About The Role The Analyst and Medical Writer positions are ideal for recent graduates in the sciences, and those with experience in scientific research, who are seeking the opportunity to apply their knowledge to real-world projects. Analysts and Medical Writers work on projects involving the detailed analysis of data from clinical trials and the assimilation and creative presentation of this analysis in different formats including posters, slide sets, value dossiers, reports and peer-reviewed publications. These deliverables are used directly by our clients in communication with external stakeholders, which are instrumental to the successful uptake of novel therapies. The work is structured on a project-by-project basis and you will be working on three or four projects at any one time across a range of high-profile disease areas and products, presenting variety of work and the opportunity to develop a wide skill set.

You will work in project teams alongside experienced colleagues who will provide training on the technical aspects of the role as well as project management and effective client communication. Delivering project work requires close collaboration with clients, and following a successful induction period you will increasingly participate in teleconferences and face-to-face client meetings. The latter may present opportunities for travel within the US and internationally.

You will be based in our office in Boston, which was established in 2020. This presents opportunities to shape and drive our US company; an endeavor supported by the success of our existing operations in the UK and Asia.

Hybrid Working Policy We recognize that home-working can improve work life balance, reduce commuting times and costs, and provide the opportunity to juggle personal commitments. At the same time, we believe that having face-to-face time in the office holds many benefits and is central to ensuring that the community we have created, where people have a workplace they belong to and feel part of, is never lost. Therefore, we offer flexible working arrangements that allow our colleagues to work from home for up to half of the time, measured across a 2‑week rolling period. Please note that as part of our wider flexible working policy, employees may work outside of Massachusetts for up to 4 weeks annually.

Medical Communications – Medical Writer Medical Communications at Costello Medical encompasses both publications and medical affairs projects, with Medical Writers having the opportunity to work across these types of projects or specialise in one area.

Publications Projects require you to work closely with clients and world‑renowned opinion leaders to produce publications that communicate key scientific and clinical data to a wide audience. This includes the development of abstracts and manuscripts, as well as posters and oral presentations for large international congresses, with the opportunity to provide on‑site support at such events. In addition, you may have the chance to work on regulatory documents, lay summaries and policy-related publications.

Medical Affairs Projects provide the scientific bridge between clinical development and commercial functions in pharmaceutical and device companies. You will work closely with our clients to present the ‘science behind the product’ through a wide range of projects including medical education events, advisory boards and medical information materials. You will collaborate with and support expert advisors and event speakers, and the requirement for on‑site support at certain events provides opportunities for international travel.

Market Access – Analyst Our Market Access team supports a wide range of clients in producing materials to demonstrate both the clinical and economic value of some of the newest, most innovative technologies in development. The work is multidisciplinary, often beginning with evidence generation in the form of literature reviews, advisory boards with clinicians and payers, or economic modelling, to inform the development of global materials that present an evidence-based account of the product's value in a compelling and accessible manner.

Evidence Development – Analyst The work of our Evidence Development team encompasses literature reviews and synthesis projects as well as real‑world evidence projects.

Rare Diseases – Analyst To date, over seven thousand rare diseases have been identified but only four hundred have an approved treatment. By joining this team, you will develop the appropriate skills and deliver projects that require a broad range of technical expertise and knowledge across all of our service offerings, including literature reviews, the development of global economic models and publications, and the organization of medical education events.
