About Us

We’re Cyted - a pioneering gastrointestinal health diagnostics company enabling more patients early access and detection for esophageal cancer and Barrett’s esophagus.

Our technology brings a minimally invasive diagnostic approach to market - our EndoSign test combines a swallowable pill-like device with advanced biomarkers and analytics to help detect disease earlier and faster.

What started as an idea between a health-tech entrepreneur and leading clinical scientists at Cambridge University has quickly grown into an international company operating across the UK and US, backed by investors such as EQT Life Sciences and a $44M Series B investment.

But we still work like a startup - because we are one.

Things move quickly here and we build as we go. Some days you’ll be solving problems first of their kind with innovative approaches. Other days you’ll just need to roll your sleeves up and get things done.
That’s the reality of building a company that’s growing fast and trying to genuinely change patient outcomes.

We’re a small, highly collaborative team, which means your work matters. We have the trust and belief from our investors so you won’t disappear into layers of hierarchy or spend months waiting for decisions. If you have a good idea, we want to hear it, regardless of your role or title.

We like people who are curious, adaptable, thoughtful, and always willing to learn and improve. This isn’t a polished corporate environment where everything already exists. We’re building processes, teams, products and ways of working in real time. Every day is different.

If the idea of helping build something ambitious from the ground up excites you - and you want your work to have a real-world impact on people’s lives  - we’d love to hear from you.

Our recruitment process runs through four stages and we interview on a rolling basis. Each stage has its own purpose.
As we have grown, we have made each contact point based on candidate feedback, making sure you actually get a helpful insight into Cyted. We want to give you the most open & true snapshot of us no matter the role. 
  1. Initial conversation – Run by Maddie from our People team, this is a relaxed online chat so we can learn more about you and your background, and so you can learn more about us too.
  2. Line manager interview – This online chat explores the role in more detail through scenario-based and role-specific questions to see how you would bring your skills and knowledge into Cyted.
  3. Team interview & assessment – To meet the wider team and see how we work in-person, we like to involve a panel of team members to listen to your ideas in either a presentation or assessment format. 
  4. Final Interview – Marcel, our CEO, still speaks to every new potential employee. In this online meeting, you will get to discuss your goals and explore how they align with the company’s history and future vision.

Job Summary

With rapid NHS momentum and national adoption accelerating, Cyted is looking for a confident and credible Medical Science Liaison (MSL) to bring our clinical value to life across the UK.

This is a role for someone who knows the NHS inside out. Someone who understands how clinicians think, how pathways operate, and how to build meaningful partnerships within a complex system. You’ll be working at the intersection of clinical engagement, scientific communication, and strategic rollout, supporting the growth of EndoSign, our non-invasive test that’s already transforming care for thousands of patients.

As MSL, you’ll be a trusted partner to NHS KOLs, GI specialists, and primary care leaders, championing the evidence behind our technology and supporting its real-world use. You’ll be the eyes and ears of the field, bringing clinical insight and frontline perspective into Cyted, collaborating with our Medical, Clinical, and Commercial teams to shape strategy and drive impact.

We’re looking for someone who can hit the ground running, connect confidently across generations and clinical backgrounds, and navigate both boardroom discussions and hospital corridors. You'll play a key role in scaling innovation within the NHS while being embedded in a dynamic, mission-driven private company. If you’re ready to step into a role where your credibility, curiosity, and connections directly affect how quickly patients access earlier, better diagnostics - shaping the future of cancer detection in the UK - we'd love to hear from you.

Working Pattern and Location

The role is a full-time position with a standard 37.5 hour working week. The role holder may be required to work flexibly. 

This is primarily a remote based role, but you will be required to visit customers frequently and our base in Cambridge when required.

