We're looking for an experienced Senior Medical Writer to join our growing team and help develop high-quality, scientifically rigorous communications for our pharmaceutical and biotech clients.

This is a role for you if you can combine strong scientific expertise with exceptional writing skills. You will need to get to the heart of complex data, identify the story within it, and communicate it with clarity, creativity, and impact.

Reporting to a Senior Scientific Director, as a Senior Medical Writer, you'll take a leading role across a diverse portfolio of medical communications projects. These projects include websites, MOA videos, symposia, booths, internal educational materials, and strategy documents. You'll develop scientific content from concept through to final delivery, while also providing strategic and scientific input to the wider account team.

Conduct literature searches and undertake comprehensive scientific research.

Attend and contribute to client meetings, advisory boards, congresses and other scientific meetings.

Provide scientific and strategic input into project planning and programme development.

Work with account management, strategy, creative and editorial colleagues to deliver integrated communications.

Review and critically edit the work of other writers, providing constructive feedback and maintaining high scientific and editorial standards.

You'll be an experienced Senior Medical Writer who is comfortable engaging with clients and experts, and motivated by producing work that genuinely adds value.

A degree, MSc, PhD or equivalent qualification in a relevant life sciences or healthcare discipline.

Several years experience working as a medical writer, within a medical communications agency.

The ability to understand complex data and translate it into compelling communications for different audiences.

The confidence to present scientific information and contribute to client discussions.

Take ownership of meaningful projects while having the support of an experienced team around you.

Work within a flexible and inclusive environment where different perspectives are valued.

Flexible hybrid and remote working options.

A competitive benefits package, including private healthcare, life insurance and pension.

Most importantly, you'll shape the science, not simply write about it.
