Associate Director- Medical Science Liaison (Rheumatology: CA, NV, OR, WA, AK, HI) 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 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 the landscape within the therapeutic areas they represent. 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 and commercialization. By facilitating scientific exchange between industry and the scientific community, MSLs have the opportunity to shape the future of healthcare by providing needed information that addresses important clinical and scientific questions.

Responsibilities:

Scientific knowledge

MSLs will be required to engage in continuous learning to maintain the highest level of technical expertise within the therapeutic area they represent. This will enable the MSLs engagement in scientific exchange to respond to the diverse medical information needs based on customer requests.

Customer engagement

MSLs will spend the majority of their time on customer facing activities. Through the application of emotional intelligence, strategic thinking and a deep understanding of their customers, MSLs will act as one of the primary interfaces between Lilly medical and SEs/CEs to deliver a positive customer experience and utilize MSL capabilities that enhance customer engagement. Additionally, MSLs connect SEs/CEs with other Lilly resources or internal business partners as appropriate and facilitate collaborative research and external opportunities.

Territory ownership

MSLs will be expected to demonstrate strategic analysis, planning, and prioritization to maximize efficiency. They will implement and evaluate a strategic territory plan prioritizing core MSL activities and take personal accountability for results. There is also an expectation for compliant partnerships across all Lilly field roles sharing customers to create an appropriately coordinated experience. MSL will effectively utilize territory analytics for customer identification and routing prioritization.

Strategic vision and leadership

MSLs effectively synthesize and communicate actionable customer/clinical insights to internal Lilly medical and cross functional teams. MSLs use good judgement in decision-making and escalate issues as appropriate. They cultivate internal networks and collaborate effectively across functions including working closely with other field-based colleagues. They embrace change, exercise strategic agility with evolving business needs and utilize innovative resources.

MSLs should demonstrate the Team Lilly Behaviors (Include, Innovate, Accelerate, and Deliver) at all times in their work with peers and other Lilly colleagues. Within their own team, MSLs are expected to contribute to team goals and be an effective teammate. The MSL will execute the role in a compliant manner, adhering to all governing internal and external requirements, procedures, and laws, demonstrating good judgement at all times.

Minimum Requirements:
  • Advanced degree in health sciences (e.g., PharmD, MD, PhD in a medically related field) required with 2-3 years of relevant clinical or therapeutic area experience desired.
