What You’ll Do

You will translate medical strategy into measurable progress in your region, acting as a trusted scientific partner to healthcare professionals and to colleagues across Novo Nordisk.

• Implement the national Medical Affairs strategy in your region, turning strategic objectives into measurable local activities and timelines.
• Build and expand evidence-based relationships with key opinion leaders, diabetes specialists and other stakeholders to drive scientific exchange around the Novo Nordisk portfolio.
• Attend scientific meetings and engage with healthcare professionals to capture clinical needs, practice trends and unmet needs - then share timely, actionable insights with cross-functional teams.
• Give medical input to marketing, sales and the brand team on product positioning, clinical data interpretation and label information, anticipating market changes and recommending corrective or preventive actions.
• Develop and deliver scientific training and education for physicians, allied healthcare professionals and internal field and marketing colleagues, ensuring consistent and compliant medical knowledge across the region.
• Carry out all activities in line with local regulations, Novo Nordisk policies and ethical standards for scientific engagement.

Who You’ll Work With

You will join the Medical Affairs team in India, part of International Operations, where colleagues work across markets to serve people around the world and help improve health at scale.
