Senior Product Manager

"I started in the business as a medical representative, before moving into marketing.

My responsibility is to guide the strategic marketing of the product, which involves many elements. I liaise with the sales team and look after the direction of where the product should go. This involves producing materials, such as brochures, leaflets and electronic literature, to help the sales team achieve their objectives.

My role is very much a self servicing one, it's just me, myself and I. This is a challenge in itself, because of time constraints, which include: trying to send out materials; manage budgets; brief marketing, advertising and PR agencies; liaise with the purchasing department, etc and sometimes all at once!

I can't complain as for me the satisfaction is to have the sole responsibility (other products have teams), from a marketing aspect.

Boehringer very good company to work for, as it's employee orientated and supports a solid work life balance ethic. It's a company makes you feel they value you as an individual and that's important to me.

There are also excellent opportunities to develop and grow, as long as you are interested in developing yourself.

I regard myself as very lucky to be working for a company that wants employees to be happy."
