Key Account & Access Manager (UK)

Key Account & Access Manager (UK) – Cytokinetics

Cytokinetics is a late‑stage biopharmaceutical company pioneering muscle biology to transform the lives of people with serious cardiovascular and neuromuscular diseases. As they prepare for the European launch of their first cardiovascular therapy, we at subrosa are supporting Cytokinetics in building a specialist UK field team that will shape adoption across NHS pathways from day one.

Why this role matters

If you thrive in high‑impact environments, love building something new and want to be part of a launch that genuinely changes patient care, this role puts you at the centre of it. As a Key Account & Access Manager, you will be the face of Cytokinetics in your region—driving access, adoption and sustained growth across specialist centres, ICBs and provider organisations.

This is a role for someone who enjoys autonomy, takes ownership, and knows how to turn interest into operational reality. You’ll blend sales excellence with NHS access know‑how, working with decision‑makers to ensure patients can benefit from a potential next generation therapy.
