* Collaborate cross-functionally with internal teams to ensure alignment and successful execution.
Please note this role requires extensive travel (around 70%) across the northern and central regions of Portugal to establish and maintain strong relationships with healthcare organizations.
Your new department
You will be part of Novo Nordisk’s Portugal Cardiometabolic Marketing Team operating at the intersection of strategy, innovation, and partnership. Our mission is to reimagine care models in obesity and cardiometabolic disease by building bridges with healthcare providers, grounded in trust, data, and a shared commitment to improving lives.

To succeed in this role, we imagine you have:
* A bachelor’s degree in business, economics, life sciences, or a related field (MBA or similar is strongly preferred).
* A minimum of 5 years of experience in business development or strategic partnerships in the pharmaceutical or healthcare industry.
* Proven track record of identifying and securing innovative commercial opportunities.
* Strong commercial and strategic acumen with experience developing business cases and navigating market dynamics.
* Fluency in English and Portuguese, both written and spoken.
Experience in the obesity or cardiometabolic therapy area and consultancy background will be considered an advantage. In addition, you bring strong stakeholder management and communication skills, with the ability to present strategic business models and influence decision-making at various levels. Your consulting mindset (including diagnosing market scenarios and crafting tailored business solutions) will be a key asset. You combine strategic vision and market insights with the drive to innovate, adapt, and explore new ways to deliver value.
