Scientific Communication and Education ● Host, present, or observe at least 12 regional educational programs per quarter targeting high-impact community accounts. ● Lead development of at least one educational initiative per cycle (physician-facing, patient-facing, or via webinar/podcast); complete annual recurrent speaker training. ● Ensure consistent, compliant scientific positioning across field activities; document objection-handling themes and manage escalation to histology-specific Medical Directors where appropriate. Clinical Development Contribution ● Identify and document field-driven evidence generation opportunities; surface at least one histology-specific clinical trial concept per year in collaboration with the CMO and histology Medical Director teams. ● Generate at least 3 actionable regional insights per quarter in quarterly written reports submitted prior to manager review. ● Identify at least 3 qualified KOL collaboration leads per quarter, including IST/RWE prospects, documented in Salesforce. Performs other duties as assigned. ### QUALIFICATIONS Required: ● M.D. or D.O. with board certification in oncology, hematology, or a directly related clinical specialty. ● Minimum 5–8 years of related clinical or medical affairs experience following board certification (HM5 level; equivalent field experience accepted). ● Demonstrated proficiency across multiple tumor histologies and working knowledge of the molecular residual disease (MRD) diagnostic landscape. ● Experience in a field-based medical affairs, clinical development, or medical education role within oncology diagnostics, pharma, or biotech. ● Proven ability to communicate complex clinical data to community oncologist audiences.
