We're looking for a mid-level Content Editor who can take ownership of our editorial output across articles, interviews, podcasts, and live events. This is a hands-on, dynamic role at the intersection of journalism, content marketing, and event programming - ideal for someone with a nose for a good story and a passion for life sciences.

We are seeking a creative and diligent content professional to join our team. As a key contributor, you will play a pivotal role in developing engaging live event experiences and contributing to our digital content offerings.

• Commission and edit contributions from partners, and guest experts
  
  

Conference & Webinar Programming

• Collaborate with our events and marketing teams to promote sessions and generate content before/after each event
  
  

Podcast & Multimedia

• Lead the production of our PharmaSource podcast, including guest sourcing, interview prep, scripting, and coordination with audio editors

Ideal Candidate

• 3-6 years of experience in journalism, B2B content, or editorial roles, ideally in pharma, biotech, life sciences, or health tech
• Strong interviewing and writing skills, with the ability to translate complex topics into compelling content
• Experience producing podcasts, webinars, or event content (or a strong interest in learning)
• Comfortable speaking with senior industry experts and moderating interviews or panels
• Curious, organized, and self-starting - this role has high ownership
  
  

Nice To Have

• Familiarity with the drug development and manufacturing landscape (e.g., CDMOs, CMC, outsourcing models)
• Understanding of content analytics and audience engagement strategies
  
  

What We Offer

• Supportive, remote-first culture with flexible working
• Creative freedom and steering the editorial strategy of a growing media brand
• A collaborative, low-ego startup environment where your work has visible impact
