  • Background in (or a willingness to learn and apply) coding or data manipulation skills (e.g. Python, SQL, R, Microsoft Power Automate) to streamline processes and manage data
  • Highly detail-oriented, organized, and an effective communicator in both written and visual formats (slides, spreadsheets, summaries).
  • Has the ability to attend in-person, domestic and international medical and scientific conferences
  • Collaborative mindset with the ability to work across teams, support senior colleagues, and mentor junior team members.
  • Ability to adapt quickly to new data sources, technologies, and evolving priorities.
  • Strong project management skills, with the ability to deliver within timelines while maintaining clarity and transparency.
  • Previous experience as an industry-trained scientist, medical librarian or medical science liaison, investor relations, or expert network professional considered a plus
  • Managerial experience desirable but not required
  • Is expected to attend weekend conferences as needed and on an occasional basis
  • Fluency in Mandarin Chinese (spoken and written) required for one of multiple hires
  • Must be able to work from our New York City office 4-5 days per week

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
