The Medical Sience Liaison (MSL) in Canada is responsible for establishing and maintaining the medical and scientific understanding of Grifols' products amongst clinicians and researchers across Canada. The MSL will work to identify long term strategic opportunities for Grifols that are crucial as Grifols' products are used in a multitude of applications for which there is limited but real scientific evidence. The growth of the business in Canada depends on identifying and supporting the development of further scientific evidence for the appropriate use of these products. MSLs are key players to recognize emerging therapeutic trends and unmet patient needs which will ultimately support the development of business strategies and opportunities. The MSL is responsible for developing mutual understanding and collaboration with medical thought leaders through the exchange of complex scientific information. Finally, the MSL will convey and interpret the information they bring back from the medical community, presenting its scientific and commercial implications.

Provide support and update to Grifols' clinical development groups that may include the visit of study sites, support of communication and exchange of trial related information.
• The MSL will be required to travel frequently on their own and interact with a wide variety of medical and scientific personnel. A high degree of independence is required. Since the MSL will be one of the most visible faces of Grifols, this independence must be coupled with a high degree of cooperation with head office on issues of policy, strategy and tactics. The MSL must be able to balance a strong focus on compliance and business objectives with scientific acumen and the insight for longer term strategies. The individual MSL must be adept at gathering and sharing information and understand sensitivities and the impact of knowledge exchange.
