About This Role
This role is a field-based entry point into pharmaceutical sales, focused on building relationships with healthcare providers and driving product adoption. It suits early-career professionals who are comfortable with frequent client visits and meeting sales targets, while gaining exposure to Ethiopia’s pharmaceutical supply chain.
What the Requirements Say About This Role

How to Approach This Application
