Senior Medical Director

Job Description

At Vio , we believe healthcare communications should be as bold and transformative as the science behind them. By combining data, insights, and creativity, we translate knowledge into action - delivering impactful strategies that inspire, resonate, and drive behavior change.

We're seeking a Senior Medical Director to join our team of curious thinkers and innovative strategists. This is an exciting opportunity for someone ready to take ownership of client relationships, lead scientific storytelling, and shape the future of health communications.

What You'll Do

As a Senior Medical Director, you'll take the lead in guiding the medical vision for assigned brands. With independence and authority, you'll serve as a trusted resource for both internal teams and clients - ensuring that science, strategy, and creativity come together seamlessly.

You will:

• Own the day-to-day medical leadership of multiple accounts, building credibility as a trusted partner for clients.
• Critically review and guide content to ensure accuracy, consistency, and alignment with brand strategy.
• Translate complex science into compelling communications that capture the "medical hook" of a brand.
• Lead medically driven insights for pitches, crafting immersion sections and contributing to live presentations.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams - brand, strategy, creative, and engagement - to deliver impactful, audience-centric solutions.
• Act as a mentor and guide for junior medical team members, fostering growth and high-quality work.
• Stay ahead of the curve by monitoring emerging literature and industry developments, bringing fresh insights to clients and teams.

What You Bring

• Advanced degree (MS, MD, PhD, or PharmD) in a clinical or scientific discipline.
• Extensive experience (typically 6+ years) in medical communications or healthcare marketing, with a proven ability to lead medical strategy.
• Strong scientific expertise and the ability to communicate complex ideas in a clear, audience-appropriate way.
• Strategic insight with a track record of aligning medical perspectives with client business objectives.
• Confidence leading client discussions, brand planning workshops, and cross-functional team interactions.
• Leadership skills to guide and mentor junior team members, while still excelling as an independent contributor.
• Acute attention to detail and the ability to anticipate needs, plan efficiently, and deliver under deadlines.

Why Vio?

At Vio , we don't believe in one-size-fits-all solutions. We:

• Align science, strategy, and creativity to create content that's accurate, relatable, and strategically powerful.
• Tailor our approach to each client's unique challenges, ensuring solutions that are both innovative and effective.
• Engage audiences with precision, delivering meaningful experiences through omnichannel strategies.
• Belong to the IPG Health network - a global powerhouse that offers unmatched resources, talent, and opportunity.

You'll join a team with a healthy obsession for innovation and impact - and a culture that celebrates curiosity, collaboration, and big ideas.
