If so, now is your chance to join Ascendis Pharma as our new Global Medical Scientist.

Ascendis Pharma is a global biopharmaceutical company committed to making a meaningful difference in patients’ lives. Guided by our core values of Patients, Science, and Passion, we are applying our innovative TransCon® technology platform to fulfill our mission of developing new therapies that demonstrate best-in-class potential to address unmet medical needs.

At our headquarters in Hellerup, Denmark, research facilities in Heidelberg, Germany, and additional offices across Europe and the United States, we are advancing programs in our Endocrinology Rare Disease portfolio.

You will be joining the Global Medical Office and report directly to the Senior Global Director, Global Medical Office. The position is based at our headquarters in Hellerup, Denmark.

Your key responsibilities will be:

  • Solid understanding of Medical Affairs, drug development processes, and global pharmaceutical compliance requirements.
  • Proven ability to build trusted partnerships and work effectively in a complex global matrix organization.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to engage both internal and external stakeholders.

Why it works

3×

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.
