Our passion for helping people live better lives and our award-winning product pipeline can only be as effective as our ability to provide life-changing information to physicians and customers. Our Sales professionals ensure that the latest therapies and products reach the people who need them most, by listening to their needs and advocating for even greater enhancements.
This means driving strategy in tandem with our Marketing team and balancing performance with compassion. This contributes to a model where unmatched training and a commitment to sustainability are changing the playing field. Welcome to Sales at Novo Nordisk.
While other companies are "right-sizing," we're expanding at the right pace – consistently hitting double-digit sales growth, with over $4 billion in revenue last year alone. Here you’ll find a diverse breadth of Sales opportunities with our industry-leading products in diabetes care, especially injectables, as well as biopharmaceuticals in hemophilia, growth hormone deficiency, and other chronic conditions. A huge investment in clinical trials and an exceptional record in product safety back it all, with more drug approvals on the way.
The Sales team at Novo Nordisk is divided into Diabetes Sales, Biopharmaceutical Sales, and Managed Market Sales, with some Marketing positions in the Sales family. Collaborating across boundaries is the norm, along with promoting from within. As you gain experience within the company, there will be plenty of opportunities to move up. You could choose to work as a mentor or coach, develop your skills managing a sales team, or even change roles to find a position in Marketing or many other areas of interest. Combine all this with our expanding market reach and global relocation/temporary assignment opportunities, and your ability to live your potential will be virtually limitless.
People who drive performance in Sales at Novo Nordisk arrive with proven track records in business-to-business, pharmaceutical, medical device or biopharmaceutical sales. The right combination of business acumen and clinical knowledge is critical no matter which route you take in our business. More than anything, a winning attitude and passion for making a real difference in the lives of our patients ensures the right fit for you and the team at Novo Nordisk.
Our relationships are the foundation of our success. Your experience in the territories you’ll need to call on should be established and relevant. A knack for working hand-in-hand with other business areas like Marketing, Medical, Clinical, & Regulatory will add to your momentum. In our environment of dynamic growth, the ability to manage business complexities while adapting to change is crucial. Of course, your presentation skills should be best in class. In short: be ready to hit the ground running.
