Job Details

Lilly is a global healthcare leader headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. We are committed to making life better for people around the world by discovering and bringing life-changing medicines to those who need them. Our employees work together to improve the understanding and management of disease, and give back to our communities through philanthropy and volunteerism. We are looking for individuals who are passionate about delivering on our company purpose and eager to be part of a growing new therapeutic MSL team from the ground up.

Role Overview

We are continuing the expansion of our Gastroenterology MSL team, providing an exciting opportunity to help build an MSL team in a new therapeutic area for Lilly. This role will involve building new relationships with external experts as our GI development program continues to progress. You will work closely with the global and U.S. development teams as well as our Medical Affairs team in support of Lilly's development activities. This is a dynamic role and will continue to evolve.

Purpose:

Scientific Experts (SEs) are individuals who are noted for their expertise in a therapeutic area and require in-depth and groundbreaking information. The Medical Science Liaison (MSL) program is designed to meet these needs through a field-based group of medical professionals with deep content knowledge about specific disease states, Lilly and competitor compounds, and current issues in the therapeutic areas they represent. MSLs recognize and communicate feedback and insights of strategic importance from their interactions with SEs, to better inform Lilly's strategic direction for Medical Affairs, research, and commercialization.

Responsibilities:

As a Medical Science Liaison, you will be responsible for maintaining and effectively communicating deep scientific knowledge. You will participate in continuous learning to maintain the highest level of technical expertise within the therapeutic area you represent. This will enable you to answer deep scientific questions and be sought after by customers based on peer-credible knowledge and expertise. You will establish yourself as a reliable, trusted, resource of unbiased, accurate, and up-to-date knowledge requested and desired by your customers.

You will excel at customer engagement and support medical/scientific information needs of scientific experts. This is a customer-facing role, and you will spend most of your time engaging with customers in mutually beneficial 2-way dialogues. Through the application of EQ emotional intelligence and a deep understanding of your customers, you will act as one of the primary interfaces between Lilly and scientific experts to deliver best-in-class customer experiences. You will answer customer questions by providing deep and advanced disease state and product information. Additionally, you will connect SEs with other Lilly resources or internal business partners as appropriate and identify possible collaborative research or external collaborations.

You will have a strategic vision and leadership role, synthesizing complex data and expertly communicating meaningful clinical insights and unanswered customer questions you receive from SEs to Lilly Medical and cross-functional teams. You will use creative problem-solving skills and partner with internal resources effectively to deliver solutions. You will use a principle-based decision-making approach to make decisions independently or escalate them appropriately. You will cultivate internal networks and collaborate effectively across functions with an active contribution to medical planning and strategy in the affiliate.

You will have territory ownership, demonstrating strategic analysis, planning, and prioritization skills to improve efficiency. You will implement and evaluate a strategic territory plan, prioritizing core MSL activity and take personal accountability for results. You will execute the role in a compliant manner, adhering to all governing internal and external requirements, procedures, and laws, always demonstrating good judgment.

Minimum Requirements:

Advanced degree in health sciences (PharmD, MD, PhD in a medically related field) required with 2-3 years of relevant clinical or therapeutic area experience preferred. A Master's or bachelor's level degree in health sciences (e.g. BSN, RPh, PA, or NP) will be considered with 5 or more years if clinical, research, or industry (medical/scientific role) experience in a relevant therapeutic area. Qualified candidates must be legally authorized to be employed in the United States. Lilly does not anticipate providing sponsorship for employment visa status (e.g., H-1B or TN status) for this employment position.

Other Information/Additional Preferences:
