Senior Medical Science Liaison, Oncology, International …, Córdoba

Description Role Summary The Senior Medical Science Liaison (MSL) advances the BMS medical mission by building trusted, peer-to-peer scientific partnerships and delivering timely data and actionable insights that support appropriate use of BMS medicines and improve patient care. This is a field-based role. The Senior MSL is expected to spend approximately 80–90% of their time with external stakeholders (e.g., investigators and clinical thought leaders), while maintaining strong therapeutic-area expertise and supporting internal stakeholders. Field time may vary based on asset life cycle, therapeutic area, and geographic scope. Travel is required and may include international travel. The Senior MSL will act as the country field medical lead, engaging clinical investigators and TLs, serving as the therapeutic resource for external and internal stakeholders. A key differentiator of this senior role is a strong focus on clinical trial engagement, including leading investigator relationships, supporting site feasibility, enabling patient recruitment, and facilitating evidence-generation activities in close collaboration with Regional Clinical Operations (RCO). The Senior MSL also develops and executes a territory plan that supports medical education and disease-landscape shaping, aligned with the local Oncology Medical Affairs strategy. This role reports to the Regional Medical Market Lead.
