This is a rare opportunity to build and lead Novocure's commercial presence in Switzerland. As our National Sales Manager, Switzerland, you will play a key role as an entrepreneurial force behind the successful introduction of TTFields to Swiss patients.

• Develop and execute annual business plans that achieve commercial and strategic objectives
• Ensure all business activities comply with company standards, local regulations, and ethical guidelines
• Foster a culture of excellence based on accountability, innovation, and patient focus

What We Are Looking For

• Business-level proficiency in English, French, and German (Swiss German fluency strongly preferred)
• Experience in pharma or medical devices in Switzerland
• Previous experience in glioblastoma is highly preferred; experience in oncology (particularly solid tumors), medical devices, or rare diseases would also be valuable
• Proven track record in sales, key account management, or medical affairs, ideally with leadership exposure
• Deep understanding of the Swiss healthcare landscape and payer environment
• Strong communication, collaboration, and influencing skills
• Entrepreneurial mindset with the energy, curiosity, and resilience to build and grow our presence collaboratively
• Extensive travel is an integral part of the role, with regular presence expected in the field and the option to work from our Baar global headquarters

Why Join Us
At Novocure, we are driven by innovation, courage, and empathy. We welcome people who share our commitment to improving patients' lives and value collaboration, inclusion, and curiosity. This is more than a sales role - it is an opportunity to shape a country's oncology future, make a tangible impact on patients' lives, and be part of a passionate global team redefining cancer treatment.
