About the role
We’re looking for a Scientific Director to lead global, exciting and fast-paced publications teams in thrombolytics and respiratory. You will partner with senior global clients on high-impact publications and publications strategy, plus some medical affairs. Overseeing junior writers is an important part of the role - we have a passion for developing people and we hope you do too! Lytics/respiratory experience is an advantage, but motivation for the role is more important. This is a great opportunity to take the next step into senior account leadership, build deep relationships with clients, and lead a large, supportive, fun team.
Here's what you'll do:
As a Scientific Director, you will be responsible for accurate and high-quality scientific content across your workstream. You will be a senior scientific leader of a well-established team and will partner with the scientific and CS leads to streamline processes, manage resourcing, mentor and review work, enable high quality delivery and grow the business. You will develop your own content across diverse publications deliverables, and oversee, support and motivate a global team of medical writers to do the same. You will develop strong client and author relationships that enable you to make great, strategy-driven suggestions. You will lead client and author calls and scientific meetings. You will have a growth mindset and work with the agency leadership on account growth and innovating our client offerings. The role offers opportunities to be a partner and trusted advisor to the client, with some travel for client meetings and events.
The Scientific Director will report to the VP, Scientific Services and will line manage junior members of the medical writing team.
About you:
To succeed you will have:
- A number of years’ experience working in a medical writing leadership role, including publications, within a medical communications agency environment.
- Experience writing across a broad range of deliverables and formats for a variety of medical audiences.
