Job Description

The Scientific Engagement Partner (Oncology & Neuroscience) is a senior field-based medical generalist responsible for the high-quality execution of globally and regionally defined medical strategies and tactics across Oncology and Neuroscience. The role focuses on scientific excellence, PKAP-aligned field engagement, and the delivery of compliant, non-promotional medical activities that strengthen Jazz’s scientific positioning and support the evidence-based use of medicines. As a senior individual contributor, the Scientific Engagement

Partner applies advanced scientific expertise, independent judgment, and accountability to drive high-impact medical execution. The role serves as a trusted scientific authority and escalation point, guiding engagement quality, managing risk, and influencing regional and global medical decision-making.

The Scientific Engagement Partner delivers high‑quality scientific exchange with healthcare professionals and external experts; supports medical education initiatives, scientific meetings, and congress activities; and

systematically gathers, synthesises, and communicates actionable medical insights to regional and global teams to inform strategy, evidence priorities, and execution refinement. The role works in close partnership with the regional medical organization to ensure alignment, consistency, and impact of execution.

This is a non‑promotional, individual contributor role with a clear execution mandate. Evidence generation activities are limited to support of regionally or globally led, multi‑country initiatives (e.g., insight contribution, protocol or publication support); there are no local clinical trial operations, as all trial activities are managed by global R&D teams. External policy engagement and national medical governance representation are out of scope, with such activities led by regional or global medical teams.

The Scientific Engagement Partner supports Portfolio Key Account Partner (PKAP) execution by integrating field medical activities with broader account, territory, and ecosystem plans, contributing to joined‑up customer engagement while maintaining clear medical independence and compliance.

The role reports into Country Medical Execution Lead for medical strategy, scientific alignment, and subject matter expertise, and operationally into the Country Field Team Lead for day-to-day field execution, account planning, and Key Account Excellence (KAE) alignment. The Field Team Lead is accountable for coaching, development, and capability building to ensure execution excellence.
