2. Articulate complex information clearly and concisely.
3. Evaluate and interpret source documents, developing appropriate tables and figures.
4. Provide copy editing, proofreading, and quality control reviews.
5. Collaborate with internal researchers and client teams to ensure scientific accuracy.
6. Participate remotely in client-facing project meetings as needed.
7. Incorporate reviewer comments to improve documents.
8. Address conflicting comments from authors and reviewers.
9. Perform online literature searches and summarize findings.
10. Coordinate journal/abstract submissions following guidelines and templates.
11. Contribute to internal thought leadership projects.

Qualifications:

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