As a member of Baxter’s sales team, you’ll be aligned to one of our global business units and be responsible for new business, developing existing accounts and ensuring patient-centric approach in all your dealings. You’ll work within an assigned geographic area or with specific accounts to achieve or exceed personal and business goals, all in pursuit of our mission to save and sustain lives. In the sales role, you’ll have the opportunity to provide input on new markets and products, manage customer concerns, and collaborate with other teams. The Infusion Therapies and Platforms (ITP) segment is highly diverse, encompassing a broad portfolio of products and services that require different commercial selling approaches—ranging from price led to therapy driven engagement, to contract focused negotiations. Within this portfolio, Fluids and Infusion Systems contract management plays a pivotal role. In an increasingly commoditised market, success depends on offsetting price pressure through intelligent pricing strategies, effective contract and relationship management, engagement with key opinion leaders, and meaningful service differentiation. The Commercial Business Manager (CBM) is accountable for leading and executing commercial contracts, driving both volume growth and profitability. Collectively, these roles contribute to approximately $90M in annual revenues, with a clear mandate to grow and optimise utilisation of national frameworks across the UK and Ireland. Given the scale and strategic importance of the portfolio, the CBM role carries a high level of autonomy, operating within Baxter’s evolved omnichannel commercial model. Each CBM is expected to maximise their personal contribution to overall financial targets while providing critical market insight that directly informs future commercial and growth strategies.
