At Sciterion
At Sciterion, we’re looking for strategic scientific thinkers who go beyond the data. People who instinctively ask: what does this evidence mean in practice, how will it influence clinical behaviour, and where can it have the greatest impact?
Do you want to lead, not just deliver? How will you shape scientific strategy across medical affairs—from pre-launch through to launch and beyond—lead high-value discussions with senior stakeholders, and confidently challenge thinking with a clear, evidence-based point of view.
We’re hiring for Senior Medical Writers who will shape content and drive scientific strategy.
The role
You will be responsible for the creation of high-quality medical content, to meet and exceed our client's project objectives and to ensure our work is delivered on time and to budget. Working across a range of therapy areas you will provide strategic direction on a wide range of accounts.
