Cytokinetics is a specialty cardiovascular biopharmaceutical company, building on its over 25 years of pioneering scientific innovations in muscle biology, and advancing a pipeline of potential new medicines for patients suffering from diseases of cardiac muscle dysfunction.

The Associate Medical Director will support the Senior Medical Director in building the medical and compliance infrastructure required for the UK launch of MYQORZO (aficamten) in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The role combines three core functions: working closely with the Senior Medical Director to help shape UK medical strategy for the post launch phase and for future indications and pipeline assets, acting as a qualified ABPI signatory for the medical, legal and regulatory review and certification of promotional and non-promotional materials, and providing broader medical affairs support across key opinion leader engagement, congress planning and cross-functional collaboration.

This is a hands-on role suited to someone who wants to help shape process, governance and strategy from an early stage rather than step into a fully established structure. The successful candidate will work closely with the Senior Medical Director, Compliance, Legal and Regulatory Affairs colleagues to ensure the company is ready to transition from pre-launch to promotional activity following UK marketing authorisation, and to help define what comes next as the UK portfolio expands.#
