Employment Type : Full-Time

Over 108,000! That’s how many US patients Novartis Oncology products touched in 2019. And while we’re proud of that, in this world of digital and technological transformation, we also ask ourselves this: how can we continue to improve and extend even more people’s lives?

The MSL is a field based, non-promotional medical and scientific role. The MSL’s key objective is to engage scientifically with HCPs and medical experts in their territory to carry out the relevant Integrated Medical Team strategic and tactical plan. MSLS must demonstrate deep therapeutic expertise, understand territory/market influences, collaborate effectively with cross-functional colleagues, and execute all relevant activities in alignment with the Novartis Code of Conduct, Ethics/Compliance policies and Working Practice documents.

MSLs on the Novartis Cell and Gene field medical team engage with and support external Healthcare Professionals treating patients with cellular and genetic therapies with a focus on CAR-T.

This territory will be responsible for covering IL, MO, AR, LA and MS. The preferred location for the successful candidate to reside would be in the Greater Chicago, IL Metro Area.

• Customer engagements may include but not be limited to:

o Emerging data discussions
o Exploration of areas of unmet medical need
o Clinical trial activities and pipeline discussions

• Responsible for establishing relationships and engaging in peer to peer level scientific discussions around emerging data, treatment guidelines, molecular pathways, mechanism of action (MOA) of Novartis products including molecular testing and diagnostics, clinical outcomes and research opportunities.
• Implementing scientific and educational strategies in collaboration with colleagues from Medical Affairs and Clinical Operations to support Novartis-sponsored trials, investigator initiated research, and educational initiatives;
• Work to pair our key customer's educational and research needs with available Novartis resources aligned with Novartis strategy

This role is field based – with the expectation that the MSL will be in the field and customer facing (virtual or face-to-face) the majority of the time to achieve performance/business objectives (up to 75-80%).
