Senior Medical Writer

Position Title: Senior Medical Content Writer Assignment Duration: 3 Months Work Schedule: Monday through Friday, 8am to 4pm Work Arrangement: Hybrid (Tue-Wed-Thu in office) Position Summary: We are looking for a Senior Medical Content Writer who can do the hardest kind of writing in pharma: claims. You will develop, substantiate, and annotate promotional and educational claims, and write the medical content that carries them — accurately, clearly, and in a way that survives MLR review without losing its edge. You will work embedded in an in-house creative studio, alongside creative directors and designers, which means your writing needs to work as creative material, not just as reference text. Key Responsibilities: Draft, refine, and substantiate promotional and non-promotional claims grounded in clinical data, prescribing information, and peer-reviewed literature. Build annotated references and claim substantiation packages ready for MLR submission. Write medical content across formats: HCP materials, patient education, disease-state content, congress panels, digital assets, video scripts, and sales materials. Ensure fair balance, accurate ISI integration, and on-label alignment in all promotional content. Partner with medical affairs and regulatory reviewers to resolve claim language efficiently; anticipate objections and offer compliant alternatives proactively. Collaborate with creative directors and designers so that copy and visual concepts develop together rather than sequentially. Maintain claim libraries and reference databases to accelerate reuse across the portfolio. Qualification & Experience: 5–8 years of medical writing experience in pharma, biotech, or a medical communications agency, with direct experience writing and substantiating claims. Deep familiarity with the MLR review process and what makes claims approvable: substantiation standards, referencing conventions, and common reviewer objections. Strong command of AMA style and the ability to read and accurately interpret clinical trial data, publications, and prescribing information. Understanding of FDA/OPDP promotional regulations, fair balance requirements, and ISI standards. Range as a writer: able to move between rigorous scientific accuracy and accessible, engaging language for different audiences (HCP, patient, internal). Meticulous attention to detail in referencing, annotation, and version control. Nice to Have Advanced degree in life sciences (PharmD, PhD, MS) or equivalent scientific depth. Experience with Veeva Vault PromoMats annotation workflows. Oncology, immunology, or biologics therapeutic area experience. Experience working inside an in-house studio or embedded content team. #J-18808-Ljbffr
