Responsibilities

Develop medically accurate copy from outline/brief through refined, MLR-ready versions for a range of pharma deliverables, including HCP and consumer promotional materials, disease state content, educational resources, training, and other client communications.

Create layout-ready manuscripts with clear hierarchy (headlines, subheads, body copy, callouts, tables, figures, captions) that can transition directly into design.

Identify and recommend figures, charts, graphs, and medical imagery that enhance clarity and storytelling, in collaboration with the design team.

Participate in client-facing discussions to present and explain your work, clearly defend and substantiate references, claims, and content decisions, and respond thoughtfully to client questions and feedback.

Review designed pieces to ensure the layout accurately reflects the approved manuscript, that copy and references are carried over correctly, and that the design continues to support the original intent.

Keep design implications in mind when making client or MLR edits to already-designed pieces, ensuring revisions remain clear, accurate, and workable in layout.

Translate complex clinical and scientific information into clear, compelling narratives tailored to different audiences (HCPs, patients/consumers, internal teams).

Ensure all content is accurate, current, and grounded in credible sources, with anchors, superscripts, annotations, and reference lists consistent with AMA style and pharma promotional standards.

Requirements

Minimum 5 years of medical writing experience in a healthcare agency, pharmaceutical company, or medical communications environment.

Strong understanding of clinical concepts, medical terminology, and pharmaceutical accuracy standards.

Demonstrated ability to create layout-ready manuscripts with a clear hierarchy for design teams.

Proven experience producing fully referenced, accurately anchored, scientifically supported content.

Ability to produce both long-form narrative content and concise short-form copy.

Exceptional attention to detail, organizational skill, and medical accuracy.

Ability to deliver clean drafts with minimal oversight and meet deadlines confidently.

Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (life sciences, pharmacy, nursing, public health, communications, or related).

Preferred

Advanced degrees (PharmD, PhD, MS, MPH) are a plus but not required for strong writers with solid pharma experience.

Benefits

Health Insurance; 401K program; Paid time off; company holidays
