We are looking for an individual with medical writing and medical copywriting skills & experience, who can apply their flair and join us in working on a range of commercially-orientated medical projects. Our clients' work spans the spectrum of scientific and promotionally related claims, so you need to have the depth and breadth of scientific understanding, alongside expertise in writing for a range of audiences and within multiple media. You need to be comfortable in understanding scientific data and its application in crafting effective, easily digestible narratives and content, blended with creative story telling. You will need to be familiar with leveraging the client's brand and communication strategy throughout all medical communications content.
Bringing your skills together will enable you to produce scientifically and medically sound, strategic, bold, and persuasive messages that feed into a broader content strategy approach for a range of clients and therapy areas.

You will ensure all work is medically accurate and creatively on point, whilst delivering on time and within budget. You will be expected to know your clients' processes as well as have brand ownership and develop expert knowledge of the therapy areas you are working in.
