Medical Science Liaison

Jazz Pharmaceuticals is a global biopharma company whose purpose is to innovate to transform the lives of patients and their families.

We have a diverse portfolio of marketed medicines, including leading therapies for sleep disorders and epilepsy, and a growing portfolio of cancer treatments. Our patient-focused and science-driven approach powers pioneering research and development advancements across our robust pipeline of innovative therapeutics in oncology and neuroscience.

The Medical Science Liaison (MSL) is a member of a field-based team of scientists who function as an extension of the US Medical Affairs organization. MSLs are responsible for developing and enhancing professional relationships with medical thought leaders involved in various phases of product development. MSLs provide medical information through scientific exchange and clinical/scientific support for Jazz Pharmaceuticals and the Medical Affairs department.

This is a field-based position covering Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Missouri, Kansas, Colorado, Nebraska, Iowa, South Dakota, North Dakota, and Minnesota, and requires professionals with established personal and scientific credibility to interact with thought leaders and academic centers of excellence.

While the position is advertised as a Medical Science Liaison role, we welcome applications from candidates with senior-level experience, as we are open to considering the creation of a requisition for individuals with additional expertise if Jazz determines that there is sufficient business need.
