Job description

Overview

At JPP, no two weeks look the same. One day you might be helping a biotech startup sharpen its value proposition. The next, you're building a LinkedIn campaign for a CRO, preparing a conference strategy for a CDMO, or helping organize a webinar attended by life sciences professionals from across Europe. If you enjoy variety, ownership, learning new things, and seeing the direct impact of your work, you'll feel at home here. You'll help ambitious life sciences companies answer a simple question: "How do we get the right people to notice us?"

Responsibilities

• Creating content people actually want to read
• Building campaigns that support real business objectives
• Translating complex science into clear communication
• Helping clients prepare for conferences, webinars, and industry events
• Researching markets, competitors, and commercial opportunities
• Working with AI tools to create smarter, faster marketing workflows
• Turning ideas from workshops into practical marketing actions
• Collaborating with our BD team to connect visibility with commercial outcomes
• Challenging assumptions and bringing your own ideas to the table

This isn't a role where you'll spend your days moving tickets between columns or sitting in endless internal meetings. We expect you to think, ask questions, spot opportunities, and help clients tell better stories and build more traction in the market. You'll work directly with biotech companies, CROs, CDMOs, medtech companies, and other innovators across the life sciences industry.

At JPP, some projects involve startups preparing for growth, while others are established companies looking to sharpen their commercial strategy. No two projects are the same, and that is exactly why we like it.

Qualifications

• Degree in Life Sciences
• 2-5 years of experience
• Ability to turn complex science into clear, engaging content
• Writing experience for LinkedIn with a strong grasp of what makes updates work
• Good eye for design and ability to create or brief strong visual assets
• Comfortable working on websites
• AI‑savvy with knowledge of LLMs to work faster and think sharper
• Initiative, good questioning skills, and enjoyment of figuring things out
• Experience working with innovative biotech, pharma, medtech, CRO, and CDMO companies
• Desire to build experience as an all‑round marketer and contribute in a role with responsibility, freedom, and room to shape JPP

Flexible working and a practical, no‑nonsense team culture.
