Johannesburg, South Africa Novo Nordisk Full time

**About the Department***

The Clinical, Medical and Regulatory (CMR) department at Novo Nordisk is one of the most diverse and collaborative groups within the organization. From health-care-provider interactions and developing and implementing regulatory strategies with the FDA to providing medical education and collecting data to support efficacy and new product development, CMR is involved. The one thing that keeps us all marching to the same beat is our patient-centered focus. At Novo Nordisk, you will help patients around the world. As their needs evolve, so does our challenge to find better and more innovative ways to improve their quality of life. We’re changing lives for a living. Are you ready to make a difference?

If data could speak, it would say that 87% of healthcare professionals never received advanced training on obesity after medical school1. In fact, 69% of adults living with obesity even report experiences of stigmatization from HCPs2, leaving 81% to feel weight loss is their sole responsibility3. At Novo Nordisk, we want to change that by breaking down barriers and educating. As a Regional Medical Advisor, you'll have the chance to build new relationships and transform the way medical professionals talk about and treat obesity - positively impacting people living with obesity around the world. Use your tenacity. Use your curiosity. Are you ready to change the story now?

**The position**

As a Regional Medical Advisor, you’ll build critical relationships with Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) and healthcare providers, expanding your reach to a multidisciplinary team of potential role players in the management of obesity - pushing for better clinical outcomes for people living with obesity. You’ll engage in scientific dialogue on the disease area and demonstrate the benefits of key products with healthcare professionals (HCPs) and relevant associations, providing medical information and coordinating educational workshops, round tables, medical forums, and discussing role of pharmacotherapy in guidelines, etc. - all to help transform the treatment of millions of people living with obesity around the world.

You’ll leverage your knowledge of various diseases linked with obesity, while going out of your comfort zone to find creative ways and non-conventional methods to interact with and engage HCPs to highlight obesity as a chronic disease that needs a multidisciplinary approach to treatment.

Most importantly, you’ll use your extensive scientific expertise to communicate with healthcare providers and change the story of obesity for good.

This role directly reports to Head of Medical Affairs and will be located in Johannesburg, with the geographical scope of the role extending to the whole of South Africa.

What you’ll get to do in this role:

- Build your understanding of the landscape of obesity as a chronic disease, as well as various diseases links with obesity and also learn new sciences/areas
- Work with non-conventional methods and find creative ways to interact with and engage healthcare professionals and relevant associations
- Combine scientific expertise, communication skills and business acumen to enhance value and develop collaborative relationships
- Develop and maintain relationships with key opinion leaders, healthcare providers, funders and associations
- Provide scientific and clinical education to Chief Executives of relevant healthcare institutions, Medical Directors and formulary stakeholders to secure proper access to treatment

Your responsibility will be also to impact the business outcomes positively through strategic action plans (especially back-office med teams) and the cultivation of key relationships, to transfer scientific content and value to both experts and non-medical audiences and collaborate cross functionally with sales, clinical operations, field access and trial/study investigation sites.

**Qualifications**

To be effective in this role, it is mandatory to have:

- Medical Doctor (preferable) or Master’s degree in Life Sciences (Medical doctor, Pharmacist, Biochemist) or PHD
- Relevant clinical and/or therapeutic experience is preferred
- Displays business acumen and knowledge around out-of-pocket selling dynamics, based on experiences such as participation in formulary process decisions
- Expertise in the cardiometabolic space or adjacent area
- Exceptional communication skills

As a Person You Are
- Focused on being one team and have an “all hands-on deck mentality”
- Self-confident, able to influence and be credible to different stakeholders, with an effective communication
- Proactive with a self-starter approach

**About the Department**
