Ready to step into a role where science meets strategy—and where your voice truly matters?
 
We're looking for someone with a strong scientific foundation who's curious, coachable, and thrives on connecting complex data to real-world outcomes. You'll join a high-performing, collaborative medical affairs team working across chronic disease and cardiometabolic health—helping translate science into meaningful clinical conversations.
 
Location:
Christchurch based
 
About the Role:
Based in Christchurch, this role is focused where you'll partner with a highly experienced MSL who is based in Auckland to support medical education, evidence generation, and strategic insights across New Zealand.
 
You'll engage with healthcare professionals across both islands and occasionally in Australia, so being comfortable with travel (approximately 60% of the time, including overnights) is key.  And also frequent trips to Australia.
 
What You'll Do:

• Build trusted scientific partnerships with specialists, GPs, nurses, and decision-makers
• Translate complex medical information into clear, actionable insights
• Support clinical education and engagement initiatives across New Zealand
• Contribute to real-world evidence and data interpretation
• Stay up to date with evolving research and therapeutic advances

 
What You'll Bring:

• A strong scientific background—ideally in life sciences, pharmacy, or biomedical sciences
• Ability to simplify and communicate complex concepts with clarity and impact
• A natural curiosity and willingness to learn from experienced peers
• Strong relationship-building skills and professional presence
• If you have a background in research or clinical research, that will be a distinct advantage
• Flexibility and enthusiasm for travel across NZ and to Australia (approx. 60% including overnights)
• You'll have access to excellent training and ongoing support to ensure you become an expert in your therapy area and set up for success

You don't need to have been an MSL before—if you're scientifically minded, quick to learn, and passionate about bringing science to life in the field, this could be your next big step.
 
Please Note: Only candidates who have the legal right to work in New Zealand citizenship or resident  will be considered for this role. Due to the high volume of applications, we kindly ask for your understanding that we will only be able to respond to those who meet the necessary eligibility criteria.
