Conference & Webinar Programming

• Help develop the content agenda for live events including CDMO Live, through topic research, speaker recruitment, and programme development
• Moderate or host webinars, panel discussions, and interviews with senior industry figures
• Work closely with events and marketing teams to promote content before, during, and after each event

Podcast & Multimedia

• Lead production of the PharmaSource Podcast: source guests, prepare interviews, draft scripts, and manage production logistics
• Conduct interviews in both audio and video formats, supporting wider multimedia storytelling efforts
• Produce supporting content such as show notes, summaries, and promotional materials

Ideal Candidate

• 3–6 years of experience in journalism, B2B content, or editorial roles, ideally within pharma, biotech, life sciences or related industry sector
• Excellent interviewing and writing skills, with the ability to communicate complex topics in a clear and engaging manner
• Experience producing webinars, podcasts, or event-related content — or a strong desire to learn
• Confident engaging with senior industry professionals and leading conversations, both recorded and live
• A proactive, well-organised self-starter who thrives in a fast-paced, entrepreneurial environment
• Willingness to embrace and experiment with AI-powered tools to optimise editorial processes
• Familiarity with content tools such as WordPress, Canva, Descript, or AI writing platforms
• An understanding of drug development and manufacturing (e.g. CDMOs, CMC, regulatory trends, outsourcing models) - and curiosity to learn
• A data-informed mindset with an interest in content performance and audience engagement strategies

What We Offer

• A supportive, remote-first culture with flexibility and autonomy
• Creative freedom and the opportunity to shape the editorial strategy of a growing media brand
