Jobs in Parma, Italy

Are you ready to establish and grow a leading consumer health brand in Italy?

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. With a well-established presence in several European markets we are now looking to expand our footprint in Italy.

As our Sales Agent (Consumer Health Products) you will be the driving force behind Medisana’s Italian market entry and expansion, building brand awareness and forging strong relationships with key retailers and e‑commerce platforms.
