field based Medical Science Liaison (MSL) program to aid these
Scientific Experts (SEs) in their pursuit for deep knowledge of

therapeutic knowledge about Lilly and competitor products and
current issues in the oncology therapeutic areas they represent. In
this role you will gather feedback and insights from SEs to better
inform Lilly's research and to be able to inform the overall
strategic direction of the Oncology Business Unit. By providing
answers that matter and facilitating scientific exchange between
industry and the SE community, you will have the opportunity to
craft the future of healthcare with information that addresses
meaningful clinical and scientific questions. The primary

searches. It is essential and a core expectation that you
communicate regularly with your peers to ensure that the entire
group benefits from any relevant learning. As a result, you will
establish yourself as a reliable, trusted, resource of accurate,
up-to-date, medical and scientific knowledge requested and desired
by your clients. You will respond in a timely manner to personal or
