Zealand Pharma A/S (Zealand) is a Copenhagen-based biotechnology company focused on the discovery, development, and commercialization of peptide-based medicines. In 2022, we had positive clinical results in two phase 3 programs and are therefore scaling up our commercial efforts to bring new products to the market. To achieve this, we are strategically pursuing global co-development and commercialization partnerships that complement and extend our capabilities to deliver new therapies to patients with unmet medical needs.

Zealand Pharma is seeking a Commercial Director with experience in commercial biotech or pharma in a newly established position.

As a small company, we support each other’s tasks flexibly and have all ‘hands on deck’ when required.

The commercial department is right now a team of three. We are busy mapping commercialization opportunities for our broad development pipeline and planning of key products in both Europe and US.

The strategy of Zealand Pharma is to find and work with partners for the commercialization, so all the work is in close collaboration with internal as well as external stakeholders. Collaboration and communication both internally and externally are important ways to achieve the ambitious goals of making a significant impact on patient care. We are having broad experience in the team and are looking to further expand this.
