Participating in regional and national scientific congresses and professional society meetings
Collaborating closely with Medical Affairs, Clinical Development, Commercial, and Market Access teams
Supporting clinical trial activities and broader medical strategy initiatives
What We're Looking For
OD, MD, PharmD, or PhD required

Ophthalmology or eye care expertise preferred
Candidates with significant clinical eye care experience and industry exposure will also be considered
Exceptional communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills
Ability to translate complex scientific information into meaningful discussions
Strong strategic thinking and insight-gathering capabilities
Self-motivated, collaborative, and comfortable working independently in a field-based role
Territory
