-Ensuring full compliance with NN standards and local regulations, embedding ethical conduct, quality, and robust training across the Sales unit.
The role will be based in Bucharest, Romania and will report directly to the General Manager Romania. 

Your new department

The Cardiometabolic Sales team in Romania drives commercial success for Novo Nordisk’s cardiometabolic portfolio, including diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular therapies. We collaborate with cross-functional partners across medical affairs, market access, regulatory, supply and corporate functions, plus external stakeholders including healthcare professionals, payers and patient organizations.

Joining us, you will support our unwavering commitment to translate global strategy into impactful local plans, combining market insights, clinical evidence, and stakeholder engagement to increase patient access and improve outcomes.

We’re looking for an inspiring leader with a sharp commercial mindset and a true can-do attitude, someone who thrives on empowering teams and driving meaningful impact. With your self-driven, autonomous, and agile approach, you also bring:

-A minimum of a bachelor’s degree in business administration, sales, medicine, or a related field, coupled with strong business acumen.
-At least 10 years of commercial experience in sales within a large pharmaceutical company, with proven strategic, operational, and business development capabilities.
