Our New Client Acquisition team builds strategic partnerships across the private, public, and charity sectors. Within the NHS, our work is expanding rapidly—supporting organisations to develop critical data, digital, and AI capabilities that enable workforce transformation and improved outcomes.
We’re looking for a Client Director (NHS) to lead the acquisition and growth of new enterprise-level NHS partnerships. This is a senior, commercially accountable individual contributor role, focused on securing high-value, multi-year opportunities across NHS Trusts and Integrated Care Systems (ICSs).
You will operate at the forefront of complex, multi-stakeholder environments—aligning Corndel’s capability-building solutions with NHS workforce priorities, transformation agendas, and service improvement goals.
Alongside delivering commercial success, you will play a key role in shaping our approach to the NHS market—bringing insight, influencing strategy, and supporting the wider team to succeed.
Lead strategically important NHS opportunities—from initial engagement through to close and handover
Build and manage a high-quality pipeline targeting leading NHS Trusts and ICSs
Engage and influence senior stakeholders across Workforce, Digital, Data, Transformation, and executive leadership
Shape compelling, insight-led solutions aligned to service improvement, patient outcomes, and digital maturity goals
Collaborate cross-functionally with Product, Curriculum, Marketing, and Operations to deliver high-impact proposals
Apply structured, consultative sales approaches to drive value-led conversations and successful outcomes
Act as a senior commercial lead during complex negotiations and competitive processes
Ensure seamless transition into Account Management, setting partnerships up for long-term success
Contribute to team excellence by sharing best practice and strengthening capability across the function
You are a strategic, commercially disciplined seller who thrives in complex environments and brings confidence to senior-level conversations.
You’ll stand out if you:
Think like an owner—shaping strategy as well as executing deals
Bring credibility and presence when engaging Directors, Heads of Function, and C-suite stakeholders
Balance curiosity and structure—using insight to build compelling, value-driven narratives
Demonstrate strong commercial judgement, balancing risk, delivery, and long-term impact
Operate with high levels of organisation, discipline, and attention to detail
Lead by example, contributing positively to team performance and culture
Proven track record of winning new business within complex NHS environments
Experience leading large, multi-stakeholder opportunities end-to-end
Strong stakeholder management across Trusts, ICSs, and system-level organisations
Consultative sales expertise, with the ability to link solutions to NHS priorities and outcomes
Excellent communication skills, including executive-level storytelling and proposal development
Strong pipeline management, forecasting, and CRM discipline
Experience supporting and influencing peers without direct management responsibility
Experience in apprenticeships, workforce development, or capability-building solutions
Knowledge of NHS digital, data, and transformation frameworks
Familiarity with enterprise sales and insight tools (CRM, LinkedIn, AI research tools)
Exposure to go-to-market strategy and campaign development
A genuinely inclusive, supportive culture where people can thrive
Flexibility and autonomy in how you work
The opportunity to work at the forefront of Data, Digital, and AI capability-building
A high-performance environment with strong career progression opportunities
