Are you passionate about shaping healthcare policy, strengthening stakeholder partnerships and making the patient voice count? Join Lundbeck and help build trusted relationships that improve access to innovative treatments while strengthening our reputation across the healthcare ecosystem.

Your new role


As Public Affairs & External Relations Manager, you will play a strategic role in advancing Lundbeck's influence, reputation and engagement with external stakeholders. Reporting to the Market Access & Public Affairs Director, you will help shape public affairs strategy, strengthen partnerships with patient organizations and contribute to external communications that reinforce Lundbeck's position as a trusted partner in brain health.

You will collaborate across Medical, Market Access, Communications, Regulatory Affairs, Legal and Compliance while representing Lundbeck externally with public decision-makers, healthcare institutions, patient associations and professional organizations. This is a highly visible role offering the opportunity to influence strategic decisions, lead cross-functional initiatives and make a meaningful impact without direct people management responsibilities.

The position is based in Paris, France.

You will become part of our Market Access & Public Affairs organization, working alongside experienced colleagues who are passionate about improving outcomes for people living with brain disorders.


We foster an open, collaborative and purpose-driven environment where expertise is valued, ideas are welcomed and cross-functional teamwork is essential. You'll work closely with colleagues across the affiliate and international functions, while enjoying the autonomy to build strong external partnerships and drive initiatives that support Lundbeck's long-term ambitions.

What you bring to the team


You are a strategic relationship builder with a strong understanding of healthcare policy and the ability to influence through expertise, credibility and collaboration.

You likely bring:

• A Master's degree in Political Science, Public Health, Pharmacy, Law, Medicine or a related discipline.
• Significant experience in Public Affairs, Corporate Affairs, Institutional Relations or External Communications within the healthcare or pharmaceutical industry.
• Proven experience engaging with public authorities, healthcare stakeholders and patient organizations.
• Strong knowledge of health policy, stakeholder engagement and strategic communications, combined with excellent communication skills in English.

As a person, you are collaborative, intellectually curious and confident navigating complex stakeholder environments. You build trusted relationships, simplify complex topics into clear messages and influence without formal authority. You enjoy leading strategic initiatives, balancing multiple priorities and working in a matrix organization while always keeping patients at the center of your decisions.
