We are looking for a Senior Oral Care Consultant (OCC) who will be at the forefront of our mission to help deliver top-tier oral health products. The Senior OCC will report into the Senior Marketing Manager Oral Care.

This position is threefold:

First, the Senior OCC will visit dental offices with the aim of building strong relationships with dental professionals, to drive recommendation and endorsement for our product portfolio.

Second, the Senior OCC spends a third of their time on team management, meaning the coordination of tasks of the OCC team (5 persons) from our office in Weesp as well as joint traveling with other OCC’s on their mission. Ideally, the Senior OCC therefore lives about an hour's journey from Weesp.

Last but not least, the Senior OCC acts as a spokesperson for colleagues in the office, providing input when it comes to developments in the field and the resulting opportunities and possibilities. In doing so, they’re working closely with the internal scientific department (Scientific Affairs) and the professional marketing department.
