Do you have experience delivering publications or medical affairs projects? Do you enjoy building and maintaining client relationships? Costello Medical are growing their team due to demand from both new and existing clients and are looking for candidates with prior experience in medical communications who enjoy content delivery and project management to join us as Senior Analysts and Senior Medical Writers.

Senior Analysts and Senior Medical Writers take a leading role across projects and work alongside the teams to ensure that client deliverables are created to a high standard, in line with agreed timelines. This involves providing strategic advice to clients at project initiation, supervision of the project team and regular interaction with clients. They are central to the quality control of a project, involving the review of colleagues’ work and the provision of constructive feedback.

Our Medical Communications sub-teams collaborate closely, which means you will have the opportunity to work across the following project types:

• Publications: Including strategic publication planning, poster design and production of manuscripts, abstract development, and more
• Medical Affairs: Including delivering advisory boards, creating medical information materials, providing congress support, organising medical education events, developing medical education materials, and more

You will play an integral role in supporting business development by cultivating and sustaining strong client relationships, as well as identifying opportunities to offer additional services within existing projects. As you advance in this position, you may be entrusted with increased responsibility for managing client relationships, preparing budgets and overseeing project finances, as well as acting as a line manager for interns within your team.

We believe that having face-to-face time in the office holds many benefits and is central to ensuring that the community we have created, where people have a workplace they belong to and feel part of, is never lost. At the same time, we recognise that homeworking can improve work life balance, reduce commuting times and costs, and provide the opportunity to juggle personal commitments.

Therefore, we offer flexible working arrangements that allow colleagues who have passed probation to work from home up to half their time, measured across a 2-week rolling period. During your probationary period (normally the first 6 months of the role), you will be able to work from home 1 day per week.
