Job Description

The role

Promote an industry-leading biotech portfolio! At Amgen, our talented Biopharmaceutical Sales Representatives efficiently execute marketing strategy. There is more to this than implementing POA plans and meeting targets within agreed budgets. You will ensure each solution works for customers and patients.

Identifying and establishing collaborative customer relationships, you will evaluate progress vs. plans, stay up-to-date with competitors’ activities, and get involved in wider territory initiatives. The focus is on providing scientific and economic product knowledge that increases demand – by communicating the brand messages.

Expect business-critical conversations every day as you quickly respond to enquiries. You will also present medical educational programs alongside our medical staff – so the gravitas to inspire others with your passion for science and medicine will be important.

Your District Manager will give you the chance to feed back on the effectiveness of our strategies, activities and territory analyses, so a drive for continual improvement will be vital.

The department

Our Sales colleagues come from a variety of medical backgrounds, and have taken up the challenge of commercial roles – energized by our innovative pipeline and career opportunities.

There is a real tenaciousness to the team. Together, they explore every opportunity to build relationships and generate leads – for example by engaging with the healthcare community at every opportunity.

The District Managers coach, assess and nurture – occasionally joining calls and complementing Sales Representatives’ work through their own senior-level relationships. Ultimately, their influence underpins a broad approach that guides, supports and advises physicians, and drives sales.

Your skills

It is critical that you have at least 3 years’ pharmaceutical sales experience – along with a relevant degree, a clear interest in keeping abreast of industry trends, and a good understanding of communications plans and buy and bill strategies.

You will be an influential problem solver: used to efficiently planning and organizing client meetings, using knowledge and sales materials, and building strong, profitable relationships – internally as well as externally.

A Master’s and any biopharmaceutical experience will help you to further stand out. Beyond this, any sales experience in oncology, nephrology, dermatology, rheumatology and inflammation will be very useful. As would knowledge of neurology, endocrinology, hematology, gastroenterology, or infectious diseases.

Amgen

Though we are still a young company, we are already one of the world’s leading names in biotechnology. We have a particular focus on cardiovascular disease, oncology, bone health, neuroscience, nephrology and inflammation. And we put much of our success discovering and producing medicines and therapies down to our biology first approach.

In short, this is a place for innovation. Where ideas are not just welcome, but celebrated. Where you will have a peer group of 20,000 inspirational colleagues, not to mention the resources only a $22bn+ business can provide. This is your chance to have a positive impact on the world.

We are an Equal Opportunity employer. We appreciate, nurture and celebrate talent, without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, or protected veteran or disability status.
