Quickly learn and apply industry, product, and technical knowledge related to both the client's business and the agency landscape
Support the annotation and submission process under the direction of Scientific Writers
Collaborate closely with UX, Technology, and Customer Experience (CX) teams
Lead tactical ideation, creation, and execution of original content across platforms
