AI Lead – Medical Communications

Location: Hybrid or Remote (United States)

Function: Digital, Innovation & Medical Strategy

About the role

We are seeking an AI Lead to drive the strategic, compliant, and scalable use of artificial intelligence across our US Medical Communications agency. This role sits at the intersection of medical content, client strategy, digital innovation, and governance, ensuring AI enhances scientific quality, efficiency, and insight while meeting US regulatory and compliance standards.

This is not a purely technical role. You will focus on AI strategy, use‑case development, governance, enablement, and client‑facing innovation within a highly regulated healthcare environment.

Key responsibilities

• Define and lead the agency’s AI strategy and roadmap for the US market
• Identify, prioritize, and scale AI use cases across medical writing, scientific services, insights, and operations
• Serve as the internal AI subject matter expert for Med Comms leadership and client teams
• Partner with medical writers, editors, strategists, and account teams to embed AI into content workflows
• Ensure AI use supports scientific rigor, critical appraisal, and storytelling, not content automation alone
• Develop standards for AI‑assisted literature review, data synthesis, content drafting, and insight generation

Governance, compliance & risk

• Establish and oversee AI governance frameworks aligned with:
• FDA promotional regulations
• HIPAA and data privacy requirements
• Client‑specific compliance and SOPs
• Define validation, documentation, auditability, and acceptable‑use guidelines for AI tools
• Monitor evolving US guidance and industry expectations around AI in healthcare communications
• Support client discussions on AI‑enabled medical and scientific solutions
• Contribute to pitches, proposals, and innovation‑led client engagements
• Act as a trusted advisor on responsible AI use in US pharma and biotech communications
• Lead AI education, training, and change management across US teams
• Build confidence and capability in both medical and non‑medical roles
• Foster a culture of experimentation grounded in compliance and quality

About you

• Experience in medical communications, pharma, biotech, healthcare, or life sciences consulting
• Strong understanding of AI / Generative AI concepts and practical applications
• Experience working in FDA‑regulated and compliance‑driven environments
• Ability to translate AI capabilities into clear, compliant, and valuable solutions
• Excellent stakeholder management and client‑facing communication skills
• Background in medical writing, scientific strategy, or healthcare data/analytics
• Experience with AI governance, validation, or responsible AI frameworks
• Familiarity with HIPAA, data privacy, and promotional compliance considerations
• Advanced degree in life sciences (PhD, MD, PharmD, MPH) or equivalent experience

What we offer

• A senior role shaping how AI is responsibly used in US medical communications
• High visibility with agency leadership and US pharma/biotech clients
• Flexible working arrangements
• Competitive salary, bonus, and benefits package
• Ongoing investment in learning, innovation, and AI capability building

Why this role matters

AI is rapidly changing how medical communications are developed and delivered in the US. This role ensures AI is applied ethically, compliantly, and intelligently, enhancing scientific quality while maintaining trust with regulators, clients, and healthcare audiences.
