We’re looking for an ambitious and commercially minded Strategy Execution & Development Lead to help shape the future of Simplyhealth and turn strategic ambition into tangible results.

This role is for someone who can see the bigger picture, look beyond today, and turn complexity into clarity.

  • Exceptional stakeholder management and relationship-building skills, with the credibility to influence senior leaders and bring diverse perspectives together.
  • Strong verbal communication skills and the ability to challenge, influence and communicate with impact.
  • A structured, curious and pragmatic approach to solving complex problems, particularly where there is ambiguity or no obvious answer.
