Medical Science Liaison - Italy

The Regional Medical Science Liaison (MSL) serves as the primary field-based point of contact with healthcare providers (HCPs), including clinical investigators, on a range of clinical and scientific issues. The primary role is to deliver and facilitate medical education, communications, research, and scientific insight gathering activities for the client. This includes providing scientific and medical data on both licensed and unlicensed products and indications, as permitted by local laws and regulations. The MSL will act as a medical representative across a large, complex environment, with flexibility to support other countries as needed.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain, in a self-driven manner, outstanding knowledge of cardiometabolic diseases and related areas, including specialized expertise in rare diseases such as Familial Chylomicronemia Syndrome (FCS) and Severe Hypertriglyceridemia (SHTG), along with comprehensive client and competitor product knowledge.
• Understand and execute the medical strategy and broader business strategy to ensure activities are coordinated with the team and aligned with the overall strategy.
• Serve as an external, credible scientific expert on disease areas and client products at HCP field meetings, key medical and scientific conferences, advisory boards, clinical investigator meetings, and patient advocacy group meetings.
• Identify key field insights related to client products, activities, and disease areas, and ensure these insights are effectively communicated internally, disseminated, and leveraged through collaboration with cross-functional partners.
• Facilitate clear communication between the business and investigators in investigator engagement for both client trials and investigator-sponsored studies, addressing barriers to enrollment for pipeline assets.

Requirements

• Advanced Degree - MD, PhD, PharmD.
• Demonstrable experience in an MSL role, with cardiometabolic or rare disease experience preferred, or experience in endocrinology or lipidology.
• Knowledge of clinical research design and GCP in the cardiology area.
• Strong understanding of clinical research trial design and study analysis, including cost-effectiveness and high-level HEOR evidence approaches.
• Ability to develop trust and maintain integrity with KOLs, external clinical and scientific experts, investigators, HCPs, and institutions, as well as with peers and other stakeholders.
• Ability to convey complex scientific concepts appropriately tailored to the audience, such as affiliate staff and regional/global Medical Affairs leadership.
• A good understanding of the Health Authorities across the region would be advantageous.
