Designated Signatory (WvP) and Medical Advisor

Are you an experienced and forward-thinking medical affairs professional with scientific expertise as well as profound knowledge in promotional compliance who thrives at the intersection of medical affairs and commercial strategy? Then this dual role at Novo Nordisk Pharma AG could be your next defining move.

Your new role
As Designated Signatory (Werbeverantwortliche Person) and Medical Advisor, you will combine two areas of responsibility that are central to how Novo Nordisk operates in Switzerland: safeguarding the compliance and quality of our promotional activities, and providing deep scientific expertise across our cardiometabolic portfolio. You will act as an independent voice on promotional sign-off, while also partnering closely with healthcare professionals, key opinion leaders and internal teams to advance medical understanding of our products.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Serving as designated signatory according to the Swiss Pharmaceutical Code of Conduct (Pharmakodex 62.3, 63.1, 63.2) and Art. 25 Abs. 1 Arzneimittelwerbeverordnung – reviewing, certifying and signing off promotional materials based on informed, independent decisions and sound risk assessment


• Setting and enforcing internal standards for accuracy, validity and adequacy of promotional content, owning local SOP Q101033 and training staff on prescription drug promotion rules


• Providing high-quality medical and scientific support, education and training to healthcare professionals, key opinion leaders and internal colleagues in the cardiometabolic space


• Developing and delivering presentations at local meetings, symposia and external conferences, and supporting or organising advisory boards


• Handling medical information and literature requests, and creating standard medical slide kits and scientific updates for internal and external stakeholders


• Collaborating closely with Marketing, Sales, Regulatory, Legal, Ethics & Compliance and the Pharmacode Secretary to ensure alignment between scientific integrity and commercial strategy

Your new department

You will join the Medical Affairs team at Novo Nordisk Pharma AG in Switzerland, reporting directly to the Director of Medical Affairs. It is a close-knit, cross-functional environment where scientific excellence, compliance and commercial ambition come together – and where your independent expertise will directly influence how our cardiometabolic portfolio is understood and used across the country.

Your skills & qualifications
We are looking for a scientifically curious, principled professional who can balance independence with strong collaboration across functions. To succeed in this role, you will bring:

• A university degree in Natural Sciences (PhD preferred) or Medicine


• Ideally more than 3 years of relevant pharmaceutical industry experience, preferably within Medical Affairs


• Solid knowledge of cardiometabolic diseases and a genuine passion for science and medicine, with the ability to understand and clearly communicate complex scientific data


• Strong communication and presentation skills, with a self-starting personality and a high level of ownership and accountability


• Fluency in German and English; familiarity with Swiss regulatory frameworks (HMG, AWV, Pharmakodex) is a strong advantage
