• Demonstrate the ability to articulate complex information clearly and concisely.
• Correctly evaluate and interpret source documents and develop appropriate tables and figures.
• Provide copy editing, proofreading, and quality control reviews for other writers and researchers.
• Collaborate with internal researchers and client teams to ensure scientific accuracy using protocols, study reports, results tables, and other source documents to develop outlines and draft documents.
• Participate remotely in client-facing project meetings as needed.
• Incorporate author and reviewer comments to improve document accuracy and clarity.
• Address, revise, and clarify conflicting or ambiguous comments from authors and reviewers.
• Perform online searches of clinical literature and summarize findings.
• Coordinate and complete journal/abstract submissions adhering to guidelines and templates.
• Contribute to internal thought leadership projects.

Qualifications:

• MSc or other advanced degree in a life science, public health, or health economics-related field.
• 2+ years of experience in a technical writing role, as a professional or student.
• Strong attention to detail, clarity, and scientific accuracy.
• Effective interpersonal and verbal communication skills.
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office (Word, PowerPoint, Excel).
• Proven experience writing for the pharmaceutical industry, public health, RWE, epidemiology, and/or HEOR is strongly preferred.
