Part-time UK Managing Director and Company Director – International Healthcare and Advisory Services

Flexible, part-time executive appointment, initially requiring a few days per month. The role will be mainly remote, with occasional attendance in London and elsewhere in the UK.

About NoriaHealth Ltd

NoriaHealth Ltd provides international healthcare coordination, business development and advisory services.

Our main service, Noria Health Hub, is a premium international medical coordination platform. We support private and international patients seeking rapid access to a global network of doctors, hospitals and medical specialists. We aim to arrange an initial medical assessment and a fully coordinated care pathway within 48 hours. Where clinically appropriate and subject to medical availability, we may also coordinate access to surgery within ten days.

As we develop our UK activities, we are seeking an experienced and commercially minded professional to join the board as a part-time UK Managing Director and Company Director of NoriaHealth Ltd.

This is a genuine executive role with responsibility for managing, representing and developing the company’s activities in the United Kingdom.

The role

You will take responsibility for the local management, commercial development and operational oversight of NoriaHealth Ltd’s UK activities.

The workload will be deliberately limited at the outset, with a small number of prospects and assignments. The level of involvement may increase progressively as the business develops, particularly during the first three months.

You will work closely with the company’s other Directors, including the Director with primary responsibility for financial oversight.

• Take responsibility for managing and developing the company’s UK activities.
• Exercise independent judgement and genuine decision-making authority within an agreed delegation framework.
• Implement the strategy approved by the board.
• Represent the company in dealings with UK clients, partners, suppliers and professional advisers.
• Oversee local partners, service providers and any future UK-based team members.
• Ensure that key commercial and operational decisions are properly documented.

• Develop Noria Health Hub’s client and patient base in the UK and internationally.
• Identify and approach suitable referral partners, intermediaries and premium client networks.
• Build relationships with private medical practices, clinics, hospitals, insurers, businesses, family offices, concierge services and other relevant organisations.
• Present Noria Health Hub’s services to prospective clients and partners.
• Manage prospects from initial contact through to commercial agreement.
• Help define commercial propositions, partnerships and routes to market.
• Contribute to increasing the number of qualified prospects and active clients.

The company already has a Director with primary responsibility for financial oversight. You will not be expected to undertake bookkeeping or act as Finance Director, but you must be comfortable working with budgets, commercial figures and financial reporting.
