  • Senior Strategic Account Manager Gastro-Oncology

Our client is an innovative and rapidly expanding pharmaceutical company active in oncology, with a strong focus on immunotherapy. Operating in highly specialized indications, the organization is building its footprint across Europe through a science-driven, agile, and partnership-oriented approach.

The company differentiates itself through its entrepreneurial mindset, lean structure, and strong commitment to collaboration with healthcare professionals. Within oncology, it is establishing its presence step by step, focusing on long-term value creation rather than short-term commercial gains.

Vacancy information

As a Senior Strategic Account Manager, you will take ownership of the Wallonia and Luxembourg region within a highly specialized gastro-oncology landscape. This is not a traditional sales role — it is a strategic, field-based position where scientific credibility, stakeholder engagement, and market development are key.

You will be responsible for building the company’s presence in regions where awareness is still limited, while driving the adoption of its oncology portfolio in a competitive environment dominated by established players.

This role requires a high level of autonomy, maturity, and the ability to operate in a niche market with a very limited but highly specialized target group.

Responsibilities:

  • Establish and develop the company’s presence in Wallonia and Luxembourg within oncology
  • Build strong, trust-based relationships with key stakeholders, including gastro-oncologists, pathologists, and hospital pharmacists
  • Engage a highly limited target group of specialized physicians across key academic and selected regional hospitals
  • Drive adoption of oncology treatments in a competitive landscape with strong incumbents
  • Develop tailored engagement strategies adapted to a niche market with low share of voice
  • Initiate, design, and lead scientific collaboration projects (advisory boards, expert meetings, educational initiatives, innovation topics such as AI)
  • Collaborate closely with medical, marketing, and future sales leadership
  • Act as a true partner to healthcare professionals, focusing on long-term scientific engagement
  • Ensure consistent presence and follow-up in key accounts
  • Monitor market dynamics, competitive positioning, and stakeholder feedback

Requirements information

  • Senior and mature professional with extensive experience in pharmaceutical sales or strategic account management
  • Proven experience within hospital environments
  • Strong ability to build or leverage a network with specialists (oncology, gastroenterology, or related fields) or demonstrate credible access to such stakeholders
  • Experience in highly specialized or niche markets with a limited target audience
  • Demonstrated ability to launch products, build markets, or operate in low-awareness environments
  • Strong resilience and ability to navigate complex, competitive landscapes
  • Highly autonomous, proactive, and ownership-driven
  • Strong interpersonal and influencing skills at expert level
  • Capable of initiating and leading projects independently
  • Fluent in French; additional languages are an asset

What do we offer

  • A unique opportunity to build a market and shape the company’s presence in a region
  • A highly strategic and visible role with real impact
  • The chance to work in a niche, science-driven environment at the forefront of oncology
  • High level of autonomy and ownership
  • Collaboration within a senior and experienced team environment
  • Long-term growth aligned with pipeline expansion and future indications
