Job Summary

With rapid NHS momentum and national adoption accelerating, Cyted is looking for a confident and credible Medical Science Liaison (MSL) to bring our clinical value to life across the UK.

This is a role for someone who knows the NHS inside out. Someone who understands how clinicians think, how pathways operate, and how to build meaningful partnerships within a complex system. You’ll be working at the intersection of clinical engagement, scientific communication, and strategic rollout, supporting the growth of EndoSign, our non‑invasive test that’s already transforming care for thousands of patients.

As MSL, you’ll be a trusted partner to NHS KOLs, GI specialists, and primary care leaders, championing the evidence behind our technology and supporting its real‑world use. You’ll be the eyes and ears of the field, bringing clinical insight and frontline perspective into Cyted, collaborating with our Medical, Clinical, and Commercial teams to shape strategy and drive impact.

We’re looking for someone who can hit the ground running, connect confidently across generations and clinical backgrounds, and navigate both boardroom discussions and hospital corridors with ease. You'll play a key role in scaling innovation within the NHS while being embedded in a dynamic, mission‑driven private company. If you’re ready to step into a role where your credibility, curiosity, and connections directly affect how quickly patients access earlier, better diagnostics – shaping the future of cancer detection in the UK – we'd love to hear from you.

Working Pattern and Location

The role is a full‑time position with a standard 37.5 hour working week. The role holder may be required to work flexibly. This is primarily a remote based role, but you will be required to visit customers frequently and our base in Cambridge when required.

What You Will Be Doing

Champion Our Science in the Field

• Be the clinical face of Cyted across NHS sites, building trusted relationships with early adopters, influencers, and decision‑makers in gastroenterology, oncology, and primary care.
• Actively support regional rollouts, pilots, and pathway integrations, helping clinical teams adopt our technology with confidence.
• Communicate the science clearly and credibly to a wide range of audiences, from consultants and nurses to pathway leads and commissioning stakeholders.
• Work in step with our commercial team to ensure consistency in how our evidence and clinical impact are presented.

Deliver Clinical Education

• Lead effective and engaging clinical training sessions, workshops, and briefings across NHS partners and teams.
• Co‑create educational content, scientific materials, and field FAQs in partnership with our Medical Director.
• Represent Cyted at advisory boards, NHS innovation events, and relevant scientific forums, both online and in person.

Fuel Clinical Momentum

• Support real‑world data collection, outcomes research, and evidence‑generation initiatives across the NHS.
• Identify opportunities for local collaborations, case studies, or investigator‑led research that strengthen clinical advocacy.
• Contribute to publications, abstracts, conference submissions and clinical storytelling that reinforce Cyted’s value and voice.

Bridge Insight Back Into the Business

• Bring real‑world NHS insights directly into our product, operations, and commercial strategy.
• Work closely with Market Access and Health Economics to align messaging around outcomes, value, and adoption.
• Support onboarding of new team members by building scalable tools and sharing field‑level medical knowledge.

Stay Ahead of the Curve

• Track NHS policy shifts, commissioning trends, and clinical service changes and help us adapt quickly.
• Stay up to date with research in GI diagnostics and early cancer detection, translating that knowledge into action.
• Help Cyted remain clinically relevant, responsive, and impactful in every conversation, every site visit, and every decision we make.

How We Work

At Cyted, how we work is just as important as what we’re building. Our values shape how we grow, collaborate, and show up for patients and partners. As our Medical Science Liaison, you’ll bring these values to life from day one.

We care deeply about the patients we serve, the clinicians we support, and the NHS system we’re helping to evolve. In this role, care means meeting people where they are – whether that’s a consultant balancing 15‑minute slots or a commissioner weighing pathway impact. You’ll bring empathy, clarity, and respect to every interaction, building trust by understanding what really matters to those delivering care on the ground.

We expect you to own your role with confidence and credibility. You’ll be responsible for building and managing key clinical relationships across the country – from early conversations to long‑term partnerships. You’ll take initiative, move with purpose, and know when to lead from the front.

We aim high. We’re scaling fast, and the NHS landscape is complex, but we’re not here to follow. You’ll be trusted to set bold engagement goals, create clinical confidence in our technology, and help define what great looks like in a new category of diagnostics. Your NHS insight, stakeholder knowledge, and field presence will help set the bar.

You’ll be expected to dive deep – into the science, the product, the workflow, and the people. You’ll understand the technical and clinical nuance behind our offering, and you’ll be just as comfortable explaining the data as you are listening to challenges from a GP, a GI specialist, or a CCG lead. You won’t pass along questions, you’ll proactively anticipate and answer them.

We encourage everyone to challenge and commit. You’ll be part of shaping how we work, what we prioritise, and how we grow. That means speaking up, questioning assumptions, and being open to better ways, but once we choose a path, you’ll go all‑in. You’ll lead with clarity, alignment, and confidence.

And most of all, we deliver. This is a role that requires energy, urgency, and real‑world progress. You’ll bring our clinical story to life, support confident adoption, and help remove friction from the system. Every meeting you run, insight you share, and relationship you build will move us closer to earlier, better care for patients across the UK.

This is how we work at Cyted, and if this sounds like the environment where you’ll do your best work, we’d love to speak with you.

Person Specification

We’re looking for a confident, knowledgeable Medical Science Liaison who’s ready to hit the ground running and help scale our clinical engagement across the NHS. The ideal candidate will bring deep familiarity with the UK healthcare landscape, strong existing relationships with clinicians and key stakeholders, and the credibility to navigate both strategic conversations and practical frontline needs. You’ll be hands‑on, adaptable, and motivated to build from the ground up in a fast‑moving, purpose‑driven environment.
