The Opportunity
Praxis is seeking a field-based Senior Medical Science Liaison (Senior MSL) to support Medical Affairs activities for ulixacaltimide during prelaunch and potential launch. This role is focused on building trusted scientific partnerships, delivering high-quality scientific exchange, and generating actionable insights to inform medical strategy and ensure clinical readiness. You will provide coaching, guidance, and peer leadership to other MSLs while also maintaining strategic engagement with key investigators, movement disorder specialists, and other neurology stakeholders.
This individual will play a critical role in translating medical strategy into field execution, ensuring high-quality scientific exchange, and driving clinical and account readiness in advance of and following potential approval. The role requires strategic thinking and field engagement, serving as a field-based scientific leader and trusted resource to the broader MSL team.
Given the significant unmet need in essential tremor and the opportunity to introduce a novel therapeutic option, this role will help shape disease education, stakeholder engagement, and the evolving treatment paradigm across both academic and community neurology settings.
Success in this role requires strong clinical credibility, excellent communication skills, strategic thinking, and comfort operating autonomously in a fast-paced environment.
