A leading healthcare communications firm in London is seeking a Principal Medical Writer to lead the strategic account. You will craft engaging, scientifically accurate content for pharmaceutical brands and collaborate with medical directors and global specialists. The role requires a solid background in medical communications, a comprehensive understanding of the pharmaceutical industry, and expertise in high-science writing. A flexible hybrid working model is available.
Ogilvy was founded in 1948 by David Ogilvy. David created a culture that deeply respects and cares about its people and clients. Our mission is to inspire people and brands to make an impact and we are committed to attracting, growing, and retaining the best talent in the industry.
Ogilvy Health UK is made up of healthcare communication specialists across the disciplines of medical education and communications; brain sciences; brand promotion; digital and social; strategic planning; public relations; and creative/design. We believe we are like no other: we blaze new trails; we encourage a culture of creativity and innovation; we challenge, and we change; and we recognise and reward our team.
Ogilvy Health is seeking an exceptional Principal Medical Writer to join our dynamic team in the UK. This is a unique opportunity to lead on a high-profile, strategic account that spans comprehensive medical education and brand marketing communications. At Ogilvy Health, we combine scientific depth with creative communications to make a real impact on health outcomes. You'll join a collaborative environment where innovation thrives, and your expertise will be valued in shaping compelling scientific narratives for leading pharmaceutical brands.
As a Principal Medical Writer, you will play a pivotal role in driving the scientific narrative and content strategy for a key, fast-growing account. This account represents a significant investment and covers a diverse and extensive range of project types, delivered by an integrated medical education and brand marketing communications team. You will be instrumental in developing high value scientific content across various platforms, working closely with clients and top-tier global specialists.
Join a friendly, non‑hierarchical, and eclectic team united by a shared commitment to doing the best work of our lives (it's one of our values!). Beyond client work, you'll have opportunities to engage with our vibrant culture and social teams, and contribute to our fantastic DEI initiatives, championing diversity across our agency and industry.
We offer a flexible working hybrid model: 2 days in the office (all‑agency anchor days for collaboration and socialising) and 3 days working remotely from wherever you work best.
Our ambition is to attract the very best diverse talent to Ogilvy, and to be the employer of choice in the UK. We want everyone to feel welcome when they join us, and once they’re here, for them to want to stay with us, grow their career, and to feel they belong with us.
We are an equal opportunity employer and we’re committed to creating an inclusive, welcoming environment for everyone who wants to work at Ogilvy. For us, diversity, equity and inclusion is integrated into everything that we do. We believe that for creativity to flourish, everything about how we work must have diversity at its core. Your race, colour, ethnic, religion, gender, gender identity, national origin, sexual orientation, age, marital status, disability, have no bearing on our hiring decisions, but we encourage everyone to feel free to express their true selves in an environment we are consistently striving to make as inclusive as possible.
We aim to facilitate an accessible and positive application experience for all candidates. If you require any adjustments from us to support you through the process or expect to require any adjustments to working conditions to be able to best perform in the role, please let us know. We are happy to consider all reasonable adjustments.
If you live with a disability and you would like to take advantage of our offer of a guaranteed interview under the Disability Confident Scheme, please ensure you fill out our voluntary Equal Opportunities Questionnaire when applying.
