Consultant Medical Writer

This role will offer you the opportunity to support our Global Health Economics team as a Consultant Medical Writer and be part of our HTA Evidence & Strategy Centre of Excellence and Value Communications Centre of Excellence.

This role focusses on medical writing for health economic and outcome research (HEOR) and HTA purposes, where you will be responsible for writing tasks within projects and work with a senior team to co-manage small workstreams, project tasks and thought leadership initiatives.

Typical projects include medical writing for EU Joint Clinical Assessment (JCA) dossiers, HTA dossiers (predominantly NICE, SMC, NCPE), global value dossiers (GVDs), payer objection handlers, payer value stories/messaging, literature review protocols and reports, reports for evidence synthesis and health economic modelling studies, and HEOR-focused peer-review manuscripts and conference abstracts. The audience for the project deliverables will be various life-sciences customers as well as healthcare payers, providers, and regulators. You will work within a team of highly experienced health economists and outcomes research specialists providing support across a range of HEOR projects, working in a cross-functional and cross-country project team, providing medical writing, undertaking quality control, and contributing to the management of project delivery (including guiding and reviewing the work of more junior team members).

The role will expose the candidate to the broad range of payer-focused offerings in value communications, HTA strategy and HEOR to support in business development opportunities. An ideal candidate will have a good understanding of the matrix structure typical of our clients in the pharmaceutical industry and how to successfully navigate this structure to achieve clients' aims. Furthermore, the candidate should demonstrate an ability to interpret clinical, economic and real-world evidence and translate findings into compelling value narratives and payer focused communication strategies to optimize a product's access to markets and its reimbursement.
