pobl. is an independent talent consultancy specialising in medical communications. We're working with a top international med comms agency to recruit multiple Senior Medical Writers for their London office — for writers who specialise in publications, medical affairs, or a mix of both. These roles are based from a welcoming London office, hybrid with up to three days a week in person.
Both roles sit on rare disease accounts, where the patient impact is tangible and the science is genuinely interesting.
About the Roles
- Publications-focused: A broad mix of deliverables: manuscripts, congress publications, plain language summaries, companion pieces (slide decks, infographics), congress reporting and meeting support. Real scope to review others' work and mentor less experienced writers, with the opportunity for line management.
- Medical affairs and education-focused: Weighted towards educational and medical affairs materials with some publications, on an account covering rare haematological disorders. Suits a strong editorial thinker with excellent PowerPoint skills and an eye for visuals — and it comes with opportunities for travel.
What We're Looking For
- Experience writing in the medical communications sector, with a strong scientific background (a science PhD, preferably life sciences, would be advantageous).
- Confidence communicating with scientific and healthcare professionals, and comfort with significant client interaction.
- The ability to think strategically and proactively offer innovative solutions.
- Strong PowerPoint and visual communication skills (particularly for the medical affairs role).
- A passion for communicating science, a 'can-do' attitude, and a collaborative approach.
