We are hiring a Commercial Development Manager for a newly established Animal Health company in the Nordics!

Are you ready to help shape the future of an ambitious growth company within Animal Health? We are seeking an experienced Commercial Development Manager to introduce innovative veterinary medicinal products, including generics, OTC products and veterinary medical devices, to the Nordic market while contributing to future expansion across Europe. While the primary focus is Animal Health, opportunities within human pharmaceuticals may also be evaluated and developed as part of the company’s long-term growth strategy.

To succeed in this role, you bring solid experience from Animal Health and a strong understanding of the veterinary market landscape and its commercial dynamics. Experience from a similar business development role, including product identification, licensing, distribution agreements and international partnerships, is highly desirable. Experience spanning both Animal Health and human pharmaceuticals is considered a strong advantage.

This is a hands-on position covering the full business development cycle, from market assessment and opportunity scouting to partnership structuring and contract negotiations. As an early addition to the company, you will play a key role in building the business from the ground up. The position is initially part-time, with a clear ambition to transition into a full-time role as the company scales.

• Develop and strengthen strategic relationships with global suppliers and partners across key Animal Health markets

• Negotiate licensing agreements, distribution models, and commercial partnerships that create long-term value

• Expand and maintain a strong international network within Animal Health as well as relevant segments of the human pharmaceutical sector

• Prepare business cases and financial analyses to support strategic decision-making

• Contribute to shaping strategies that will drive growth across the Nordic region and beyond

About You

• Several years of experience in business development within the Animal Health industry

• Proven track record from a similar role with documented commercial results

• Strong understanding of regulatory and commercial dynamics within the Nordic veterinary market

• Experience from both human pharmaceuticals and Animal Health is highly meritorious

• Strong international network and the ability to build trust across markets

• Skilled negotiator with deep commercial understanding and experience in licensing, contracts, partnerships, and distribution models

• Results-driven, proactive, and motivated to deliver measurable outcomes

• Strong analytical skills and advanced Excel proficiency
