The Role

• The ideal candidate can reside in Köln, Düsseldorf, Essen, Dortmund and surrounding areas

• You will take full ownership of the commercial performance of Moderna’s vaccine portfolio across your assigned regions in Germany. This role is significantly broader than a traditional regional sales management position.

• You will operate as a regional business owner, combining strategic territory leadership with hands-on field execution. In this role, you will lead and steer a dedicated field force, translate national strategy into regional execution, and continuously evolve how Moderna engages with physicians, vaccination centers, and pharmacies.

• You will define regional priorities, drive performance, and position your region as a frontrunner for modern, digital-first and scalable commercial engagement models.

• This is a field-based role with home-office flexibility and requires extensive travel within the region, with occasional national travel.

Here’s What You’ll Do

• Full accountability for regional sales, revenue, and market share targets for Moderna’s vaccine portfolio

• End-to-end ownership of regional business planning and execution, aligned with national strategy and adapted to local market dynamics (e.g. seasonality, vaccination programs, urban vs. rural coverage)

• Leadership, steering, and performance management of the regional field force, including prioritization, target setting, coaching, and continuous development

• Driving effective deployment of resources across territories to maximize impact and coverage

• Establishing and expanding strategic partnerships with key physicians, vaccination centers, and pharmacies, beyond traditional engagement models

• Designing and implementing innovative engagement formats, including digital HCP interactions, hybrid events, pharmacy-led initiatives, and scalable online/offline approaches

• Acting as a regional role model and internal advocate for digital and data-driven commercial execution

• Continuous analysis of regional market trends, competitive intelligence, and customer needs, translating insights into clear action plans and execution priorities

• Close cross-functional collaboration with Marketing, Medical, Access, and Commercial Excellence teams

Here’s What You’ll Need (Basic Qualifications)

• Completed university degree in business administration, pharmaceutical sciences, natural sciences, or a comparable qualification

• 5–7+ years of professional experience in pharmaceutical field sales, territory, or regional management; experience in vaccines or infectious diseases strongly preferred

• Proven experience in leading, steering, and developing a field force or cross-territory commercial teams

• Demonstrated success in building and scaling new commercial channels beyond traditional sales models

• Strong digital affinity with hands-on experience using CRM systems, e-detailing, virtual HCP engagement, and digital communication tools

• Entrepreneurial mindset with a strong ownership mentality and the ability to operate independently in a dynamic environment

• High willingness to travel and flexibility in a field-based role

• Excellent communication, presentation, and influencing skills; fluent German and English required
