The Opportunity

xCures is seeking an experienced, analytical, and driven Medical Science Liaison (MSL) to support our Oncology Diagnostic partners and join our growing team. Reporting to the Vice President of Scientific and Medical Affairs, you will serve a critical role providing medical and scientific support for our Customer Success team on key accounts, playing a pivotal part in maximizing diagnostic client engagement and satisfaction.

You will also articulate complex diagnostic and clinical requirements to internal Data Science, Product, and Engineering teams to ensure client delight. Outstanding communication and project management skills are essential, with an ability to manage multiple complex and unrelated projects simultaneously. Comfort in a remote, fast-paced, growth-phase start-up environment is paramount.

Key Responsibilities

• Act as a subject matter expert in oncology and real-world data applications during client meetings and external engagements.
• Support client research initiatives by advising on the interpretation, provenance, and internal use of real-world data (RWD), including data extracted through AI/ML algorithms such as large language models.
• Provide scientific guidance on the design and execution of client-led real-world evidence studies utilizing xCures’ platform.
• Assist clients in troubleshooting data-related queries and provide scientific explanations for data anomalies or findings.
• Collaborate with internal product and engineering teams to inform the development of client-facing features and data offerings based on external medical and scientific requirements.
• Perform ongoing review of data products to ensure they meet scientific standards, client expectations, and regulatory considerations.
• Propose and lead collaborations on joint publications and thought leadership efforts with clients and external researchers.
• Represent xCures at conferences and external forums by presenting on platform capabilities, scientific findings, and applications of RWD in oncology, in support of the business development team.
