JobsCloseBy Editorial Insights

Novo Nordisk is seeking a Primary Care Representative to cover Geneva and the Jura, excluding Lausanne, and to build trusted relationships with GPs, OB-GYNs, MPAs and MPKs while driving awareness of cardiometabolic disease. You will own the territory end to end, balance face-to-face visits with remote detailing, and collaborate across Marketing, Medical, Market Access and Field Sales to meet ambitious targets. The ideal candidate has 2-3 years in pharma or healthcare sales, a paramedical or scientific background, fluency in French with English and basic German, and a demonstrated ability to translate data into ethical, compelling conversations. Apply with concrete territory wins, ensure residence in the region, and show a compliant, adaptable mindset.

Are you ready to put a face to our mission in one of Switzerland's most dynamic healthcare regions? Join us in Geneva and the Jura as the trusted partner of general practitioners – translating science into real conversations that change how cardiometabolic disease is recognised, treated and talked about. This is your chance to drive growth in a portfolio that is genuinely reshaping primary care.

Your new role
As our new Primary Care Representative, you will be the face of Novo Nordisk for general practitioners across Geneva, the surrounding areas and the Jura (excluding Lausanne city). You will own your territory end-to-end – building strong, ethical relationships with HCPs and ensuring that more patients living with cardiometabolic disease benefit from our therapies.

Day-to-day your tasks will include:

• Executing targeted sales strategies to meet and exceed territory goals, using a smart mix of face-to-face visits and remote detailing
• Building and strengthening trusted relationships with general practitioners, OBGYNs, MPAs and MPKs across your territory
• Driving awareness of cardiometabolic disease and educating HCPs on the clinical benefits of our products
• Developing and executing detailed territory business plans aligned with brand strategies and company objectives
• Collaborating cross-functionally with Field Sales Managers, Specialist Care Representatives, Medical Science Liaisons, Marketing, Market Access and Medical to maximise impact
• Using CRM tools to track interactions, analyse market trends and continuously sharpen your commercial tactics
• Sharing competitive insights and best practices with the wider national team to drive collective success, while upholding the highest ethical and compliance standards

Your new department

You will join our Swiss Sales team covering the French-speaking region, working closely with marketing, medical, market access and field colleagues. It is a tight-knit, ambitious team where field insight directly shapes how we bring innovation to primary care – and where your voice from the territory genuinely counts. Please note that residence within the assigned territory is required.

Your skills & qualifications
We are looking for a high-performing, customer-centric professional who thrives on autonomy, accountability and being out in the field. You bring:

• A minimum of 2-3 years of direct sales experience, ideally within pharmaceutical, healthcare or related FMCG sectors – experience in primary care and cardiometabolic disease (diabetes, obesity) is a strong plus
• A paramedical, medical or scientific education, or a related field; an SHQA certificate is an advantage
• Fluency in French, plus basic knowledge of English and German
• A natural ability to build credible, long-term relationships with HCPs and to translate clinical data into compelling, ethical conversations
• Strong business acumen, personal leadership and a "make-it-happen" mindset, paired with strong teamwork and adaptability in a changing environment

Every day we seek the solutions that defeat serious chronic diseases. To do this, we approach our work with determination, constant curiosity and a commitment to finding better ways forward. For over 100 years, this dedication has driven us to build a company focused on lasting change for long-term health. One where diverse thinking, shared purpose and mutual respect come together to create extraordinary results. When you join us, you're not just starting a job – you're becoming part of a story that spans generations.

What we offer
There is, of course, more on offer here than the uniqueness of our culture and the extraordinary results we produce. Being part of a global healthcare company means opportunities to learn and develop are all around us, while our benefits are designed with your career and life stage in mind.
