Medical Affairs Manager (rare disease) - 6 months contract

We're supporting a global biopharmaceutical organisation in their search for an experienced Medical Affairs Manager to support the delivery of their international plan for a rare disease portfolio.

This is a hands-on, execution-focused role - ideal for someone who enjoys owning and delivering projects in a fast-paced, collaborative setting. The successful candidate will step straight into a small but busy team, picking up high-impact medical education and engagement activities with autonomy and pace.

Key focus areas include:

• Supporting advisory boards and affiliate training content
• Coordinating monthly international medical affairs meetings
• Driving compliant content development and internal reviews (via Veeva Vault)
• Acting as the delivery lead across a number of cross-functional initiatives

Start: ASAP (June 2025)

Contract type: Fixed-term contract (6 months) preferred, but we are open to contractors operating via a Ltd company (outside IR35)

We're looking for someone who:

• Has solid experience delivering medical affairs projects in pharma or biotech
• Can operate independently with minimal onboarding
• Brings background in rare diseases, genetic or metabolic disorders (oncology considered)
• Is confident managing agency partners and internal stakeholders
• Has experience using Veeva Vault (ABPI signatory not essential)

If you are immediately available and looking for a meaningful medical affairs contract, this is a great opportunity to contribute directly to international patient-focused programmes in the rare disease space.
