Senior Medical Writer – Medical Education - United States
2 days ago
Job description
Role Overview:
We're expanding the Medical Affairs Scientific Services team with senior medical writers who can also function as content leads for high impact HCP education. You'll bring deep therapeutic expertise (priority: hematology/oncology, plus non-malignant heme and rare diseases) and own end-to-end content development across digital, live virtual, and in-person HCP education.
You won't just write, you'll own the scientific story across digital, live virtual, and in-person programs. You'll synthesize data into compelling educational narratives, apply adult learning principles, guide slide and module structure, collaborate with faculty KOLs, and partner closely with internal producers, editors, and design.
You'll thrive here if you're decisive, organized, unflappable under deadlines ("Metscape fast"), and comfortable operating with startup-style agility inside a large, established organization.
Scope and Duration:
Scope: ~15-20 hours/week with ability to ramp up
Duration: Initial 6-month term, high performers often continue long-term
What You'll Do:
Medical Writing & Content Development
- Create accurate, high-quality scientific content for physicians, nurses, pharmacists, and other HCPs
- Build PowerPoint decks, speaker notes, text modules, and supporting assets for:
- Webinars & virtual programs
- Live programs & symposium highlights
- Podcasts and multi-format education
- Distill large source decks (e.g., 60–100 conference slides) into clear 10–15-slide educational stories with focused objectives and takeaways
- Stay current on guidelines, pipelines, and key literature in assigned disease areas
Instructional Design & Medical Education
- Apply adult learning principles to content flow, interactivity, and reinforcement
- Develop learning objectives, outlines, agendas, and assessment questions (polls, surveys, knowledge checks)
- Translate complex data into accessible visuals; guide designers on chart selection and permissions-friendly approaches
Faculty & Stakeholder Collaboration
- Partner directly with faculty/KOLs: ask the right scientific questions, shape narratives, and uphold rigor
- Align content with program goals and client expectations; diplomatically negotiate scope (e.g., realistic slide counts for allotted time)
- Work cross-functionally with Medical Science Directors, producers, editors, and creative teams
Project Leadership & Delivery
- Lead content work streams from kickoff through delivery across multiple concurrent projects
- Manage evolving inputs (late-breaking data, faculty availability) and hit aggressive timelines
- Maintain documentation, references, and version control across shared systems
Required Qualifications
- Proven experience creating HCP education (digital, live, or hybrid) at a medical education, MedComms, or Medical Affairs organization
- Hands-on slide-led programming experience (webinars, live programs, symposium highlights)
- Deep expertise in at least one priority area:
- Hematology/Oncology (prostate cancer a plus)
- Non-malignant hematology
- Rare diseases
- Demonstrated ability to lead faculty conversations and make story/structure recommendations rooted in adult learning
- Excellent written and verbal communication; meticulous referencing and editorial standards
- Advanced PowerPoint skills; strong Microsoft Office proficiency
- Degree: Advanced degree preferred (MD, PhD, PharmD, RN/NP/PA); BS with significant relevant experience considered
- Work style: self-directed, resourceful, deadline-driven; comfortable asking questions early
Nice to Have
- Prior Medical Affairs experience and familiarity with MA deliverables
- Symposium highlights and rapid congress content distillation
- Tools: Workfront, SharePoint/Google Drive, Box; EndNote/ReadCube
- Experience with AI-assisted research or outlining (with strong human QA)
- Multilingual capabilities
