Bring Products to Market that Meet Customer Needs
At Baxter, marketing is responsible for determining the needs of the marketplace, communicating them back to the organization, and then delivering products and services to meet those needs. The marketing function is involved in just about every aspect of the business – from market research and competitive intelligence, to research and development (R&D) and clinical trials, to product launches, pricing, advertising and promotion, and post-market surveillance. Customers not only include medical professionals, but patients, payers, governments, purchasing groups and others involved in the global delivery of healthcare.
A Rewarding Career
A career in marketing at Baxter can be a rewarding experience. It offers an opportunity to work closely with a range of customers, and perhaps most rewarding, the opportunity to meet patients who benefit from Baxter’s products, and to help bring new and better products to market that will save, sustain or improve the quality of their lives. Few industries provide a more enriching and fulfilling experience for marketing professionals than healthcare.
A Range of Opportunities
As a global, diversified healthcare company, Baxter applies a unique combination of expertise in medical devices, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology to create products that advance patient care worldwide.
