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.

Primary Responsibilities: This job description is intended to provide a general overview of the job requirements at the time it was prepared. The job requirements of any position may change over time and may include additional responsibilities not specifically described in the job description. Consult with your supervisor regarding your actual job responsibilities and any related duties that may be required for the position.

Scientific & clinical knowledge

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 require 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.

Full spectrum SE/CE support

Through the application of emotional intelligence, strategic thinking, and a deep understanding of HCP needs, MSLs will act as one of the primary interfaces between Lilly Medical and SEs/CEs to deliver a positive experience and utilize MSL capabilities to support HCPs in sharing evidence and addressing clinical care gaps for improved patient outcomes. Additionally, MSLs connect SEs/CEs with other Lilly resources or internal business partners as appropriate and facilitate collaborative research opportunities. MSLs partner with clinical development in support of studies and investigators to accelerate the pipeline and evidence generation by delivering disease state and other scientific information aligned with site identification, selection, and recruitment.

Field Execution, Geo Management and Productivity

MSLs effectively analyze customer data, plan, and prioritize to engage assigned SEs/CEs most effectively through a combination of face-to-face and virtual engagement with an enterprise mindset. They will implement a strategic territory plan prioritizing core MSL activities, leverage analytical and supporting tools to execute it, and assume personal accountability for meeting performance expectations. 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 utilizing innovative resources.

MSLs should work collaboratively 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 compliantly, adhering to all governing internal and external requirements, procedures, and laws, demonstrating good judgment.
