Strong written and verbal communication and presentation skills, with the ability to turn complex data into clear, useful insights for different audiences.

Strategic and analytical thinking, an understanding of the business environment, and the ability to work with large volumes of data.

Ethical judgement and integrity, and the ability to build relationships with internal and external stakeholders.

Useful, but not essential

Provide medical and scientific support, including insights from key opinion leaders, to shape the local medical and marketing strategy and tactics.

Contribute to clinical evidence generation, including feasibility and site selection, local investigator meetings and non-interventional studies where needed.

Review promotional and educational materials for scientific accuracy, safety and off-label information, and select and brief speakers for medical events.

Support better care pathways by identifying guideline gaps and unmet needs, engaging with those involved in guideline development, and supporting patient activation and referral pathway initiatives.

Build organisational readiness by presenting medical updates, training the field force and onboarding new colleagues.

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.

Unmatched or unknown dimensions score exactly the same: 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.
