Position Summary:

Praxis is seeking a field-based Medical Science Liaisons (MSL) to support prelaunch and launch activities. This role will focus on building trusted relationships with investigators and key stakeholders, delivering high-quality scientific exchange, and ensuring clinical and account readiness in advance of and following potential approval.

Working cross-functionally with Medical, Clinical Development, and Commercial teams, you will help shape and execute field strategy in a dynamic, fast-moving launch environment.

This is not a passive, reactive role – you are expected to operate with a high degree of ownership, proactively generate insights, and influence the field through credible, science-driven engagement.

We are open to hiring across levels and seek individuals who can operate independently in the field – whether developing into the role or already leading at a high level. Leveling will reflect experience, judgment, and the ability to drive impact in a prelaunch/launch setting.

Success in this role requires strong clinical credibility, excellent communication skills, strategic thinking, and comfort operating autonomously in a fast-paced environment.

Primary Responsibilities:

• Serve as the primary field-based scientific partner to investigators and key stakeholders, building trusted relationships to support prelaunch readiness and successful product adoption.
• Deliver high-quality scientific exchange on disease state, clinical data, and the ulixacaltimide profile, ensuring clear understanding of its potential role in treatment.
• Educate and prepare clinical sites and healthcare providers for launch, including patient identification, treatment considerations, and integration into clinical practice.
• Proactively gather, synthesize, and communicate field insights (e.g., treatment paradigms, barriers to adoption, unmet needs) to inform medical and cross-functional strategy.
• Identify and engage key opinion leaders (KOLs) and emerging influencers, supporting the development of advocacy and scientific engagement strategies.
• Partner cross-functionally with Medical, Clinical Development, Market Access, and Commercial teams to align on and execute field strategy.
• Represent Praxis at scientific congresses and advisory engagements, translating external insights into actionable recommendations.
• Maintain deep expertise in CNS/neurology, including evolving treatment landscapes and competitive developments, and apply insights to field strategy.
• Ensure all field activities are conducted in compliance with regulatory requirements, GCP standards (as applicable), and Praxis policies and SOPs.

Qualifications and Key Success Factors:

• Advanced clinical or scientific degree (PharmD, PhD, MD, NP, PA, or RN)
• Experience in medical affairs, clinical research, clinical care, or field-based roles within biotech/pharma
• Demonstrated ability to interpret and communicate complex scientific and clinical data with clarity and credibility to diverse stakeholders
• Strong ownership mindset with the ability to operate independently, navigate ambiguity, and drive impact in a dynamic, prelaunch/launch environment
• Proven ability to build and maintain trusted relationships with healthcare professionals, including investigators and key opinion leaders
• Experience gathering and translating field insights into actionable recommendations for cross-functional teams
• Ability to manage multiple priorities with strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and consistent follow-through
• Willingness and ability to travel extensively (~60–80%) in a field-based role
• Experience in neurology or CNS disorders preferred
• Experience within market access/payor landscape is preferred
• Candidates with prior field-based experience and a demonstrated track record of independently driving scientific engagement, shaping clinical perspectives, and contributing to successful pre-launch and launch activities will be considered at a higher level.
