Novartis is seeking a Sales Representative to promote immunology medicines to healthcare professionals in Malaysia. Requirements typically include a degree in pharmacy, life sciences, business, or a related discipline; relevant pharmaceutical or specialty-care sales experience; strong communication and presentation skills; a valid driving licence; and the ability to travel within the assigned territory. The candidate is expected to build trusted relationships with doctors and healthcare institutions, achieve sales targets, explain clinical and product information accurately, maintain compliant customer records, monitor market developments, and collaborate with medical, market access, and commercial teams. Knowledge of immunology, hospital sales, and Malaysia’s healthcare environment would be advantageous.
Novartis is a global medicines company headquartered in Switzerland, focused on discovering and developing innovative treatments for serious and chronic diseases. Its work spans areas such as immunology, oncology, cardiovascular and renal conditions, neuroscience, and ophthalmology. The company combines pharmaceutical research, clinical development, regulatory expertise, and commercial operations to bring new medicines to patients worldwide. In Malaysia, Novartis works with healthcare professionals, hospitals, government bodies, and other partners to support access to specialty medicines and improve patient outcomes. Employees typically work in a collaborative, science-led environment with strong expectations around ethical promotion, compliance, inclusion, continuous learning, and customer focus. Benefits and employment terms vary by role and local policy, while sales positions generally include performance-based compensation.
Malaysia offers opportunities in pharmaceutical sales, healthcare, technology, manufacturing, finance, and shared services, especially around Kuala Lumpur, Selangor, Penang, and Johor. For island living, Penang combines a strong healthcare and business sector with heritage streets, diverse food, beaches, and a relaxed lifestyle. Langkawi is quieter and scenic but has fewer corporate opportunities. Malaysian culture is multicultural, with Malay, Chinese, Indian, and Indigenous influences; English is widely used in professional settings. Living costs are moderate, though central Kuala Lumpur and popular parts of Penang can be more expensive. Public transport is strongest in the Klang Valley, while cars or motorcycles are more useful elsewhere. Foreign professionals generally need employer-sponsored authorization, such as an Employment Pass, arranged before starting work. Requirements, salary thresholds, and family permits can change, so applicants should confirm details with Novartis and Malaysian immigration authorities.
