Job description
We are a specialty vaccine company that develops, manufactures, and commercializes prophylactic vaccines for infectious diseases addressing unmet medical needs.

The Senior Medical Science Liaison (MSL), Eastern Territory, is a senior field medical role responsible for scientific engagement with external stakeholders across the Eastern United States. The role serves as a credible, accessible scientific partner to healthcare professionals, key external experts, researchers, public-health leaders, and healthcare-system decision-makers.
Lead the development and execution of a territory-specific medical strategy for the Eastern U.S., prioritizing scientific engagement, evidence needs, and stakeholder impact.
Establish long-term peer-to-peer partnerships with leading infectious-disease physicians, travel-medicine specialists, vaccinologists, epidemiologists, academic centers, public-health professionals, and other relevant stakeholders.
Conduct proactive and responsive scientific exchange on disease epidemiology, preventive-vaccine science, clinical development, efficacy, safety, and real-world evidence.
Provide balanced and accurate scientific responses to unsolicited requests for medical information, within approved policies and applicable regulations.
Systematically capture, synthesize, and communicate external insights that may inform medical strategy, evidence generation, educational initiatives, clinical development, and access planning.
Identify research opportunities, potential investigators, and qualified study sites; collaborate with internal partners to support research feasibility and execution.
Support compliant medical education, advisory boards, scientific congress engagement, and other field-medical initiatives.
Serve as an internal scientific resource on the Eastern regional landscape, including emerging evidence, clinical-practice variation, stakeholder priorities, and public-health dynamics.
Collaborate constructively with cross-functional colleagues while maintaining the scientific independence, compliance standards, and non-promotional character of Medical Affairs.
Support internal scientific training and provide expert input into medical-review, planning, and launch-readiness activities as appropriate.
Maintain current knowledge of peer-reviewed literature, clinical guidelines, vaccine-policy developments, and the infectious-disease landscape.
Recognize, document, and promptly report adverse events, product complaints, and other reportable safety information.

Three or more years of field medical/MSL experience preferred, with demonstrated success managing complex scientific stakeholder networks.
Experience discussing clinical evidence with sophisticated external experts and explaining study design, endpoints, limitations, safety data, and real-world relevance.
Expertise in vaccines, infectious diseases, epidemiology, travel medicine, immunization policy, or a related therapeutic area.
Strong ability to work autonomously, prioritize strategically, manage a geographically broad territory, and operate effectively in a matrix organization.
