About the Medical Science Liaison Role

GSK Saudi Arabia is seeking a Medical Science Liaison (MSL) to join its medical team. This field-based, non-promotional role focuses on hepatology and is committed to supporting Saudi Vision 2030 and the Saudi Arabian National Agenda, including Saudization and the development of local talent. The MSL will partner with healthcare professionals to promote the safe and effective use of GSK medicines and advance evidence-based care for patients with liver disease. This full-time position is located in Makkah and Jeddah.

Scientific Engagement and Insight Generation

In this role, you will serve as a scientific expert in hepatology, providing fair and balanced clinical and disease-area information to external experts and healthcare professionals (HCPs). You will lead scientific engagements, both one-on-one and in groups, and medical education activities in compliance with GSK policies, Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs), and Saudi regulations. A key aspect of this position involves gathering and communicating high-quality medical insights to inform medical strategy and evidence generation in hepatology. You will also support local evidence generation initiatives, publications, and clinical projects relevant to the field, ensuring all activities adhere to medical governance, pharmacovigilance, and local codes of practice.

Informing Decisions and Supporting Education

You will provide fair, balanced, scientific, and evidence-based information on GSK products and disease areas to internal and external stakeholders. This includes planning and delivering medical education programs, whether GSK-led, collaborative, or supported, in accordance with GSK standards for non-promotional activities and local regulations. Identifying evidence gaps and contributing to the development of local evidence generation plans are also crucial. You will support appropriate access to GSK medicines in collaboration with cross-functional teams, adhering to local access processes and regulations, and may represent the Medical function in engagements with external experts, payers, government bodies, and formulary committees where appropriate and permitted.

Evidence Generation and R&D Support

This role involves identifying local data gaps and proposing evidence generation initiatives that align with medical strategy and available resources. You will support the development, review, and implementation of local evidence generation activities, including obtaining necessary internal approvals and considering budget requirements. Collaboration with internal stakeholders and external partners will drive high-quality local publications and scientific communications. Additionally, you will identify and communicate opportunities to introduce relevant R&D projects to the local operating company, where appropriate.

Medical Governance and Compliance

Ensuring all activities comply with GSK policies, SOPs, global and local codes of practice, and Saudi FDA regulations and laws is paramount. You will act as a key point of contact for assigned therapeutic areas during internal monitoring activities, audits, and inspections. Executing agreed-upon Corrective and Preventive Actions (CAPAs) on time and contributing to the continuous improvement of medical processes are expected. You will also identify, document, and escalate risks related to your assigned therapeutic areas, supporting the development and implementation of mitigation plans.

Qualifications and Experience

A valid license from the Saudi Commission for Health Specialties (SCFHS) is mandatory.
