About Lilly

At Lilly, we unite caring with discovery to make life better for people around the world. We are a global healthcare leader headquartered in Indianapolis, and in Mexico we have been making medicines since 1908. Driven by our enduring values of Integrity, Excellence, and Respect for People , we put people first — in our labs, in our communities, and in our workplaces.

The Opportunity

Cardiometabolic Health is Lilly’s largest therapeutic area and the center of our scientific ambition — to redefine diabetes care, treat obesity, and curtail its most devastating long-term effects across cardiovascular, renal, hepatic, and metabolic disease. As a Medical Science Liaison (MSL) , you will be a credible, field-based scientific partner: translating complex evidence into clinical practice, building trust-based relationships with healthcare experts, and generating the insights that shape Lilly’s medical strategy in México.

What You Will Do

Scientific Knowledge & Communication

• Maintain expert command of the evidence across diabetes, obesity, cardiovascular disease, lipids, and Lilly’s cardiometabolic current molecules and pipeline, engaging on investigational assets only in a reactive, compliant manner.
• Translate clinical trial data, real-world evidence, HEOR outputs, and guideline updates (ADA, AACE, ECO, SMNE, etc) into clear, balanced, guideline-aligned scientific narratives.
• Respond to unsolicited scientific inquiries with rigorous, non-promotional, evidence-based information.

Customer Engagement & Scientific Exchange

• Map, prioritize, and build trust-based partnerships with scientific and clinical experts across endocrinology, cardiology, internal medicine, primary care, obesity medicine, bariatric surgery, nephrology, and allied specialties — reflecting the increasingly cross-specialty nature of cardiometabolic care.
• Deliver high-impact scientific presentations to HCPs and multidisciplinary care teams, and provide scientific support at national congresses.
• Engage private and public stakeholders (IMSS, ISSSTE, CCINSHAE, COFEPRIS, CENETEC, CSG, SEDENA, SEMAR, PEMEX) in compliant, non-promotional scientific exchange that supports access decisions grounded in evidence.

Territory Ownership & Insight Generation

• Own the medical profile of your assigned territory: define engagement priorities, uncover clinical care gaps, and capture actionable insights that inform medical, evidence-generation, and launch plans.
• Support investigator-initiated trials, real-world evidence projects, and publication activities in partnership with the broader Medical Affairs team.

Strategic Vision & Cross-Functional Leadership

• Partner with Access, HEOR, Regulatory, Commercial, Marketing, and Compliance colleagues so Medical Affairs contributes as a strategic, evidence-based voice across the full product lifecycle — pre-launch, launch, and post-launch.
• Uphold Lilly’s zero-tolerance ethics culture and ensure every activity meets Lilly global standards.

What You Will Bring

Education & Experience (either path works)

• Advanced degree in health sciences (MD, PharmD, PhD, or MSc) with at least 2 years of clinical, research, industry, or Medical Affairs experience, OR
• Bachelor’s degree in life sciences with 5+ years of relevant clinical, research, or pharmaceutical industry experience in a therapeutic area related to cardiometabolic care.

Core Capabilities

• Fluent English and Spanish, able to present complex scientific data and manage rigorous Q&A in both languages.
• Demonstrated ability to communicate scientific evidence clearly to diverse audiences, build trusted multidisciplinary relationships, and translate qualitative field interactions into strategic insights.
• Digital fluency — comfort operating within CRM ecosystems (Veeva CRM), literature databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane, UpToDate, ClinicalKey), virtual-engagement platforms (MS Teams), and insight/analytics dashboards; openness to AI-enabled internal tools that enhance medical affairs productivity.
• Mobility — willing and able to travel approximately 50–60% nationally, including overnight, complemented by a parallel omnichannel engagement model for virtual interactions.

What Will Help You Stand Out

• Practical knowledge of COFEPRIS, CSG, and the Compendio Nacional de Insumos para la Salud (CNIS) processes, with contribution to value dossiers or payer-engagement activities.
• Hands-on involvement in real-world evidence projects, investigator-initiated trials, or peer-reviewed publications.
• Experience with omnichannel and digital engagement (virtual advisory boards, asynchronous expert platforms, analytics dashboards).
• Active participation in Mexican scientific societies.
• Leadership in diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives, or peer mentoring within Medical Affairs.

How You Will Grow

Lilly Mexico is deeply committed to developing its people: 90% of leadership positions are filled by colleagues whose careers have been developed internally, and 44% of these leaders are Latin American talent . As an MSL you will have structured development pathways across Medical Affairs, access to Lilly’s global scientific networks, and exposure to one of the most ambitious cardiometabolic pipelines in the industry.
