Medical Writer II

ICON is a global healthcare intelligence and clinical research organisation united by a mission to bring new medicines and treatments to patients faster.

As a values-driven organisation, integrity, collaboration, agility, and inclusion are at the heart of how we work and interact with each other, customers, patients and suppliers.

About the Role

As a Medical Writer II at ICON, you will be involved in the development and preparation of clinical trial documents, regulatory submissions, and scientific publications, contributing to the advancement of innovative treatments and therapies.

This role requires relevant medical writing experience. As a Medical Writer II, a background in researching, developing, and writing for the diverse array of deliverables within medical publications and medical communications is an integral foundation for this role. While prior experience is helpful, ample onboarding, training, and interactive review of assigned work and progress in the role will be provided and actively managed.

Key Responsibilities

  • Content Development and Writing
    • Accurate interpretation of clinical data and its adaptation to meet assigned projects’ stated objectives.
    • Compliance with all relevant requirements for medical publications and medical communications.
    • Representing assigned work at internal and external meetings.
    • Understanding client publication and communication plans.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
