About the Role

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. These deliverables include posters, slide sets, value dossiers, reports and peer-reviewed publications, and they are used directly by our clients in communication with a range of external stakeholders, making them instrumental to the successful uptake of novel therapies. The work is structured on a project-by-project basis and you will usually be working on several projects in different disease areas at any one time.

You will work in project teams alongside experienced colleagues, who provide one-to-one training in the technical aspects of the role, including 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 meetings with external stakeholders.

Costello Medical is structured into divisional teams focusing on distinct medical communications and health economics services, or serving a specific sector within the healthcare industry. If you have an interest in joining a specific division, you will be encouraged to specify this in your application form. On joining the company, you will be assigned a "home" division based on factors such as your interests and skills and our current business need. However, where possible, Analysts and Medical Writers work cross-divisionally with at least one additional division to develop a broad understanding of the company's services and clients.

Essential requirements for the role are:

• An undergraduate degree level qualification in a scientific discipline (minimum 2.1 or equivalent).
• An aptitude for, and experience of, planning and writing scientific documents.
• A self-motivated and enthusiastic approach, with a genuine interest in healthcare.
• An exceptional level of attention to detail.
• Strong analytical skills.
• Excellent organisational skills.
• Exceptional written English.
• Effective verbal communication skills.
• The ability to tailor your communication style to a variety of audiences.
• A proactive mindset.
• A collaborative approach to working.
• The self-awareness to reflect on your own work and performance.
• A willingness to get involved with, and contribute to, your wider division.
• Fluency in Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint.

How To Apply

You are required to submit your CV/resume and a cover letter via our online application form. In your cover letter, you must explain why you think you would be suited to the role and why you would like to join Costello Medical, with examples to support both.
