Discover Impactful Work
As a Medical Writer in the Medical Writing and Healthcare Communications team, you will write publications and other scientific communications for internal scientific collaborators and external biotech and pharmaceutical clients. In this position, you will draw on your interests and experience in science, communication, and project management.

You will go beyond simply disclosing information to producing documents that tell a story and, in the end, help improve patient care. You will need to master not only scientific writing but also project management and interpersonal communication. You will be challenged to work at a high level, but you won’t be doing it alone - you will be part of, and be able to benefit from, a team of dynamic and experienced writers.

On a daily basis, you will write, edit, and handle publications and other scientific communications (e.g., posters, abstracts, slide decks, white papers, and plain language summaries). You will need to work on multiple projects concurrently while remaining on time and within budget and complying with industry standards and internal processes. You will work in close collaboration with a line manager and senior reviewer, will be expected to help solve problems, and will frequently collaborate and communicate with scientists, coauthors, and other stakeholders.
