National Business Development Manager - Allied Health
Most allied health clinicians spend their careers delivering care. This role asks you to do that and shape the direction of an organisation at the same time.
Optimum Health Solutions is a multidisciplinary allied health provider with 15+ clinic locations across NSW and Tasmania. We are now investing in a dedicated national business development function, and we want a practising clinician to lead it.
As National Business Development Manager, you will drive Optimum's growth at a national level. That means pursuing government tenders, securing corporate health contracts, writing grant applications, and building the strategic partnerships that will define our next chapter. It does not mean managing local referral relationships or running a territory. This is senior, complex, high-stakes BD work.
Alongside that, you will maintain a reduced clinical caseload in your own discipline. Not as a side note, as a genuine advantage. Your credibility as a practising clinician is what opens doors in this sector that a non-clinical BD professional cannot.
What you'll be doing
Identifying and pursuing national contracts, government tenders, and corporate health agreements
Leading the preparation of tender responses, grant applications, and capability statements
Building senior-level relationships with government agencies, corporate clients, and peak bodies




Managing a national pipeline from first contact through to signed agreement
Working directly with the Managing Director to define and execute Optimum's national growth strategy
Maintaining a reduced clinical caseload in your registered allied health discipline
What you'll bring
Current AHPRA registration in an allied health discipline
Demonstrated experience in BD, commercial management, or strategic sales in a B2B or government context
A track record of securing contracts, tenders, or grant funding of material value
Solid written communication skills and the ability to produce compelling tender and grant submissions
Commercial negotiation skills and the confidence to close
The ability to manage a national pipeline independently over long sales cycles
Current driver's licence and willingness to travel nationally
Why Optimum
We're a 200+ person multidisciplinary organisation with a genuine growth agenda and the leadership team to back it. You will have direct access to the Managing Director, the autonomy to build something real, and the Allied Health Warrior learning platform to keep your clinical practice sharp.
This is a rare role. It exists because we believe the best person to grow an allied health business is someone who understands it from the inside.
If that's you, we'd love to hear from you.
