Medical Copywriter

Responsibilities

• Develop medically accurate copy from outline/brief through refined, MLR-ready versions for a range of pharma deliverables, including HCP and consumer promotional materials, disease state content, educational resources, training, and other client communications.
• Create layout-ready manuscripts with clear hierarchy (headlines, subheads, body copy, callouts, tables, figures, captions) that can transition directly into design.
• Identify and recommend figures, charts, graphs, and medical imagery that enhance clarity and storytelling, in collaboration with the design team.
• Participate in client-facing discussions to present and explain your work, clearly defend and substantiate references, claims, and content decisions, and respond thoughtfully to client questions and feedback.
• Review designed pieces to ensure the layout accurately reflects the approved manuscript, that copy and references are carried over correctly, and that the design continues to support the original intent.
• Keep design implications in mind when making client or MLR edits to already-designed pieces, ensuring revisions remain clear, accurate, and workable in layout.
• Translate complex clinical and scientific information into clear, compelling narratives tailored to different audiences (HCPs, patients/consumers, internal teams).
• Ensure all content is accurate, current, and grounded in credible sources, with anchors, superscripts, annotations, and reference lists consistent with AMA style and pharma promotional standards.

• Minimum 5 years of medical writing experience in a healthcare agency, pharmaceutical company, or medical communications environment.
• Strong understanding of clinical concepts, medical terminology, and pharmaceutical accuracy standards.
• Demonstrated ability to create layout-ready manuscripts with a clear hierarchy for design teams.
• Proven experience producing fully referenced, accurately anchored, scientifically supported content.
• Ability to produce both long-form narrative content and concise short-form copy.
• Exceptional attention to detail, organizational skill, and medical accuracy.
• Ability to deliver clean drafts with minimal oversight and meet deadlines confidently.
• Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field (life sciences, pharmacy, nursing, public health, communications, or related).

• Advanced degrees (Pharm
  
  D, PhD, MS, MPH) are a plus but not required for strong writers with solid pharma experience.
