Medical Writers

Due to ambitious growth plans and the professional development of our team, we are looking to hire a number of experienced Medical Writers (at a variety of levels).

Whatever level you join us at, your role will be truly varied, giving you the opportunity to expand your experience further than just the hands-on writing of publications or slide decks.

Given our collaborative multi-office approach, you could be based in either London or Copenhagen, or be 100% remotely-based. We are also open to part-time working patterns (please see below for more information).

**Your responsibilities will be dependent upon level, but will include**:

- Working independently and with more senior writers to research, write and quality control scientific documents for a range of purposes and platforms (e.g., slide kits, publications, newsletters, conference materials)
- Developing and maintaining professional relations with opinion leaders
- Assisting, supporting or driving new business development
- Successfully managing client relationships
- Mentoring and coaching more junior writers

At AXON we actively encourage the team to be involved in activities outside of their day-to-day work. Whether that’s being involved in our social, marketing or CSR Electives, attending networking events, or running training sessions on topics they have a personal interest in (some recent examples include mindfulness and nutrition). We have a keen focus on training and development and as a rough guide, suggest employees aim to complete 37.5 hours of learning a year. Whether that be through online learning, classroom training, or attending external events, that’s one week a year dedicated to your development.
- Relevant writing experience spent in a medical communications/pharmaceutical environment
- Broad knowledge of therapy areas (preferably in diabetes and/or oncology)
- Flawless attention to detail and excellent quality control skills
- Strong scientific background, educated to a minimum degree level in life sciences (MSc/PhD advantageous)
- A passion for communications and science
- Strong organisational and time management skills
- Excellent interpersonal and teamwork skills
- A proactive solutions-focussed attitude
- Strong IT skills, being comfortable with Microsoft packages such as Word, PowerPoint and Excel

**Equal Opportunities**

**COVID-19 and Work Location**

Whilst our employees are currently predominantly working from home, we will move to a hybrid model of working in the future across our office locations.

We anticipate that some of our team will start returning to the office in the coming months. We will ensure that our office remains COVID-secure and in line with government guidance are conducting risk assessments and putting precautions in place to ensure the safety and wellbeing of our staff.

This said, we want to create an inclusive environment for a diverse workforce and we know that everyone has different needs. We therefore offer flexible working and are open to having a conversation around what flexibility means for you (considering work location and working patterns).
