Our Early in Career Development Programme accelerates your growth to directly impact patients' lives. Start your career with a UK market leader in biotechnology, recognised as the #1 Best Big Company to Work For (2021) and dedicated to equity, diversity, and inclusion.

The Opportunity: 

The Vision of the Access and Innovation team is to help people live longer, healthier lives by collaborating internally and partnering externally to enable wide-scale adoption of sustainable innovations into the health systems. We do this via 3 strategic pillars;

• Effective system engagement
• Accelerate the commercialisation of high medical value (HMV) solutions
• Lead with Scientific Excellence

The Medical affairs team has a key role in this, empowering healthcare professionals and improving patients’ lives by leading evidence generation, scientific engagement and medical education to enable the adoption of our HMV solutions

As a Medical Affairs Graduate, you will have an impact by supporting the synthesis of clinical evidence, the creation of high-impact medical education, and the delivery of scientific engagement strategies across our HMV solution portfolio.

Key responsibilities  

• Evidence generation and literature review: Perform literature searches, critically evaluate scientific publications, and assist in synthesising clinical evidence to support publication plans and HMV value propositions
• Medical education and content development: Assist in drafting, updating, and reviewing balanced, high-quality educational materials, training modules, and clinical slide decks for healthcare professionals and internal teams.
• Scientific engagement and event support: Support the execution of medical congresses, advisory boards, and scientific meetings by drafting speaker briefings, preparing presentation assets, and capturing actionable clinical insights.
• Medical information and scientific enquiries: Draft timely, compliant, and evidence-based responses to technical and clinical inquiries from healthcare professionals.
• Cross-functional scientific alignment: Collaborate with cross-functional partners—including Clinical, Commercial, and Regulatory teams—to ensure scientific accuracy and alignment across all Medical Affairs projects and product deliverables.
