Job description

Company description

Bartle Bogle Hegarty (BBH) is a world-famous creative agency that makes jaw-dropping, thumb-stopping, eye-opening work for brands across the globe. Founded in London in 1982, we now have offices in New York, Los Angeles, Stockholm, Mumbai, Singapore, and Shanghai. Our first ad for Levi's showed a black sheep travelling in the opposite direction to a flock of white ones. That's where we got our logo and our guiding philosophy: when the world zigs, zag. Why? Because it's easy to zig, to go with the grain. It feels safe. It feels like the sensible thing to do. But the greater risk is failing to stand out. We believe in the power of difference to make a difference.

Our goal is a simple one: make the best work in the world. That's where you come in. We need rebels, dreamers, thinkers, mathematicians, makers, artists, visionaries, doers, observers, the different and the unreasonable. We need Black Sheep. People who want to make the hearts flutter and minds do flips, who can change businesses and culture. People who want to make a difference, come here for something different.

Overview

We're looking for a medical writer with promotional agency experience. Either midweight with 2+ years experience and looking to step up, or senior with 3+ years experience looking for a new challenge. This person should be comfortable working independently to create content for a (largely HCP) audience that should be as engaging as it is scientifically accurate. This means:

• Presenting and communicating - Directly to client and conversing with review teams to ensure work is approvable. You should have strong communication skills to relay key information back to the wider team.
• Collaborating - Liaising with the medical/creative teams and account handlers to ensure all content is expressed in the optimal way for the brief.
• Maintaining a high standard - In terms of consistency and style to ensure that our messaging remains on-brand, and providing editorial support as needed.
• Researching and understanding - Having a strong grasp of the science behind the brand, communicating that understanding internally to different departments, and of course, adeptly referencing the literature to support your content.
• Pitching - There may be some opportunity to get involved with future pitch work - researching therapy areas, playing an active role in internal discussions, and presenting.
• Supporting the growth of others - Overseeing the work of more junior Medical Writers to support their growth and development.

Responsibilities

Skills needed:

• Hold a Healthcare/Biological Sciences degree.
• Prior evidence of being lead writer on accounts (e.g. main person responsible for content on sales aid, website, objection handler).
• Outstanding attention to detail.
• Passion for storytelling within the world of science.
• Creatively minded with a good understanding of data visualisation and design.
• Fully trained in Veeva Vault Promomats.

Bonus skills:

• Mentored or has a desire to mentor more junior writers.
• Knowledge/experience of the US market.
