What we are looking for

This Director role is central to scaling ProcDNA's Medical Affairs practice through independent solutioning, proposal and RFP leadership, and end-to-end delivery ownership. You'll operate with real autonomy — shaping solutions to underdefined problems, driving proposals and engagements forward without needing a fully scripted brief — while knowing when to pull in practice leadership for strategic or high-stakes calls rather than working around them.

What you will do

Independent Solutioning, Proposals & RFPs

• Lead proposal development and RFP responses largely independently — translating an ambiguous client ask into a credible, well-structured Medical Affairs solution, scope, and staffing approach.
• Bring structure and judgment to underdefined problems; take the first pass at solutioning rather than waiting for a fully scoped brief, then validate direction with practice leadership before committing.
• Contribute market and client signal back into how the practice's offerings evolve, in partnership with practice leadership — not as a strategy owner, but as a close-to-the-ground source of what's working and what clients are actually asking for.

Client Delivery & Stakeholder Engagement

• Own delivery of complex, high-visibility Medical Affairs engagements end-to-end, ensuring quality, timeliness, and measurable business impact.
• Build and sustain trusted relationships with senior client stakeholders (typically Director to VP level), managing the day-to-day and strategic cadence of the relationship independently.
• Identify evidence gaps and drive data-led answers to scientific and business questions, applying deep Medical Affairs domain expertise; strong analytical judgment is core to the role, with GenAI/NLP exposure a strong advantage.

Scientific Engagement (Occasional, not core)

• Direct engagement with KOLs, HCPs, or investigators is not an everyday part of this role. Occasional involvement is expected in specific contexts — for example, supporting primary market research, advisory boards, or similar client-facing research activities — but the role is not built around running field medical or investigator relationships.

Business Development

• Own proposal development, solution design, and client presentations as a core, regular part of the role.
• Build pipeline within existing and adjacent accounts by converting delivery credibility and client trust into follow-on and expanded work.

Team Leadership

• Mentor and develop consulting team members, setting the standard for delivery quality, analytical rigor, and client communication.
• Support hiring as the practice grows — interviewing candidates and weighing in on fit — without owning headcount strategy.

How you operate

• Strong sense of agency — takes ownership of ambiguous problems and drives them to resolution without needing to be told each next step.
• Equally comfortable escalating: proactively seeks guidance from practice leadership on strategic, high-stakes, or high-ambiguity decisions rather than guessing or going quiet.

Must Have

• 10–14+ years of relevant experience in Medical Affairs, Medical Science Liaison (MSL), Clinical Research, Pharmaceutical Consulting, or Life Sciences.
• Advanced degree preferred — PharmD, PhD, MD, DNP, MBA, or Master's in Life Sciences, Pharmacy, Medicine, or a related discipline.
• Proven MSL/team leadership — experience leading and developing high-performing teams in a pharmaceutical or life sciences environment.
• Client management experience with VP and C-suite executives, with a track record of successful and continued business development.
• Strong analytical and data-driven mindset — exposure to data analysis is required; GenAI/NLP experience is a strong advantage.
• Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills, with the ability to work independently and influence senior client and internal audiences.
• Willingness to travel to client locations to support client engagements, scientific meetings, and business development initiatives.
