Why this is worth applying to
Worth considering only if you already have substantial industry medical affairs or vaccines experience plus an advanced clinical/scientific degree; pure clinicians without industry exposure are unlikely to be competitive at Head level.
Who should apply
Senior medical affairs professionals with vaccine or infectious disease portfolios, physician-scientists with industry leadership tenure, and PharmD/MD candidates who have progressed through medical science liaison, medical strategy, or evidence-generation roles.
CV angle
Frame infectious disease and immunisation expertise as scientific leadership: quantify evidence-generation or publication outputs, KOL/stakeholder engagement, cross-functional work with regulatory, pharmacovigilance and commercial partners, and any governance or compliance ownership — never overstate industry experience you do not have.
Skills to highlight
- Vaccine and infectious disease scientific expertise
- Medical strategy and evidence generation
- KOL and external expert engagement
- Cross-functional leadership with regulatory, safety and commercial teams
- Medical governance and compliance
- Scientific communication and publications
- Team leadership and talent development
