- Establish and maintain strong, long-term relationships with external stakeholders including KOLs, healthcare professionals, and key institutions
- Deliver high-quality scientific exchange tailored to stakeholder needs through both in-person and digital channels
- Support and lead activities such as advisory boards, medical events, and congress engagements
- Collaborate closely with internal stakeholders (e.g., Medical Affairs, Clinical Development, Market Access) to align on strategy and execution
- Contribute to clinical trial activities, including site support and stakeholder engagement
- Support evidence generation initiatives such as investigator-initiated studies, observational studies, and real-world data projects
- Identify opportunities to address unmet medical needs and improve patient outcomes
🔹 Why This Role?
- Opportunity to work on a high-priority disease area with significant unmet need
- Exposure to pipeline and upcoming product launches
- Strong collaboration with global teams and cross-functional stakeholders
- Role scope that goes beyond traditional MSL, with real impact on strategy
- Environment that encourages scientific leadership, autonomy, and innovation
