Key Account Manager, United Kingdom
Date: Jan 16, 2026
Location: GB
Company: novocure
Novocure is a global oncology company pioneering Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields), a non-invasive therapy designed to disrupt cancer cell division. Our commercial product, Optune Gio, is approved for glioblastoma (GBM) in the UK, Europe, the USA, and other regions, with additional indications under investigation.
We are seeking a Key Account Manager with Marketing responsibilities to support the growth of TTFields therapy across the UK, spanning both NHS and private healthcare settings. This role combines strong key account management (≈70%) with hands-on marketing and content execution (≈30%), making it ideal for a proactive, commercially minded professional who thrives in the field and enjoys shaping how innovation is brought to market.
You will work closely with cross-functional colleagues in Sales, Medical Affairs, Market Access, Patient Experience, and external agencies to drive awareness, access, and adoption of Optune. This is a highly visible role with future growth potential, as Novocure continues to expand its UK footprint and build a broader field organisation.
In this role, you will:
- Own and develop key NHS and private accounts, building trusted partnerships with clinicians, hospital stakeholders, and decision-makers
- Identify and convert high-potential centres into TTFields Centres of Excellence
- Drive contracting and implementation with hospitals to support patient access
- Develop and localise compliant marketing materials and content in collaboration with agencies and internal teams (e.g. Veeva)
- Execute field-based initiatives, educational programs, and congress activities
- Work closely with Patient Experience teams to support patients and caregivers throughout therapy
- Contribute to account and brand strategy in a fast-growing, entrepreneurial environment
What we’re looking for:
- 5+ years’ experience in pharma, biotech, or medical devices, with a strong background as a Key Account Manager in the UK
- Solid understanding of the UK healthcare system, including NHS pathways and private market dynamics
- Demonstrated marketing exposure (content development, agency collaboration, campaign execution)
- Proven “go-getter” mindset: accountable, proactive, and comfortable operating autonomously
- Oncology or neurology experience is a strong advantage; other specialty areas (e.g. hematology, cardiology) also valued
- Willingness to travel extensively across the UK
Why join Novocure?
At Novocure, we are patient-forward – driven by innovation, courage, and empathy. This role offers more than account management: it is an opportunity to shape the future of CNS oncology in the UK, build something meaningful, and grow into broader commercial leadership as the organisation expands.
