Senior Medical Writer – Value Communications & HEOR

Location: UK – Remote

About the opportunity

A growing specialist HEOR & Access consultancy is looking for a Senior Medical Writer to join its Value Communications / HEOR team.

This is a hands-on role for an experienced medical writer who wants to do more than simply edit or quality-check content. You will be responsible for creating high-quality content yourself, leading writing projects from start to finish, and turning complex scientific and technical outputs into clear, compelling, client-ready deliverables.

The team works across a broad range of Value & Access projects, including systematic literature reviews, evidence synthesis, indirect treatment comparisons, value dossiers, value messaging, health economic and budget impact modelling, and other market access deliverables.

The successful candidate will play an important role in raising the overall standard of written and visual communication across the team, while also helping to develop more junior colleagues.

The role

You will take ownership of the written output across a range of client projects, working closely with HEOR, evidence synthesis, market access and other technical specialists.

A key part of the role will be taking complex technical material and developing the narrative, writing the content and shaping the final story - not simply reviewing what someone else has produced.

You will also be responsible for ensuring that work produced across the wider team is of a consistently high standard before it reaches the client.

Key responsibilities

• Lead and deliver medical / value communications projects from initial brief through to final client delivery.
• Create original content yourself , including reports, slide decks, scientific narratives, value communications and other client deliverables.
• Translate complex technical outputs from areas such as HEOR, SLRs and evidence synthesis into clear, concise and compelling client-facing content.
• Take ownership of the structure and narrative of deliverables rather than simply writing to an existing template.
• Work closely with technical subject-matter experts to understand the evidence and develop the strongest possible story.
• Review, edit and quality-check work produced by other team members, ensuring accuracy, consistency, clarity and overall presentation quality.
• Take technically strong but unfinished material and enhance it into polished, client-ready work .
• Improve the structure, flow, language, formatting and visual presentation of reports and presentations.
• Ensure deliverables are consistent with client expectations and the consultancy's quality standards.
• Identify opportunities to improve the way the team communicates complex evidence and market access insights.
• Support and coach junior team members on writing, structure, storytelling, presentation and overall communication quality.
• Help develop internal best practice around medical writing and client communications.
• Contribute to client meetings, workshops and presentations where appropriate.

What we're looking for

• Around 5+ years' experience in medical writing, value communications, HEOR or a closely related consultancy environment
• Strong experience working within a life sciences / pharmaceutical consultancy or agency.
• Demonstrable experience producing high-quality written content rather than purely editing or project managing other people's work.
• Strong scientific writing skills, with the ability to understand complex technical information and communicate it clearly.
• Experience working with content such as SLRs, evidence synthesis, HEOR analyses, value dossiers, market access materials or similar technical outputs .
• Excellent PowerPoint and report-writing skills, with a strong eye for structure and presentation.
• Able to move comfortably between senior writer, editor and quality-checker depending on what a project requires.
• Strong attention to detail without losing sight of the bigger picture and overall client message.
• Confident working with senior technical colleagues and challenging or improving content where required.
• Experience mentoring, coaching or developing more junior writers or consultants would be highly advantageous.

This role is particularly suited to someone who:

• Enjoys writing and creating content , rather than seeing writing as a secondary part of their role.
• Has high standards and naturally spots where a piece of work could be clearer, sharper or better presented.
• Can take a technically correct but rough deliverable and turn it into something that is genuinely client-ready .
• Is comfortable giving constructive feedback and helping others improve.
• Can work independently but enjoys collaborating with technical experts and wider project teams.
• Wants to have a visible impact on the quality of the consultancy's client work - lots of room to grow in a steadily scaling, innovative, people focused company!

Why join?

You will join a growing specialist consultancy where quality, collaboration, innovation and integrity are central to the way the business operates. The company works with pharmaceutical and biotech clients across a broad range of HEOR & Access challenges and combines expertise across health economics, statistics, clinical research and evidence synthesis.

This is an opportunity to have a genuine influence on how the team's work is communicated to clients , while continuing to develop your own writing expertise and taking on greater responsibility for the development of others.

If you're a strong medical writer who wants to be closer to the substance of the work, take ownership of deliverables and help raise the quality of an entire team, we'd like to hear from you.
