Director, Field Medical - CentralUnited States
About the role
The Opportunity 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 and serving as the field-facing scientific partner to Maze's clinical development programs. It’s a genuine scientific leadership position, not site support with a scientific veneer. 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) and 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.
Responsibilities
- Scientific Exchange & KOL Engagement: Be a recognized scientific expert and the trusted face of Maze in your regions; lead compliant, peer-to-peer scientific exchange with thought leaders, physicians, renal pathologists, and PKU specialists; build a durable regional KOL map, including in the metabolic community where Maze isn’t yet known; provide accurate scientific education on AMKD, FSGS, CKD, and PKU, including APOL1 biology and SLC6A19 substrate reduction;
