The Vice President of Medical Affairs will create this function, lead it, and sit at the leadership table that makes it happen.

• Team Leadership. Build and lead the Medical Affairs Team, spanning strategy, medical information, scientific communications, field medical/MSLs, and medical education
• KOL Engagement. Lead KOL and investigator engagement, including advisory boards and scientific exchange
• Scientific Training. Lead scientific and technical training across the organization

What You’ll Bring:

This isn’t just a job. It is a mission. Priorities shift. Problems hit fast. Constraints are real. We are looking for those who thrive here, rises to the moment, course-corrects unapologetically, and stay locked on the goal line.

If they want to build something meaningful with a team of superstars and leave everything on the field, they will belong here.

• All in on the mission
• Confident, not arrogant
• Calm under pressure and decisive in critical moments
• Obsessed with outcomes, not status
• Fast to adapt and hard to rattle
