About this opportunity

Your impact begins here

As Hospital Sales Representative, you will be the trusted face of Novo to healthcare professionals. You will bring our expanding Cardiometabolic portfolio to endocrinologists, cardiologists, gastroenterologists and diabetes educators, and you will own your territory from plan to results.

What you’ll bring

You are a curious, resilient and customer-obsessed sales professional who is energised by ambitious targets and complex clinical conversations. You bring:

A minimum of 3 years’ sales experience in the ethical pharmaceutical industry, with specialist or hospital sales exposure.

Strong interpersonal and stakeholder-management skills, with the ability to collaborate across internal teams and with external healthcare professionals and key opinion leaders.

High learning agility, curiosity and the creativity to solve complex business problems, with comfort working through ambiguity and change.

A current driver’s licence and active driving experience, as regular territory travel is essential.

Tertiary qualifications in Life Sciences, Nursing, Paramedical or a business-related field preferred.

What you’ll do

You will turn an understanding of your territory into focused action, building relationships that help our treatments reach the people who need them.

Drive territory sales and support wider regional sales development, working closely with colleagues in Sales, Marketing and other customer-facing teams.

Analyse opportunities and challenges across your territory, then develop and deliver a territory plan you are fully accountable for.

Deliver first-class customer engagement through calls, group presentations and tailored meetings aligned to our sales and marketing strategy.

Build long-term relationships with existing customers and identify new groups of doctors who treat other serious chronic diseases.

Monitor competitor activity, assess its impact and adapt your approach.

Contribute to regional meetings, national conferences and cross-functional projects, and complete required administration accurately and on time (including CRM, Medicines Australia reporting, KAMs and expenses), always working in line with The Novo Way.

Who you’ll work with

You will report to the State Sales Manager and join the Cardiometabolic team in Sydney. Your territory covers Royal Prince Alfred (RPA), Prince of Wales and St George hospitals, with country trips to the ACT, Griffith, Dubbo and Wagga.

You will work side by side with colleagues in Sales, Marketing and customer-facing teams, sharing what you learn in the field so the team can act with clarity and pace. It is a fast-moving, collaborative environment where every representative plays a direct role in bringing our portfolio to more hospitals, more specialists and more people across the region.

What you can expect here

In addition to being part of a collaborative and authentic culture, our employees are rewarded with Health and Wellbeing days, gifted leave between Christmas and New Year, extensive learning and development opportunities and regular team and company offsite events.  With a very competitive car allowance, our field staff have the latest technology; a laptop, tablet and mobile phone with a very competitive car allowance.

You will be trusted to own your territory and make your voice heard, with clear performance expectations and the support of a team that wins together. Learning is part of the job: you will build new skills through the work itself, through complex clinical conversations and through cross-functional projects that broaden your commercial perspective.

How we calculate "similar"

No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.

Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.

Unmatched or unknown dimensions score exactly the same: 0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
