Principal Medical Writer

The primary responsibility of the Principal Medical Writer (PMW) is to ensure that all content developed is evidence-based, is of the highest editorial quality, meets the strategic objectives of our clients, and ultimately translates science into clinical benefit across medical education, communications, brand, and training. The PMW functions in support of a Scientific Director (ScD)/Senior Scientific Director (SrScD) and may act as the scientific team lead to provide scientific and medical expertise, strategies, and perspectives by staying abreast of the most up-to-date research and other changes in the marketplace that impact the therapeutic area and the Brand. The PMW is expected to partner effectively with Account Directors (Ads), Senior ADs (SADs) and Business Unit Directors/Senior Directors (SrDs) to translate the strategic, marketing, and educational objectives of our clients into compelling programs. The PMW may develop content as well as serve as the primary quality-control contact for internal and external content development. Line-management responsibility and coaching of medical-writing colleagues are also a key part of this role.
