Alliance Boots is the result of the successful merger of Boots Group Plc and Alliance Unichem Plc in 2006. The combined business was taken private in 2007, in a deal backed by KKR, in what was Europe’s largest MBO. The business has performed extremely well since the MBO and continues to seek to achieve its stated goal to become the world’s leading pharmacy-led health and beauty group.

Job Description

We now want to strengthen our Strategic Development Team to drive the future growth of our business with the creation of a number of key roles at both Head of Business Development and Business Development Manager level.

This team identifies and evaluates a diverse range of commercial growth opportunities to create new business strategies that will deliver future value consistent with our ambitious vision for our organisation. This is a wide ranging activity which may involve, for example, evaluating potential acquisition targets, developing new retail formats, and identifying opportunities for further growth in our chosen markets. Successful candidates will work on high profile strategic issues in both healthcare and retail sectors, and have a significant degree of involvement and influence across our business.

Skills and Experience

We are looking for people with a strong track record of delivering new initiatives in a highly commercial environment, who combine strong strategic thinking with deep customer understanding. Candidates will be highly motivated, able to work collaboratively with a wide range of stakeholders, and be capable of bringing structure and direction to the most complex projects and issues. You will probably have an MBA, ACA or equivalent qualification and experience with either a leading strategy consulting practice or similar experience within a large company. We are seeking to recruit individuals at both the lower and upper ends of the salary parameters stated.

This is an outstanding opportunity to join a major retail organisation, within a private equity backed environment, in what are both operational and strategic roles. Rapid career progression is envisaged, with the potential to move into a general or functional management role in a business unit.
