If you’ve worked your way into a senior role and quietly noticed that the writing — the part you’re best at, the part you got into this for — keeps getting crowded out by everything else, then read on.
We’re growing the team within our Agency Support vertical — the part of Word Monster that provides medical writing services to medical communications agencies and pharmaceutical company clients — and we’re looking for a Principal Medical Writer who wants their hands back on the page. This is a writing-led role at its core: real briefs, real variety, real science — with the room to lead, mentor and shape how we work as we build the team out.
Reasons to use Rodeo
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.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

As Principal Medical Writer, you’ll sit within our Agency Support vertical — providing high-quality medical writing services to medical communications agencies and pharmaceutical company clients. You’ll be a scientific lead across accounts, producing scientifically accurate content and setting the standard for the writers around you. This role carries a significant tilt towards quality control as well as writing: alongside your own work, you’ll review and QC content to a consistently high bar, and manage the work of a pool of experienced freelance writers — briefing them, coordinating output and holding it to account so clients get a seamless result every time.
