Medical Science Liaison - Diagnostics

We’re Cyted - a pioneering gastrointestinal health diagnostics company enabling more patients early access and detection for esophageal cancer and Barrett’s esophagus. Our technology brings a minimally invasive diagnostic approach to market - our EndoSign test combines a swallowable pill-like device with advanced biomarkers and analytics to help detect disease earlier and faster. What started as an idea between a health-tech entrepreneur and leading clinical scientists at Cambridge University has quickly grown into an international company operating across the UK and US, backed by investors such as EQT Life Sciences and a $44M Series B investment. But we still work like a startup - because we are one. Things move quickly here and we build as we go. Some days you’ll be solving problems first of their kind with innovative approaches. Other days you’ll just need to roll your sleeves up and get things done. That’s the reality of building a company that’s growing fast and trying to genuinely change patient outcomes. We’re a small, highly collaborative team, which means your work matters. We have the trust and belief from our investors so you won’t disappear into layers of hierarchy or spend months waiting for decisions. If you have a good idea, we want to hear it, regardless of your role or title. We like people who are curious, adaptable, thoughtful, and always willing to learn and improve. This isn’t a polished corporate environment where everything already exists. We’re building processes, teams, products and ways of working in real time. Every day is different. If the idea of helping build something ambitious from the ground up excites you - and you want your work to have a real-world impact on people’s lives - we’d love to hear from you. Our recruitment process runs through four stages and we interview on a rolling basis. Each stage has its own purpose. As we have grown, we have made each contact point based on candidate feedback, making sure you actually get a helpful insight into Cyted. We want to give you the most open & true snapshot of us no matter the role. Initial conversation – Run by Maddie from our People team, this is a relaxed online chat so we can learn more about you and your background, and so you can learn more about us too. Line manager interview – This online chat explores the role in more detail through scenario-based and role-specific questions to see how you would bring your skills and knowledge into Cyted. Team interview & assessment – To meet the wider team and see how we work in-person, we like to involve a panel of team members to listen to your ideas in either a presentation or assessment format. Final Interview – Marcel, our CEO, still speaks to every new potential employee. In this online meeting, you will get to discuss your goals and explore how they align with the company’s history and future vision. We're looking for a Medical Science Liaison who's ready to hit the ground running, learn whilst creating success at Cyted, and help bring our clinical value to life. As we expand and commercialise in the US, we're partnering with pioneering health systems, gastroenterology practices and clinicians to introduce a new approach to earlier cancer detection. This is an opportunity to help shape how a new and innovative diagnostic is understood, adopted and embedded into real-world clinical practice from the very beginning. As the first field-based Medical Affairs hire in the US, you won't inherit an established territory or years of existing processes. Instead, you'll get the opportunity to own and build them. Working alongside a small, ambitious team, you will get to make a visible impact, take ownership, solve problems and influence how Cyted grows across the US. You'll partner closely with Medical Affairs, Commercial and Clinical Operations to communicate the science behind our technology, educate healthcare professionals, generate valuable field insights and support successful adoption. Combining scientific expertise, stakeholder engagement and commercial awareness, you'll help strengthen our evidence base, identify opportunities for clinical collaboration and ensure customer feedback directly shapes the future of our product. We're looking for someone who's built early experience in Medical Affairs or a scientific field role and is hungry to learn, grow and make their mark. This role is for someone who enjoys building rather than maintaining, takes initiative without waiting to be asked, and wants the opportunity to have an influence far beyond their job title. If you're motivated by innovation, excited by the pace of a growing company and want to play a meaningful role in bringing a first-of-its-kind diagnostic to patients across the US from the start, we'd love to hear from you. The role is a full-time position with a standard 40 hour working week. The role holder will need to visit other company sites frequently and may be required to work flexibly. Building Clinical Partnerships Building trusted relationships with gastroenterologists, pathologists, advanced practice providers and key healthcare stakeholders across your territory. Communicating the scientific and clinical value of Cyted's technology, tailoring discussions to each audience and stage of adoption. Delivering engaging clinical education, training and scientific presentations that build confidence and support successful adoption. Becoming a reliable scientific partner, providing credible, evidence-based support throughout the customer journey. Driving Clinical Adoption and Insight Partnering with Commercial and Clinical Operations to support customer onboarding, implementation and ongoing utilisation. Gathering real-world clinical insights, customer feedback and market intelligence to help shape products, evidence generation and commercial strategy. Identifying opportunities for clinical collaborations, investigator-initiated studies and real-world evidence generation. Helping Shape Medical Affairs at Cyted Taking ownership of cross-functional projects, proactively solving problems and collaborating across Medical Affairs, Commercial, Product and Clinical teams to help shape Medical Affairs and deliver an exceptional customer experience. Staying informed on developments in gastroenterology, oncology, diagnostics and the evolving US healthcare landscape, bringing valuable insights back to the business. Contributing beyond defined responsibilities, embracing opportunities to improve processes, support colleagues and help Cyted grow. Qualifications and Experience Relevant scientific, clinical or healthcare experience, supported by a degree or equivalent professional experience in a life sciences, healthcare or related discipline. Advanced scientific or clinical qualifications are welcomed but not required. Experience communicating scientific or clinical evidence in a way that builds confidence, influences adoption and supports better patient care. Experience working within diagnostics, biotechnology, medical devices or healthcare, with an enthusiasm for innovative technologies and improving clinical pathways. Skills and Knowledge The ability to communicate complex scientific information clearly, adapting your approach for different clinical and business audiences. Strong relationship-building, collaboration and influencing skills, with the confidence to work independently and across cross-functional teams. Excellent organisation, prioritisation and problem-solving skills, thriving in a fast-paced environment where priorities evolve quickly. Personal Attributes A proactive, self-starting mindset, taking ownership, showing initiative and finding opportunities to make an impact. A genuine desire to learn, grow and build something new, embracing ambiguity and helping shape how Medical Affairs develops at Cyted. A collaborative, resilient and purpose-driven approach, with the energy to roll up your sleeves, support your colleagues and contribute wherever you're needed.
