What you'll do:

As Head of Marketing – Hospital Sector, you will play a crucial role in shaping how healthcare services are perceived and accessed across Malaysia.

Your remit covers everything from digital outreach for health tourism to building commercial alliances that drive sustainable growth. Success in this role requires not only technical expertise but also a genuine commitment to enhancing patient experiences through thoughtful communication and responsive service delivery. By leveraging your analytical skills alongside your ability to foster teamwork across multiple sites, you will help ensure that every aspect of the organisation’s marketing effort contributes meaningfully to its mission.

• Develop comprehensive marketing strategies that align with five-year business plans and translate high-level objectives into actionable campaigns across all hospital branches.

• Build and maintain commercial partnerships with government-linked companies, third-party administrators, insurance providers, and other key stakeholders to expand market reach.

• Present strategic plans to the board of directors and defend recommendations using robust data analysis; interact regularly with holding company representatives to ensure alignment with broader corporate goals.
• Manage credit revenue streams by understanding the nuances of corporate client servicing within the hospital sector, ensuring that marketing supports financial targets related to credit-based payments.
• Lead a diverse team comprising head office staff focused on strategy development as well as branch-level marketers responsible for local execution.
• Monitor performance metrics against established KPIs, adjusting tactics as needed to achieve desired outcomes in brand awareness, patient acquisition, and revenue generation.
