At Lilly, we unite caring with discovery to make life better for people around the world. We are a global healthcare leader headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana.

We give our best effort to our work, and we put people first. We’re looking for people who are determined to make life better for people around the world.

Purpose:

Scientific and Clinical Experts (SEs/CEs) are individuals who are noted for their expertise in a therapeutic area and as a result have special needs for in-depth and cutting-edge scientific information, because they treat patients, design and implement novel research, and educate colleagues and students. The Medical Science Liaison (MSL) program is specifically designed to meet these needs through a field-based group of medical professionals with deep content knowledge about specific disease states, Lilly and competitive compounds and landscape in their respective therapeutic areas. MSLs recognize and communicate feedback and insights of strategic importance from their interactions with SEs and CEs, to better inform Lilly’s strategic direction for research, development, and commercialization. By facilitating scientific exchange between industry and the scientific and clinical communities, MSLs shape the future of healthcare by providing the required information that addresses important clinical and scientific questions.

An MSL’s objective is to provide leading researchers and practitioners with the scientific and clinical knowledge that is most meaningfully and precisely addresses their needs (e.g., addressing clinical care gaps for their patients, clarifying nuanced clinical or research questions). This role requires efficient and precise synthesis of the latest research on products, disease states and standard of care for specific indications and therapeutic areas (TAs). Such a skillset and the underlying depth of expertise is typically acquired through substantial research experience or clinical training and requires continuous learning to maintain the highest level of technical expertise within a given TA. This continuous learning will enable the MSLs engagement in scientific exchange to respond to the diverse medical information needs based on customer requests. As a result, the MSL will establish themself as a reliable, trusted, resource of unbiased, accurate, up-to-date, medical and scientific information.
