Medical Science Liaison – Rheumatology (m/w/d)

About the Role

As a Medical Science Liaison (MSL) at AbbVie, you'll be a scientific expert and trusted partner to leading healthcare professionals, clinical investigators, and research institutions across Austria. This is a field-based role at the heart of our medical affairs function — where science, strategy, and relationships come together.

You'll represent AbbVie's scientific credibility in a strictly non-promotional capacity, engaging in meaningful dialogue about our approved medicines and pipeline compounds in rheumatology, and supporting clinical research across your territory.

What You'll Do

• Build and maintain strong relationships with key opinion leaders, investigators, and scientific institutions in rheumatology
• Deliver credible scientific presentations on disease areas and AbbVie's pipeline
• Support the identification and engagement of external experts for research collaborations, advisory boards, and scientific events
• Facilitate the initiation and conduct of AbbVie-sponsored clinical trials in partnership with clinical operations teams
• Gather and share field-based medical intelligence — including clinical practice trends, evidence gaps, and competitive landscape insights
• Attend relevant scientific congresses and meetings
• Support physicians with named patient or compassionate use access requests where applicable
• Ensure all activities are conducted in full compliance with local laws, regulations, and AbbVie policies

What We're Looking For

• Advanced degree (MD, PharmD, PhD or equivalent) in a relevant scientific discipline strongly preferred; candidates with an undergraduate degree and strong relevant experience will also be considered
• At least 2 years' experience as an MSL, Clinical Research Associate, or similar field-based role in the pharmaceutical or medical sector
• Strong knowledge of clinical research methodology and the pharmaceutical regulatory environment
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with a track record of building trusted relationships with healthcare professionals
• Analytical mindset with strong problem-solving ability
• High standards of scientific integrity and compliance
• Fluent English and German

Why AbbVie?

We are committed to advancing science that makes a real difference to patients' lives. As an MSL, you'll have the autonomy to make an impact in your territory while being part of a collaborative, cross-functional team that genuinely values your expertise.
