Why this is worth applying to
Worth considering for oncology clinicians or PharmDs who already have Medical Affairs and HQ/industry experience and want a breast cancer franchise leadership role. It is not realistic for early-career clinicians without pharma exposure.
Who should apply
Oncologists, hematologist-oncologists, or oncology-focused PharmDs/PhD scientists with prior Medical Affairs, HQ medical, or industry experience who can lead cross-functional medical strategy and external expert engagement.
CV angle
Frame real oncology clinical expertise alongside any genuine Medical Affairs, industry, research, or HQ experience. Emphasize KOL/external expert engagement, advisory boards, promotional/medical material review, cross-functional collaboration, HEOR or clinical trial exposure, FDA/compliance awareness, and scientific presentation skills without overstating non-clinical experience.
Skills to highlight
- Oncology Medical Affairs
- Breast cancer scientific strategy
- KOL/external expert engagement
- Promotional and medical material review
- Cross-functional collaboration
- HEOR study support
- FDA/compliance awareness
- Scientific communication and presentation
Role summary
A senior pharma Medical Affairs role leading breast cancer franchise medical strategy, promotional material review, KOL and payer/provider engagement, HEOR support, and cross-functional collaboration with MSLs, clinical account managers, and patient safety.
