Thinking of a sci comms MSL job here? Think again - Medical Science Liaison Binding Site Employee Review

Thanks for sharing your thoughts around the role and that the description of the role and your expectations did not align. We will take this on board and ensure we carefully review future roles to ensure that the job description adequately reflects the requirements of the role. As an IVD company, we pride ourselves on being driven by the science and our MSL roles may have some different responsibilities to MSL positions in pharmaceutical companies. As scientific experts, our MSLs are critical to the success of the company and their in-depth understanding of the products and associated disease states positions them as essential contributors to internal activities such as product performance evaluations. External interactions are also fundamental to the company’s success. We work closely with leading medical institutions around the world, an example being the recent collaboration with the University of Birmingham on the development of a COVID-19 antibody test. As an MSL you would be responsible for exploring new product applications, identifying opportunities for collaboration and building external KOL networks to expand new product applications is a key responsibility of the role and we are sorry to hear that your KOL interactions did not meet your expectations in the short time you were with us. We appreciate feedback from employees regarding our policies and this can be discussed with their manager, Director, HR or their employee forum representative. Our current policy allows Time off in Lieu for working and travelling at the weekend. and we are aware that our Time off in Lieu policy was clarified and resolved with you before you left.
