Medical Affairs Consultant

This is a fully remote position, open to applicants in India.

📋 Description

• Oversee the comprehensive review, updating, and enhancement of the RADIESSE® and ULTHERAPY® claims matrix, which acts as the definitive internal resource for substantiating product claims across marketing, medical education, and healthcare professional (HCP) engagement.

• Perform structured literature reviews to discover pertinent new publications that have not yet been included in the matrix, encompassing APAC-specific clinical studies, real-world evidence, and consensus papers.

• Evaluate the quality, strength, and relevance of the clinical evidence supporting each claim, utilizing recognized levels-of-evidence and evidence-grading principles.

• Assess which claims can be confidently made and which necessitate stronger backing, clearly differentiating between what is defensible for HCP-facing and consumer-facing applications.

• Fine-tune claim language to ensure it is scientifically precise, clear, and suitably caveated, including careful management of superiority and "first/only" type claims.

• Create a definitive claim hierarchy and pinpoint differentiating or competitive claims that are genuinely substantiated by the evidence.

• Authenticate all references and develop a comprehensive, well-structured reference library along with a source-documentation trail.

• Identify gaps in evidence and provide recommendations for priority claims and future evidence-generation opportunities.

• Ensure that the matrix and its recommendations comply with medico-legal and regulatory review standards as well as the client's internal review and approval processes.

• Clearly present findings and recommendations to medical, marketing, and regulatory stakeholders.

⛳️ Requirements

• Practical experience in medical or scientific claims review, medico-legal review (MLR), regulatory affairs, or medical affairs in the pharmaceutical, medical device, or aesthetics sectors.

• Strong critical appraisal abilities and confidence in working with clinical literature (study design, endpoints, statistics, and evidence grading).

• Experience in conducting literature reviews and validating references.

• A solid understanding of the principles that govern promotional claims and the differences in substantiation standards for HCP versus consumer communications.

• Exceptional scientific writing skills, with a keen eye for accuracy and detail.

• Familiarity with aesthetics, dermatology, injectables, or energy-based devices.

• Knowledge of APAC regulatory nuances, local codes of practice, and regional evidence.

🏝️ Benefits

• Competitive salary and performance-based bonuses.

• Comprehensive health benefits package.

• Opportunities for professional development and continuous learning.

• Collaborative and innovative work environment.
