Job Description
At Accurx, we're on a mission to make patients healthier and healthcare staff happier.
Who are Accurx?
We’re a fast-growing health technology company which makes it easier for patients and healthcare teams to communicate.
Accurx is where conversations happen with and about patients. Our software helps doctors, nurses, pharmacists and administrators and other professionals to seamlessly connect with both patients and each other.
Our mission is simple: everything we do is to make patients healthier and healthcare staff happier. Today, Accurx is used in 98% of GP practices nationwide and every day more healthcare professionals are using our software in hospitals, pharmacies, care homes and the community.
We’re passionate about staying close to our users, which is why everyone at Accurx visits a GP practice at least twice a quarter to understand how a practice runs, the difficulties they face with technologies and how we can help.
Although we’ve initially tackled the UK healthcare system, we have big ambitions to improve healthcare systems across the world in the future. You can view more about the impact we’ve had so far here.
Life as a Bid Lead at Accurx...
We’ve spent the last 12 months taking our first premium product offering (Accurx Plus) to market, and you will be joining at a very exciting time! We created Accurx Plus for Primary Care (GP Practices) to use and we’ve been selling Plus at all levels of the healthcare system, from GP Practices to NHS-England. We’ve also begun engaging health systems about future products, as we work on more system wide communication challenges in healthcare.
With a high level of adoption within GP Practices and growing adoption in Secondary Care (hospitals, mental health services and child development centres) we are seeing an increasing number of tenders. These tenders are larger than we have seen previously and of higher importance.
We are looking for a Bid Lead to take our approach to tenders to the next level and give us a competitive advantage with them as we prepare for 10x growth into Secondary Care and beyond the UK.
