape.

We're looking for someone who combines exceptional commercial instinct with structured, data-driven thinking. You'll likely have developed your toolkit in consulting, strategy or commercial transformation, ideally within healthcare, healthtech or another regulated industry, but what really matters is your ability to turn complex challenges into practical action and inspire others to come with you.

This is a highly visible role with significant exposure to senior leadership and genuine influence over the future direction of the business. You'll spend time travelling internationally, building relationships, supporting launches and staying close to the realities of the market - because the best strategies are built by people who see what's happening first-hand.

If you're excited by building from the ground up, thrive in fast-paced, high-growth environments and want to leave your mark on a business that's transforming healthcare, this is an opportunity to do exactly that. Every decision you make, every partnership you build and every launch you deliver will help shape the future of Montu and improve access to life-changing care for thousands of patients.

What will you be doing?

• Own the end-to-end go-to-market strategy for new products, propositions and partnerships, from initial thesis through to launch and scale
• Build the business cases, market sizing and prioritisation frameworks that determine where we play and how we win
• Translate strategy into structured, actionable rollout plans with clear milestones, owners and KPIs
• Travel internationally to build relationships with partners, pharmacies, clinicians and other key stakeholders on the ground
• Work cross-functionally with Sales, Marketing, Product and Clinical teams to align on GTM priorities and remove blockers to execution
• Represent Montu at industry events, partner meetings and in-market visits, acting as a credible face of the business
• Track performance against launch plans, course-correcting quickly where results diverge from expectations
• Bring an outside-in view of the market - competitor moves, regulatory shifts and emerging opportunities - back into the business
• Present findings, plans and recommendations clearly and persuasively to senior leadership.

What do you need?

• A background in strategy or management consulting, with a track record of structured problem-solving delivered at pace
• Experience in healthcare, healthtech or a related regulated industry is strongly preferred
• A genuine willingness and ability to travel extensively - this role is not desk-bound and being out with partners and in-market is central to the job
• Strong analytical and commercial instincts, with the ability to build a clear business case from a loose brief
• Excellent stakeholder management skills, comfortable influencing senior internal and external audiences
• A bias to action - equally happy building the strategy deck and then rolling up your sleeves to execute it
• Highly self-motivated and comfortable operating autonomously in a fast-moving, scale-up environment where priorities can shift quickly
• An interest in cannabis-based medicines and a genuine belief in improving patient access to modern healthcare treatments would be a bonus
• Bonus points if you have also led market entry strategy to Poland.

What we offer:

• Generous Leave: 25 days holiday (rising to 27 after year one and 30 after year three) + usual bank holidays
• Pension Matching: Up to 5% employer matching contributions
• Flexibility and Wellness: Work-from-home options, cycle-to-work scheme, private healthcare and more
• Growth Opportunities: Collaborate across teams and represent Montu at events, with support to grow your skills and impact
• Enhanced Maternity & Paternity Leave
