[Hiring] Director of Field Medical @Maze Therapeutics

Role Description

We’re looking for a Director of Field Medical to serve as the regional scientific lead during a pivotal stage of our growth. This senior, full-scope Medical Science Liaison role rests on two pillars:

• Leading high-level scientific exchange and key opinion leader relationships across your region.
• Serving as the field-facing scientific partner to Maze's clinical development programs.

With MZE829 entering its pivotal program in 2027 and MZE782 advancing through Phase 2, your immediate priority is enabling the clinical programs, so trial and investigator support carries real weight from day one.

Because Maze is genetics-first, you’ll need credibility across two distinct communities:

• Nephrology (AMKD, FSGS, CKD)
• Metabolic disease (PKU)

Initially, an individual contributor, you’ll build the region's scientific relationships and support trial execution, then help recruit, mentor, and eventually lead a regional MSL team as we grow.

Qualifications

• An advanced scientific degree (PharmD, PhD, MD, DO, or equivalent).
• A minimum of 7 years of Medical Affairs, Field Medical, Clinical Development, or related biopharmaceutical experience.
• A demonstrated track record building KOL relationships and leading peer-to-peer scientific exchange.
• Demonstrated accountability for site engagement and clinical trial enrollment.
• Deep scientific fluency and the credibility to hold a peer-level conversation with an academic specialist.
• Willingness to travel approximately 60–70% within the assigned region.

Requirements

• Nephrology depth with existing relationships in the kidney community, and genuine willingness to build metabolic and PKU fluency.
• Pre-commercial or first-launch biotechnology experience, built without an established field infrastructure.
• Experience with genotype-driven patient identification and diagnostic testing pathways.
• Experience mentoring MSLs or leading congress and/or scientific-platform initiatives.

Benefits

• Competitive medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• Mental health offerings.
• Equity incentive plan.
• 401(k) program with employer match.
• A generous holiday and PTO policy.
