Scientific and Clinical Experts (SEs/CEs) are individuals who are noted for their expertise in a therapeutic area and as a result have special needs for in-depth and cutting-edge information, because they treat patients, design and implement novel research, and educate colleagues and students. The Medical Science Liaison (MSL) program is specifically designed to meet these needs through a field-based group of medical professionals with deep content knowledge about specific disease states, Lilly and competitive compounds and the landscape within the therapeutic areas they represent. MSLs recognize and communicate feedback and insights of strategic importance from their interactions with SEs and CEs, to better inform Lilly's strategic direction for research and commercialization.

Customer engagement MSLs will spend the majority of their time on customer facing activities. Through the application of emotional intelligence, strategic thinking and a deep understanding of their customers, MSLs will act as one of the primary interfaces between Lilly medical and SEs/CEs to deliver a positive customer experience and utilize MSL capabilities that enhance customer engagement. Additionally, MSLs connect SEs/CEs with other Lilly resources or internal business partners as appropriate and facilitate collaborative research and external opportunities.
Territory ownership MSLs will be expected to demonstrate strategic analysis, planning, and prioritization to maximize efficiency. They will implement and evaluate a strategic territory plan prioritizing core MSL activities and take personal accountability for results. There is also an expectation for compliant partnerships across all Lilly field roles sharing customers to create an appropriately coordinated experience. MSL will effectively utilize territory analytics for customer identification and routing prioritization.

MSLs use good judgement in decision-making and escalate issues as appropriate. They cultivate internal networks and collaborate effectively across functions including working closely with other field-based colleagues. They embrace change, exercise strategic agility with evolving business needs and utilize innovative resources.
