At Edelman Health we are on a mission to help the world's largest pharmaceutical companies and healthcare brands build and safeguard trust with an ever-growing audience of stakeholders, and show how their complex products deliver the thing we all value most - life.
The Health Team at Edelman strategically partner with clients to deliver global, regional and UK integrated campaigns for disease awareness, medical education, patient and employee engagement, digital communications, and much more!
The Role
Edelman is offering a position for a Principal Medical Writer to be embedded in our Health practice and lead work with some of the world’s most recognized health brands, newsworthy therapy areas and clients in the scientific, pharmaceutical and healthcare field. The role will give you the opportunity to work with clients at the forefront of communicating the most innovative therapies and products across markets, inspiring them to achieve excellence and helping them to engage and convince their target audiences.
With excellent medical writing skills, impeccable attention to detail and strong team leadership qualities your primary role will be to uphold the scientific integrity and quality control standards of writing, and help to deliver content ranging from reports to journal articles, videos, social media content and more, with strong scientific, medical or health policy themes, for audiences ranging from clinicians and regulators to patients and their families. With this in mind, we are looking for a Writer who understands complex medical and scientific issues and can explain them in a concise, engaging and accessible way to a broad range of target audiences – We will offer relevant training beyond the skillset of a traditional Medical Writer to ensure you are set up for success.
This role will be one of two dedicated Medical Writers and, whilst you will have the chance to work independently, we are looking for a Medical Writer who will be able to collaborate with the wider, and incredibly talented and high-performing, team who produce scientific and medical communications for the world stage. In return, this team offers you the freedom to have your own ideas, feedback on your role and on ways to improve business, in an environment that fosters entrepreneurial spirit.
So if you have keen interest in the most current healthcare issues affecting society, the latest medical and scientific advances and want to leverage this within the evolving landscape of communications to shape the direction, and voice, of communications, we would love to receive your application.
