Medical Information
Medical information specialists are responsible for a broad range of activities in the life sciences, primarily concerned with an expansive amount of data. Be it product or patient data, process changes, documentation and even PR, medical information specialists tend to serve as the interface between the patients, the clients, the public and the organisation. While medical information jobs are often unique, tailor-made to fit the specific needs and services of the organisation, many people who take on this area of responsibility enter the life sciences with a background in nursing or pharmacy.
Medical information professionals need to possess a comprehensive knowledge of their company’s products and service, while possessing incredible client-facing skillsets. They’re often the first point of contact between the client (or patient) and the company, so recognising their immense value in terms of both brand protection and process evaluation is critical.
These roles are not always customer-facing however, they can also be internal roles that support the various departments and teams operating within the organisation. The role is a superb way to enter the pharmaceutical field without necessarily needing a degree in a science-related subject, making it a great place to kick off a career for driven individuals who want to make a transition.
The role plays a huge part in developing the sales and marketing function of a life sciences company. Placing the right sales or marketing person into a company with a product which can help patients, directly impacts how quickly that product reaches a patient. Commercial employees facilitate breakthrough new technologies reaching the right KOLs, helping to save lives.

Life Sciences in Dublin
Dublin is an enchanting place. It’s a city like no other – ripe with a rich and storied history, a beautiful uniqueness, the finest pubs on the planet, and, for a long time now, a thriving life sciences scene. A wealth of various initiatives has helped the city develop a sturdy infrastructure upon which plenty of visionary companies have built their presence.
These initiatives include BioInnovate, a programme designed to help people from STEM backgrounds work on medical devices to combat unmet healthcare needs, and the funding opportunities from Enterprise Ireland, who invest in high potential life sciences startups.
In a report by Silicon Republic, 20 of the world’s top life sciences companies operate on the Irish shores, including Johnson & Johnson and Eli Lily, who both have centres in Dublin, employing a combined 4,300 employees across Ireland.
Dublin is home to not only a wide range of industries, but some fantastic STEM courses too, and it boasts a wide (and young) talent pool. Unfortunately, there’s a global talent shortage out to throw a spanner in the works, making hiring top candidates in the life sciences an even more competitive process than it usually is.
