  • Medical Science Liaison – South Belgium / Wallonia

Are you a Medical Science Liaison who combines scientific depth with strong communication skills and the ability to build trusted relationships in the field? This opportunity gives you the chance to play a key role in the early development of a Benelux medical presence, with a specific focus on South Belgium / Wallonia.

You will join an innovative biopharmaceutical environment where Medical Affairs is central to the preparation of the market. The culture is human, flexible and trust-based, with a strong emphasis on autonomy, accountability, scientific quality and team spirit. The organization values people who communicate openly, respond quickly, listen carefully and contribute positively to a close team dynamic.

Vacancy information

The Benelux structure is being built step by step. Before the future commercial launch, the first MSLs will play a foundational role: mapping the medical landscape, identifying sleep centers, understanding local stakeholder networks and creating strong, compliant scientific relationships with healthcare professionals. The initial therapeutic focus is chronic insomnia.

Your future role:

As Medical Science Liaison for South Belgium / Wallonia, you will act as the scientific field expert for your territory. You will engage in balanced, non-promotional scientific dialogue with healthcare professionals, researchers and key opinion leaders. Your work will help shape the medical strategy in the region and provide important field insights to the internal Medical Affairs team.

You will identify relevant sleep centers, map KOLs and stakeholders, understand local treatment pathways and build long-term scientific partnerships. The role requires a mix of autonomy, scientific credibility, communication skills and strong compliance awareness.

Although the job description mentions Luxembourg, this is not considered an immediate focus. The short-term priority is South Belgium / Wallonia. Luxembourg may become relevant later, potentially after internalization or at a later stage of the Benelux development.

A structured onboarding and scientific training period of approximately two months is planned. Previous therapeutic experience in insomnia, sleep medicine or CNS is not required. The client is looking for a strong MSL profile who can learn quickly, analyze data, synthesize scientific information and communicate clearly with different stakeholders.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Building and developing strong scientific relationships with healthcare professionals, KOLs, researchers and sleep centers in South Belgium / Wallonia.
  • Providing credible, fair, balanced and non-promotional scientific information.
  • Mapping relevant centers, stakeholders and scientific opportunities within the territory.
  • Understanding the perspectives, challenges and needs of healthcare professionals in patient care.
  • Developing and executing a dynamic territory action plan in line with the Medical Affairs strategy.
  • Acting as a scientific expert through literature review, scientific monitoring, congress participation and internal training.
  • Collecting and sharing field insights, including KOL and site profiling.
  • Participating in regional, national and international scientific events when relevant.
  • Supporting internal scientific training and collaboration with medical, marketing or field teams where appropriate.
  • Supporting the identification of potential investigators, research opportunities or clinical sites.
  • Using tools such as Veeva CRM to document and share relevant information.
  • Working in full compliance with internal procedures, pharmacovigilance requirements, medical information standards and Belgian ethical rules.

Requirements information

You hold a medical, pharmacy or scientific higher education degree, preferably at Master level or equivalent. A PhD, pharmacist, physician or scientific background is suitable. You ideally have at least two years of experience as a Medical Science Liaison or in a similar Medical Affairs role. A first MSL experience in Belgium is strongly preferred, as knowledge of the local regulatory and compliance environment is important.

You are fluent in French and have a very good professional level of English. French is essential for your territory and for collaboration with healthcare professionals in South Belgium / Wallonia.

You bring:

  • Strong scientific understanding.
  • Excellent analytical and synthesis skills.
  • Clear and engaging scientific communication.
  • Confidence in presenting scientific data.
  • Knowledge of the pharmaceutical environment and compliance standards.
  • Autonomy and strong organizational skills.
  • Responsiveness and reliability.
  • Team spirit and collaborative mindset.
  • Openness to feedback and continuous learning.
  • Human values, curiosity and positive energy.

You do not need to be an expert in insomnia or sleep medicine before joining. The onboarding and training program will provide the necessary scientific foundation. What matters most is your ability to represent the medical organization credibly, work compliantly and build meaningful scientific relationships.

What do we offer

This is a rare opportunity to contribute to the creation of a Benelux medical structure from the beginning. You will have the chance to shape your territory, build your scientific network, provide strategic insights and influence how the medical presence develops locally.

You will benefit from a flexible and trust-based working environment, a structured scientific onboarding program, close support from an experienced Medical Affairs lead and regular interaction with the broader France / Benelux team. The role offers autonomy, responsibility and the opportunity to grow with the organization.

The position is initially outsourced, with a clear intention to internalize the MSLs at a later stage. For a scientifically curious, communicative and field-oriented MSL, this is a strong opportunity to make a tangible impact.

Novellas Healthcare is an equal opportunity employer. We welcome every talent and do not discriminate based on gender, ethnicity, religion, disability, sexual orientation or any other personal characteristic.
