About this opportunity

About the role

We are recruiting Medical Sales Representatives to support a new primary care engagement project in Hungary, focused on improving the understanding and management of obesity as a chronic disease.

This is a field-based role where you will work directly with General Practitioners, delivering high-quality scientific engagement that supports better clinical decision-making. Success is driven by the quality of your interactions, credibility and engagement, rather than traditional sales targets.

What you’ll be doing

You will act as a trusted partner to clinicians, combining strong relationship management with confident scientific discussion.

Your responsibilities will include:

Building and maintaining relationships with General Practitioners across your territory

Delivering high-quality, compliant scientific discussions

Educating clinicians on obesity as a chronic disease and associated comorbidities

Communicating clinical data, treatment value and appropriate use of therapies

Demonstrating a clear ability to connect drug knowledge with the wider disease landscape and patient journey

Managing daily activity, identifying new target clinicians and maintaining consistent engagement

Organising and supporting peer-to-peer discussions and small group meetings

Capturing insights and maintaining accurate CRM reporting

What you bring

This role requires both scientific confidence and strong field execution.

You will ideally have:

Experience in pharmaceutical sales or healthcare engagement roles

The ability to deliver credible scientific discussions with healthcare professionals

A strong understanding of how treatments fit into real clinical practice

Knowledge of relevant disease areas such as obesity, diabetes or cardiovascular health

Confidence interpreting and presenting clinical data

Strong organisation, communication and relationship-building skills

Why join

This is an opportunity to move beyond traditional sales into a more modern, education-led role, focused on improving patient outcomes in a high-priority disease area.

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.
