Medical Representative CV template for pharma, biotech and CRO jobs
A sample Medical Representative CV, built on the layout I use for my own CV and for clients. The person, the employers and every number in it are invented, so treat each line as a prompt and replace it with your own evidence. You get it in English and in German, as Word and PDF.
Made by Andreas Schulz, MoreThanCareer.de: 17 years in recruitment, 14 of them in pharma and CRO environments at Bayer, ICON and Syneos Health. Free for your own CV. If you share the template, please keep the credit line in the footer. Checked every quarter, next review planned for February 2027.
What a Hiring Manager checks in a Medical Representative CV
- Target achievement in percent and your ranking, every year you have the number.
- Therapy areas, customer groups and territory size.
- Your legal qualification to speak to healthcare professionals. In Germany that is the Sachkenntnis under § 75 AMG, explained in the statutory roles chart.
- CRM and omnichannel tools, because field teams now work with digital follow-ups.
- Compliance and pharmacovigilance reporting, in one line. Employers check it.
Keywords that belong in it
Use the ones that are true for you, in the words the job ad uses: target achievement, territory management, key account management, Veeva CRM, KOL, specialty care, hospital, omnichannel, compliance, product launch.
How the template is built
Target role above the name, a short profile, career highlights with numbers before the experience, role title and dates on one line, employer and location on the next, and competencies as a keyword line at the end. The reasoning behind each part is on the pharma CV template page. If your target is a German employer, read how your Arbeitszeugnis will be compared with your CV in the Arbeitszeugnis decoder.
Frequently asked questions
What should a pharma sales CV show first?
Target achievement and ranking. A Sales Manager reads those numbers before anything else.
Do I need a qualification to work as a medical representative in Germany?
Yes. German medicines law requires the Sachkenntnis under § 75 AMG, for example through the Chamber of Industry and Commerce exam or certain degrees and trainings. The statutory roles chart on this site lists the route.
