Exceptional delivery creates reference accounts, and reference accounts drive sustained momentum across the NHS. This role defines that engine for the UK. The standard set here will shape how Lyrebird scales nationally and influence what NHS trusts expect from us as a partner. For the right leader, this is an opportunity to define how a category defining healthcare company scales across a national health system.
