Breaking Data is seeking an experienced Medical Copywriter (or a medical writer with strong promotional experience) to develop content from brief/outline through polished, MLR‑ready copy for our pharmaceutical and biotech clients. The ideal candidate delivers clean, well‑organized, fully referenced manuscripts with a clear hierarchy—headlines, subheads, body copy, callouts, tables, captions, and labeled figures—and can work confidently across promotional, educational, disease‑state, and training materials.

The ideal candidate also demonstrates the ability to identify opportunities where figures, charts, graphs, or medical imagery can reinforce key points; the design team will refine and place visuals in layout, but thoughtful recommendations based on the copy are expected to support clarity and storytelling. This role sits at the intersection of creative copy and rigorous medical accuracy and requires the ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously in a fast‑paced, growing agency environment.

• 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.
• Support MLR submissions by aligning claims to source data, organizing annotated drafts, and implementing internal and MLR feedback with precision.
• Adapt writing to each client’s brand voice and strategy while maintaining scientific rigor and consistency across channels and assets.
• Manage multiple projects and timelines simultaneously in a fast-paced environment, communicating status, risks, and needs clearly to the team.
• Collaborate with strategy, account, editorial, and design teams, especially on in‑office days, to clarify briefs, review work, and move projects efficiently through rounds.

• 5 to 7+ years of experience in medical writing or pharma copywriting for pharmaceutical/life sciences clients (agency, in‑house, or freelance), including work on promotional assets. Strong command of medical and scientific terminology and comfort working with clinical trial data, mechanisms of action, and disease‑state content.
• Demonstrated ability to produce fully referenced, annotated, and anchored copy prepared for…
