Medical Advisor (Singapore, Singapore, SG)
About this opportunity
Your impact begins here
As Medical Advisor, you will bring medical and scientific expertise to drive scientific communication and medical education, oversee clinical and real-world evidence (RWE) plans across Singapore and Brunei. You will turn evidence and patient insight into credible, useful engagement with healthcare professionals, and into publications and education that put that evidence to work. Your impact will show in stronger scientific exchange and better support for people living with serious chronic diseases.
What you’ll bring
A medical degree (MD) or an advanced degree (PhD, PharmD) in a relevant life sciences field.
Minimum 3–5 years of experience in Medical Affairs or a related field within the pharmaceutical or healthcare industry.
Proven expertise in scientific communication, KOL engagement and medical education.
The ability to analyse complex clinical and RWE data and turn it into accurate, evidence-based insight for different audiences.
Strong understanding of regulatory guidelines and ethical standards, with the integrity to apply them in every medical activity and communication.
Strong stakeholder and relationship-building skills, and the ability to influence and align cross-functional teams.
Field engagement experience
What you’ll do
You will be the medical and scientific voice for Novo in Singapore and Brunei, shaping the evidence we generate, how we share it and how healthcare professionals learn from it.
Define and deliver scientific communication strategies and publication plans, including RWE publications and content for symposia, meetings and digital channels.
Build and maintain relationships with Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs), Digital Opinion Leaders (DOLs), healthcare professionals (HCPs) and International Professional Associations (IPAs), engaging with them in the field.
Lead medical education for internal teams and external audiences, including advisory boards, multidisciplinary sessions, CMEs, speakerships, workshops and public or consumer-focused education.
Guide clinical trial design and RWE plans, bringing in patient insights and advisory board feedback so the science stays grounded in real life.
Drive omnichannel activation across medical projects to widen HCP reach through digital channels and content.
Make sure every activity and communication meets internal and external regulatory, ethical and quality standards.

Who you’ll work with
You will be part of the Medical Affairs team, where colleagues connect commercial strategy, medical affairs and business development to guide the Novo portfolio and strengthen competitiveness. You will report to Head of Medical and Regulatory Affairs.
Inside Novo, your closest partners will be the commercial and regulatory teams and the BASEA and APAC regions. Outside Novo, you will work with specialty KOLs, DOLs, HCPs, disease societies, the Ministry of Health and the Health Promotion Board.
Your scope covers Singapore and Brunei. You will represent Novo in scientific meetings, symposia and advisory boards, and bring different perspectives together so decisions are clear and work moves at pace.
What you can expect here
You will have real ownership. You will have independence in defining and carrying out scientific communication strategies, and your medical judgement will shape clinical trial designs, RWE plans and publication strategies. You will be trusted to perform and encouraged to make your voice heard.
The role invites you to try new approaches, from integrating the patient voice into advisory boards to interactive symposia, digital learning platforms and new technologies that speed up publication planning. You will grow through curiosity, cross-functional experience and collaboration across the country, region and APAC.

How we calculate "similar"
No black box, no LLM guesswork: a deterministic score built from four normalized attributes. Here's this role's own peer group at different match levels, so you can see the mechanism, not just the result.
Every comparison starts from the same 100-point budget: 25 for working in the same function, 40 for the same therapeutic area, 20 for the same or adjacent seniority, 15 for the same country. A dimension we can't confirm on both sides contributes nothing, never a guess, never a free pass.
0 points, never a partial guess. A role we know almost nothing about beyond its function bottoms out at 25%; it never inflates to 100% just because there's little to compare against. Seniority uses a defined ladder (Associate → Manager → Associate Director → Senior → Principal → Director → Senior Director → Executive/VP) so "Director" and "Senior Director" count as adjacent, but "Director" and "Executive/VP" do not.
