About Santen
Because Santen works only in eye care, its field force calls on a single specialty: medical and sales representatives detail its ophthalmic medicines to ophthalmologists, eye clinics and hospital key accounts on a full daily call plan, driving their own territory and travelling across neighbouring provinces. Each country market staffs its own team, with representatives in territories, an area sales manager who sets their objectives and territory plans, runs performance reviews, coaches them in the field and reads the local market on pricing and competition, and key account managers who own the larger customers. Senior representatives in Bangkok take the high-potential territories with little supervision, keep customer profiles current in the CRM and guide junior reps. Vietnam adds a pharmacy channel: a key account executive in Ho Chi Minh City negotiates pricing, trade promotion, assortment and shelf visibility with pharmacy chains, a seat suited to someone from FMCG, OTC or modern trade selling. Postings ask for a medical, pharmaceutical or science degree, earlier sales experience (pharma preferred), the local language and, for field seats, a driving licence.

SalesJobs.Now is free for job seekers. Some links here pay us: a job ad network pays for a click on one of its sponsored jobs, a recruiting firm pays a referral fee when someone who came from here is hired, and a career tool pays a commission when you buy it. That costs you nothing and never lowers what you are paid. Roles whose links pay us can be placed higher in a list. "Featured roles" are openings an employer picked during a free trial with us; no employer can pay for that spot.
