Job Description:

Do you want to build and implement a 3-year Medical L&D roadmap that supports an effective medical organization with a growth mindset? Can you leverage digital opportunities to expand how we deliver training and ensure continuous learning?
This is your opportunity to step into a global role where you will focus on the education and professional growth of medical employees. You will help ensure they have the skills and knowledge needed to excel in their roles, while leveraging or strengthening your understanding of adult learning principles and experience with global stakeholder management.
“This role touches upon all the ACE principles. Accountability, because it is hands-on and you get to take action. Collaboration is important because you will be working with a host of colleagues within the Medical organization. And entrepreneurship, because we encourage you to come in with fresh eyes to create a strategy and a road map.” Stephanie Otis, VP of Global Medical Excellence
Ferring + you
You will join the Global Medical Excellence department (with the option of staying in your current location), where you can contribute to a culture of continuous learning among medical employees.
Playing a key role in establishing and coordinating training plans and competency frameworks, you will ensure that the appropriate knowledge and skills required for medical roles are in place for Ferring to be recognized as a credible scientific partner.
Your day at Ferring

Plan the execution of needed training sessions and support subject matter experts in delivering the training and content to make the training sessions interactive and effective
Deliver high-quality internal medical and product-focused training programs in a timely manner, considering product launch excellence
Work with global and regional medical stakeholders to support their L&D needs
Support and supervise the execution of training programs at regional and local levels and devise and deliver “train-the-trainer” programs when relevant
Provide support for the design of tailored local training
Develop a thorough onboarding training plan for all new employees in the medical organization, adapted to specific roles, including creating and maintaining the initial onboarding training matrix

Behind our innovation – there’s you
You have a good understanding of medical affairs and adult learning principles, allowing you to become the single point of contact for driving L&D activities for the Medical organization.
We imagine you have a scientific degree combined with solid experience from the pharmaceutical industry in a role focused on medical affairs, L&D, and/or curriculum design. It would be a plus if you have experience in a field-facing medical role or experience with stakeholder management.
Finally, you are digitally savvy – and perhaps have experience creating e-learning.
