Intelligence details

Why this is worth applying to

Worth considering if you are a physician or pharmacist with strong therapeutic-area knowledge and some exposure to industry, research, or KOL work; without a full job description, verify scope, location, and required experience before investing time.

Who should apply

Physicians (including IMGs with strong clinical/scientific backgrounds), clinical pharmacists, and PhD-level health scientists aiming to move into pharmaceutical Medical Affairs; less suitable for early-career clinicians with no research or industry exposure.

CV angle

Reframe real clinical work as scientific expertise: highlight therapeutic-area depth, guideline and literature appraisal, presentation and teaching of clinical data, involvement in audits or trials, and any cross-functional or KOL-facing work — never claim industry experience you do not have.

Skills to highlight

  • therapeutic area clinical expertise
  • scientific literature appraisal
  • medical/scientific presentation and education
  • KOL and stakeholder engagement
  • clinical trial or research experience
  • cross-functional collaboration
  • regulatory and compliance awareness
  • data interpretation and communication