What you will be doing

Champion Our Science in the Field:
  • Be the clinical face of Cyted across NHS sites, building trusted relationships with early adopters, influencers, and decision-makers in gastroenterology, oncology, and primary care.
  • Actively support regional rollouts, pilots, and pathway integrations, helping clinical teams adopt our technology with confidence.
  • Communicate our science clearly and credibly to a wide range of audiences, from consultants and nurses to pathway leads and commissioning stakeholders.
  • Work in step with our commercial team to ensure consistency in how our evidence and clinical impact are presented.
Deliver Clinical Education:
  • Lead effective and engaging clinical training sessions, workshops, and briefings across NHS partners and teams.
  • Co-create educational content, scientific materials, and field FAQs in partnership with our Medical Director.
  • Represent Cyted at advisory boards, NHS innovation events, and relevant scientific forums, both online and in person.
Fuel Clinical Momentum:
  • Support real-world data collection, outcomes research, and evidence-generation initiatives across the NHS.
  • Identify opportunities for local collaborations, case studies, or investigator-led research that strengthen clinical advocacy.
  • Contribute to publications, abstracts, conference submissions and clinical storytelling that reinforces Cyted’s value and voice.
Bridge Insight Back Into the Business:
  • Bring real-world NHS insights directly into our product, operations, and commercial strategy.
  • Work closely with Market Access and Health Economics to align messaging around outcomes, value, and adoption.
  • Support onboarding of new team members by building scalable tools and sharing field-level medical knowledge.
Stay Ahead of the Curve:
  • Track NHS policy shifts, commissioning trends, and clinical service changes and help us adapt quickly.
  • Stay up to date with research in GI diagnostics and early cancer detection, translating that knowledge into action.
  • Help Cyted remain clinically relevant, responsive, and impactful in every conversation, every site visit, and every decision we make.

Who you are?

We’re looking for a confident, knowledgeable Medical Science Liaison who’s ready to hit the ground running and help scale our clinical engagement across the NHS. The ideal candidate will bring deep familiarity with the UK healthcare landscape, strong existing relationships with clinicians and key stakeholders, and the credibility to navigate both strategic conversations and practical frontline needs. You’ll be hands-on, adaptable, and motivated to build from the ground up in a fast-moving, purpose-driven environment.

Therefore you will have:
  • A sharp understanding of the NHS - how decisions are made, how pathways function, and what matters to clinicians.
  • Experience in Gastrointestinal medicine and/or oncology, with clear insight into patient pathways and clinical impact.
  • 2–3+ years’ experience in Clinical Medicine or Medical Affairs/MSL roles, with a strong track record of building trusted relationships with clinicians.
  • Confidence working with scientific data - able to interpret evidence and translate it into clear, practical clinical value.
  • Independence and drive - comfortable taking ownership and delivering in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
  • Experience educating or presenting to peers, leading sessions that are engaging, credible and evidence-led.
  • Natural gravitas and relationship-building skills, able to engage senior clinicians with empathy, credibility and ease.
  • Exposure to cross-functional collaboration with digital health, commissioners or policy stakeholders.

How we work

At Cyted, how we work is just as important as the impact we create. Following our recent Series B fund raise and with increasing national attention, we’re entering a defining stage of growth - and our values guide how we scale. As our Medical Science Liaison, you’ll bring these values to life from day one.

We care deeply about the patients we serve, the clinicians we support, and the NHS system we’re helping to evolve. In this role, care means meeting people where they are - whether that’s a consultant balancing 15-minute slots or a commissioner weighing pathway impact. You’ll bring empathy, clarity, and respect to every interaction, building trust by understanding what really matters to those delivering care on the ground.

We expect you to own your role with confidence and credibility. You’ll be responsible for building and managing key clinical relationships across the country - from early conversations to long-term partnerships. You’ll take initiative, move with purpose, and know when to lead from the front.

We aim high. We’re scaling fast, and the NHS landscape is complex, but we’re not here to follow. You’ll be trusted to set bold engagement goals, create clinical confidence in our technology, and help define what great looks like in a new category of diagnostics. Your NHS insight, stakeholder knowledge, and field presence will help set the bar.

You’ll be expected to dive deep - into the science, the product, the workflow, and the people. You’ll understand the technical and clinical nuance behind our offering, and you’ll be just as comfortable explaining the data as you are listening to challenges from a GP, a GI specialist, or a CCG lead. You won’t pass along questions, you’ll proactively anticipate and answer them.

We encourage everyone to challenge and commit. You’ll be part of shaping how we work, what we prioritise, and how we grow. That means speaking up, questioning assumptions, and being open to better ways, but once we choose a path, you’ll go all-in. You’ll lead with clarity, alignment, and confidence.

And most of all, we deliver. This is a role that requires energy, urgency, and real-world progress. You’ll bring our clinical story to life, support confident adoption, and help remove friction from the system. Every meeting you run, insight you share, and relationship you build will move us closer to earlier, better care for patients across the UK.

This is how we work at Cyted, and if this sounds like the environment where you’ll do your best work, we’d love to speak with you.
