Medical Affairs 

Medical affairs professionals play a vital role in connecting clinical research with commercial strategy. From scientific communication and stakeholder engagement to regulatory insight and medical education, they ensure therapies are understood, trusted and used effectively. At R&D Partners, we place these experts where their impact drives innovation and improves lives. 

Most roles require a degree in life sciences, pharmacy or medicine. Advanced qualifications such as a PhD, PharmD or medical degree are often preferred, especially for strategic or senior positions. Whether you’re moving from academia, clinical practice or industry, we help you find the right entry point and support your journey forward. 

Medical affairs offers a dynamic and rewarding career path. You might start as a Medical Science Liaison or Medical Information Officer, then progress to roles like Medical Affairs Manager, Medical Director or Head of Medical Affairs. Each step brings new opportunities to shape strategy, influence outcomes and lead innovation. 

We’re life sciences experts. Our team of dedicated market experts offers tailored guidance, exclusive access to sought-after roles and long-term support throughout your career. Whether you’re seeking your first medical affairs role or stepping into leadership, we help you move faster and go further. 

Medical affairs talent is in demand across pharmaceutical, biotech and medical device organisations. We work with global enterprises and emerging innovators, offering opportunities that span therapeutic areas, locations and career levels. Our network connects you with the right people at the right time. 

Flexibility is common in medical affairs. Roles like Medical Science Liaison are often field-based or remote, while strategic positions may be hybrid or office-based depending on the organisation. We help you find a role that suits your lifestyle, goals and working preferences.
