Popular Pharmaceutical Roles

Pharmaceutical Sales Representative

As a pharmaceutical sales representative, your primary responsibility will be to promote and sell pharmaceutical products to healthcare professionals, such as doctors, nurses, and pharmacists. This involves conducting product demonstrations, providing product information and samples, and answering questions about the products you are representing. You may also be responsible for tracking sales data, developing sales strategies, and building relationships with your clients. To be successful in this role, you need to be knowledgeable about the products you are selling and have strong communication and interpersonal skills. You may also need to be comfortable working independently and managing your own schedule.

Manufacturing Technician

Pharmaceutical manufacturing technicians primarily work on the testing and manufacture of pharmaceutical products. Daily tasks in this role may include operating and maintaining highly specialised equipment, staying up to date on standard operating procedures, and ensuring your facility adheres to best manufacturing practices. Pharmaceutical manufacturing technicians need to have great problem-solving skills, excellent attention to detail, and be able to learn new tasks quickly as they perform quality checks and troubleshoot issues that arise during the production process. Being a manufacturing technician in the pharmaceutical industry can be challenging, but it’s highly rewarding for people who are interested in healthcare.

Research Manager

With a job as a research manager at a pharmaceutical company, you may be responsible for overseeing the design and implementation of research studies, managing budgets and timelines, and collaborating with other teams and departments. From time-to-time, you may also be involved in more hands-on research activities such as analyzing and interpreting data, writing reports and presentations, and communicating results to stakeholders. Research managers need to have a flawless knowledge of regulations and trends in pharmaceuticals, as well as other hard skills such as great organisation and planning. Having a background in a science is a must, so research managers will usually have at least an undergraduate degree.

If you thrive in a laboratory setting and love to conduct scientific research and testing that has tangible, real-world impacts, then being a laboratory assistant in the pharmaceutical industry is a great role for you. As a laboratory assistant, you’ll prepare samples, set up experiments, and write up and present reports.
