New: Medical Writer (Remote UK/Hybrid possible) Innovative growing healthcare consulting firm

An exciting opportunity to join a growing consulting firm with one of the best staff retention rates in the healthcare/pharma space. Be part of a fun, people-focused culture where everyone looks out for each other, pulling in the same direction, finding a great balance between work and personal life.

The role would suit a medical writer who enjoys ‘hands-on’ writing, working in a collaborative, close-knit team. You will have an established leadership team to support your growth and development, with no pressure to be involved in sales/BD. The role provides good visibility in a mid-sized company and the chance to work on global projects.

Much of the company's work is repeat business and organic growth, with HEOR publications/manuscripts being a key deliverable for this new hire.

Role scope:

• Draft, revise, and finalize scientific materials, including abstracts for scientific conferences, scientific posters, slide decks for podium presentations, tables, figures, and data visualizations.
• Demonstrate the ability to articulate complex information clearly and concisely.
• Evaluate and interpret source documents accurately 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 accuracy and clarity of documents.
• 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 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.
