Senior Medical Science Liaison (Oncology)

A leading global healthcare organisation is seeking a Senior Medical Science Liaison specialising in Oncology to join their team in Kuala Lumpur. This field-based role offers you the opportunity to make a meaningful impact by engaging with oncologists and cancer specialists, driving scientific exchange, and contributing to medical initiatives that support patient care and evidence generation.

What you'll do:

As a Senior Medical Science Liaison Oncology based in Kuala Lumpur, you will play a pivotal role in advancing scientific engagement across Malaysia. Your day-to-day responsibilities will involve connecting with key opinion leaders in oncology, facilitating peer-to-peer exchanges of clinical data and emerging evidence. You will gather actionable medical insights from these interactions to inform strategic decisions internally. By organising educational events such as advisory boards or workshops, you will help disseminate critical information that supports both patient care and evidence generation. Your commitment to ethical standards ensures all activities are compliant with regulations. Success in this role requires you to work collaboratively across departments while operating independently in the field—always staying connected with your team for guidance and support.

• Establish, maintain, and deepen trusted scientific relationships with oncologists, cancer specialists, and other relevant healthcare professionals through regular field engagement.
• Deliver accurate, balanced, and non-promotional scientific exchange on disease areas, clinical data, and emerging evidence to inform and educate stakeholders.
• Capture, synthesise, and communicate high-quality medical insights from external engagements to guide strategy, planning, and evidence needs within the organisation.
• Support the planning and execution of advisory boards, medical education programmes, workshops, and congress activities that enhance knowledge sharing.
• Contribute actively to local medical initiatives as well as external collaborations where appropriate to drive improvements in patient care.
• Assist in building internal scientific capability by delivering medical updates and training sessions for colleagues when required.
• Ensure all interactions and materials strictly adhere to legal, regulatory, ethical requirements and organisational standards for compliance.
• Work closely with medical, clinical, regulatory, and commercial colleagues to act as a bridge between external scientific communities and internal teams.
• Help shape local medical strategies by participating in projects that improve patient outcomes through evidence-based approaches.
• Operate independently in the field while maintaining strong connections with the wider medical team for communal support.
