About the role

We’re looking for an experienced Senior Medical Writer to join a global, exciting, medical affairs and commercial team focused on neurologic diseases.

Coaching junior writers will be an important part of the role as well - we have a passion for developing people and we hope you do too! Neurology experience is an advantage, but extensive medical affairs/commercial deliverable experience and motivation for a new role is more important.

You will partner with your peers, senior editorial team (ASD/SD/SSD), and CS to drive and grow the business. You will develop strong client and author relationships that enable you to make great, strategy-driven recommendations. You will co‑lead client and author calls and scientific meetings. The role offers opportunities to be a partner and trusted advisor to the client, with some travel for client meetings and events.

The Senior Medical Writer will report to a Lead Medical Writer and will coach and mentor junior members of the medical writing team.

• Several years’ experience working in a medical writing role within a medical communications agency environment
• Experience writing across a broad range of deliverables and formats for a variety of medical audiences
