Make your mark for patients

We are looking for a Medical Science Liaison (MSL) to join our Nordic Immunology team as the scientific partner for dermatology in Sweden. This is a field-based, high-autonomy role for an experienced Medical Affairs professional who builds credibility through insight, not hierarchy.

Leading through influence, you will drive projects - aligning cross-functional stakeholders and creating clarity in a collaborative, low-hierarchy environment. Your work will centre on meaningful scientific dialogue, not transactional interactions.

• Apply sound judgment to connect science with stakeholder needs for measurable outcomes.


• Identify emerging needs and trends in the ecosystem and act on them proactively

Who you will work with

You’ll partner with an integrated Nordic cross-functional team and collaborate externally with HCPs, scientific experts, patient organisations, and other relevant stakeholders. You report to the Medical Lead Dermatology Nordics.

What we’re looking for

• Advanced life sciences degree (MSc required; PhD preferred) and strong scientific credibility
