Medical Science Liaison/Senior Medical Science Liaison, Neuroscience

Apnimed is a pharmaceutical company working to transform the treatment of sleep apnea based on a simple idea – patients with obstructive sleep apnea could benefit from treatment with a safe and effective oral medication dosed once daily at bedtime. Of note, the Boston Business Journal has also voted Apnimed as one of the Best Places to Work in 2024 and 2025!
As we build our new Medical Science Liaison (MSL) Team, this group is recognized as a key member of the Apnimed Medical Affairs Organization. Through scientific exchange, the MSL team is responsible for communicating scientific, medical and clinical information within the medical community while also serving as a scientific resource within the organization. The ideal candidate will be a true medical “triple threat” demonstrating high levels of scientific excellence, business acumen, and emotional intelligence. Candidates selected to join the MSL Team will have a profound opportunity to have a major impact on the Medical Team, make significant contributions to the organization and ultimately create positive change to those patient populations which we ultimately serve.
