Writing of manuscripts, posters, abstracts, slide decks, and /or other deliverables requiring scientific/medical writing support, for example, scientific platforms, workshop scripts, etc, on an as-needed basis

working as directed to identify and obtain required/helpful background materials, including from client, sufficient for completion of projects to the highest level of scientific rigor and insight (e.g., study data, client market research/plans, landscape/competitor analysis, etc)

assisting and working with graphics and editorial support staff to provide necessary background and technical information required to complete tasks

assisting in the onboarding and mentoring of new and junior medical writers, as required

5% of your time may be devoted to assisting the Senior Scientific Account Lead and/or GMC Senior Leadership with business development activities including but not limited to, responsibility for:

Background research and writing support for new business proposals

What you need:

Advanced degree, preferably PhD but PharmD and MD may also be considered
