Reporting to the group Sales and Marketing Director, the Sales Director OEM/ Pharma Life Sciences is in charge of structuring the group approach towards the Pharma and Life Sciences market. He also oversees a portfolio of strategic customers: mainly big OEM accounts.


The Sales Director OEM/ Pharma Life Sciences Director is in charge of the group relationship with these customers and markets: maintaining the commercial and technical relationship, optimizing the current businesses (prices, margins, …), leveraging on these to get some new ones starting (new areas, new products, new affiliates, …). He is also responsible for building the strategy and planning for short, mid and long term presence of Sterimed on the pharmaceutical packaging industry, while ensuring the consistency with group marketing and sales strategy (in terms of product development, of pricing policy, …)


The Pharma & OEM Sales Director is a team player who can interface at all levels within the organization and who can operate successfully in a multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural environment. True interface with technical services, with sales managers in the regions, with Sterimed production teams around the globe as well as marketing, he brings to his interlocutors a real added value in the construction and optimization of trade agreements.


Our pharma and life sciences department is brand new, and it needs to be built. This business unit director will be in charge of business development, as well as making product development proposals to marketing and R&D, to dig out new opportunities with our existing product portfolio as well as create a new one. Recruitment will also be a strong task to take over, when time will come to build a sales team (short to mid term).


Director’s targets:

 

  • Optimise sales on existing accounts, margin on existing products
  • Make sure that products of the groups are promoted using group sales support possibilities (training sessions, …) and leveraging on a dense knowledge of the account internal network
  • In order to generate new businesses – the qualification of group’s products by these customers, with strong focus on high Value-added products.
  • Liaise with group manufacturing plants to ensure optimise service of its accounts
  • Structure the Pharma accounts approach by: understanding the market (size), understanding the customers (products specificities), promoting business opportunities in the group manufacturing sites and help project go live. On the longer term the question of our sales organisation for this market will be tackled.
