• Demonstrate an 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
• Methodically incorporate author and reviewer comments to improve document accuracy and clarity
• Address, revise, and clarify conflicting and/or ambiguous comments from authors and reviewers
• Perform online searches of clinical literature and summarize findings
• Coordinate and complete journal/abstract submissions following 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
