Senior Medical Copywriter I

The Senior Medical Copywriter I is a trusted figure in the copywriting team, responsible for helping clients and colleagues navigate the maze of scientific language to find the compelling human truths at the centre. In this role you will be called on to pick apart a scientific paper, and to translate data and academia-speak for a range of audiences. Then, once you've turned the science into persuasive, emotive copy, you'll be able to reference it solidly enough to survive contact with even the strictest medical review.

In this role you will further develop your skills by taking a leading role on a number of projects, with the support of a Scientific Director, and contribute to the ongoing development of more junior writers by reviewing their work and providing guidance and mentorship.

• Establishes strong relationships with client teams and account leads
• Leads medical-related discussions with clients and colleagues with support from senior peers where needed; advises regarding narratives and portfolio messaging development
• Works with copywriters, art directors and designers to ensure medical and creative alignment; informs development of relevant themes and accurate, engaging work
• Checks the work and mentors junior/mid-level members of the medical copywriting team; provides feedback and support to peers
• Understands brand strategy and ensures it is clearly and cohesively applied across materials

Qualifications include:

• Proven experience in a medical copywriting role, demonstrating responsibility for maintaining high scientific and copywriting standards across multiple accounts
• A solid scientific background (you should hold at least a bachelor's degree in the life sciences)
• Expertise in healthcare advertising, with a thorough understanding of ABPI regulations
