Postgraduate - Marketing

The position is a temporary Marketing Trainee / Postgraduate role supporting the Swiss Oncology Marketing Team at Novartis. Although the contract is administered by Magnit Global, the work will be carried out for Novartis, a worldwide pharmaceutical company that reaches roughly one‑tenth of the global population. The assignment lasts between nine and twelve months, begins in November 2026, and follows a hybrid work model. Day‑to‑day duties involve helping to roll out omnichannel marketing plans for oncology brands covering breast cancer, hematology and prostate cancer. You will assist in coordinating the creation, adaptation and approval of both promotional and non‑promotional assets, working closely with internal teams and external agencies. Monitoring execution data, gathering engagement metrics and summarising insights for the brand teams are also part of the role, as is ensuring every activity complies with internal policies and the Code of Conduct. In addition, you will back cross‑functional tactics and regional projects, liaising with Marketing, Sales, Medical and Access colleagues to keep timelines aligned, maintain project trackers and provide clear status reports to the responsible leads. The employer expects candidates to hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Business Administration, Life Sciences or a comparable field. Fluency in German and English is mandatory, while French is considered an advantage. The role requires a proactive, curious mindset, strong communication and stakeholder‑management abilities, and the capacity to juggle multiple deliverables while remaining detail‑oriented and reliable.
