  * Manage multiple projects simultaneously, balancing priorities and deadlines.

You Should Have

  * A degree in life sciences / biomedical sciences or similar; higher degree (MSc / PhD) is a plus.

  * Significant experience (e.g. 3-5+ years) in medical writing within a communications agency

  * Strong track record of producing publications, educational materials, HCP and patient-facing content.
