French term or phrase: Médecin Produit
Hi there -

I am wondering how to render this sales rep position title into an English equivalent...

The context probably does not help much but here it is:
In talking about recent promotions in his department a sales rep said the following:
"Dans un autre registre un visiteur médical a évoluer au poste de Médecin Produit."

Thanks for any suggestions!

Explanation:
IMO depends on how high the promotion is from the rest of your context. I think it's a leap too far to say "manager" unless it's mentioned in text that he is. If they are a rep, leave it like that but the next step up would be Regional Director and then Director. Or Medical Products Marketing Manager if they have got major promotion to the top job in that department

medical product specialist


Explanation:
I used to work for a French multinational pharmaceutical company, Sanofi-Aventis, which hires sales force executives on an entry-level and calls them "medical representatives" (visiteur medical).
Their first availble promotion was to " product specialist", still on sales but with more marketing and medical-like responsibilities.

Therefore, I will suggest : Medical Product Specialist.

I agree with the above comment that mangerial positions clearly state the term "manager"
