Medisana is developing, promoting and distributing products in the categories of mobile health, health control, wellness, body care, therapy, and healthy home for health-conscious consumers worldwide.

The sales agent is expected to proactively suggest marketing initiatives, with the company open to co‑investing in local campaigns.

• Collaborate with the HQ in Germany on marketing initiatives and leverage provided materials;
• Report on market trends, sales performance and competitor activities;
• Take ownership of the Medisana brand in Italy, acting as the primary point of contact;
• Represent Medisana at relevant trade fairs, congresses and industry events to strengthen the brand’s presence;
• Act as the primary link between customers and Medisana’s internal sales, marketing and product teams to ensure seamless cooperation.

Qualifications :

• Strategic thinking combined with hands‑on execution;
• Language skills: Fluent Italian and English (for daily communication with our international team);
