ROLE OVERVIEW

Abbott's Established Pharmaceutical Division (EPD) is seeking a Key Account Manager for its Futura portfolio in the Jaipur territory. This is a front-line commercial role at the heart of Abbott's branded-generics strategy in India, where sustained growth depends on winning prescriber confidence across Rajasthan's fast-expanding tier-2 healthcare ecosystem. The position owns territory-level sales targets, prescription generation and market-share expansion for a mature, high-volume product basket, working directly with doctors, chemists and stockists. Because the role operates with genuine field autonomy and daily exposure to clinicians, it offers an unusually strong launchpad: successful incumbents build a demonstrable revenue record, deep therapy-area credibility and internal visibility that feeds Abbott's area management and brand-marketing pipelines. For candidates from MNC or leading Indian pharma backgrounds, it is a compelling opportunity to inherit an established territory while applying modern, data-led coverage and frequency discipline.

ROLE DEFINITION & RESPONSIBILITIES

  • •Achieve assigned territory and geography sales targets for the Futura portfolio on a monthly, quarterly and annual basis.
  • •Execute structured field work independently, planning daily call routes across assigned doctors, chemists and stockists.
  • •Generate maximum prescriptions and grow market share for promoted brands within the defined therapy area.
  • •Promote division products strictly in line with approved strategy, messaging and promotional compliance norms.
  • •Build durable relationships with prescribers, retail chemists and distributors to secure availability and advocacy.
  • •Report daily field activity and call outcomes accurately on the assigned online SFA/CRM system.
  • •Meet Call Average, Coverage and Frequency Coverage (CFC) norms set for the division every working cycle.
  • •Contribute local market intelligence and competitor insights to support regional strategy building.

QUALIFICATIONS & REQUIREMENTS

REQUIRED QUALIFICATIONS

  • BSc or B.Pharm degree from a recognised university.
  • Minimum 2+ years of pharmaceutical field sales experience; freshers with strong communication and analytical ability may also be considered.
  • Prior or current experience in the same therapy area is strongly preferred.
  • Experience with an MNC or leading Indian pharma company is an added advantage.
  • Fluent, confident communication in English and the local regional language.
  • Willingness to travel up to 100% of working time and remain standing for prolonged periods during field work.
  • Valid two-wheeler or four-wheeler driving licence and readiness to relocate within the territory.

EXPECTED CAREER ROADMAP

From Key Account Manager, a high performer at Abbott typically progresses within 18-30 months to Area Business Manager or Senior Territory Manager, owning a larger team and revenue mandate. The next step is Regional Sales Manager or a lateral move into brand/product management, training, or commercial excellence. Abbott's structured performance reviews, internal job postings and MNC brand equity make internal mobility realistic for consistent achievers. Externally, the profile transfers well to therapy-manager and key-account roles at Sun Pharma, Cipla, Dr. Reddy's, Mankind, Alkem and multinational affiliates, or into medical-device and diagnostics sales where consultative selling to clinicians is valued. Strong commercial records also open doors to market-access and institutional-tender roles.

APPLICATION ADVISORY

Tailor your CV to show territory numbers, not just duties: monthly prescription growth percentages, market-share gains, doctor coverage counts and CFC achievement. Be ready to discuss your therapy area in clinical depth, name the prescriber segments you influence, and explain how you convert a reluctant chemist into a stocking partner. Interviews with Abbott managers stress role-play detailing, objection handling and structured territory planning, so rehearse a five-minute product pitch and a competitor-response scenario. Highlight MNC or top-Indian-pharma tenure early, confirm willingness to travel 100%, and mention local Jaipur or Rajasthan market familiarity as a distinct advantage.
