- the accurate interpretation of clinical data (e.g., from clinical study reports, safety summaries, biostatistical tables, published articles, etc), and its accurate, concise adaptation to meet assigned projects’ stated objectives
- all compliance requirements for medical publications and medical communications, as relevant and appropriate (e.g., authorship guidelines, journal requirements, client confidential materials, etc)
- representing assigned work at internal and external (client) meetings as required (e.g., project status, author interactions, client publication committee meetings, etc)
- understanding client publication and communication plans as required (e.g., impact on project timelines, appropriate congress and journal venues for assigned client/therapy area, relevance to client drug development planning, etc)
5% of your time will be devoted to assisting in the management of (your) medical writing resources, including but not limited to, responsibility for:
- collaborating with the Senior Medical Writer / Scientific Manager and Account Managers to help ensure adherence to agreed-upon timelines (e.g., project status reports, proactive flagging of problems, time/resource limitations/availability, etc)
5% of your time may be devoted to on-the-job training initiatives (over and above required ICON training) such as assisting the SM and/or GMC Senior Leadership in business development activities including but not limited to, participation in
- background research and writing support for new business proposals
- background research and writing support for assigned account(s) organic growth opportunities
To be successful in the role, you will have:
- PhD level in the required field
- Minimum of 2-3 years’ experience of high-level content development
- Prior relevant experience in a medical publications/medical communications agency is required
- Ability to read, analyze, and interpret scientific and technical journal content; ability to develop and write to prescribed styles and formats
- Familiarity with ICMJE and GPP guidelines
- Ability to learn to work with network directories/databases
- Proficiency with commonly used software including but not limited to word processing (e.g., MS Word), graphics (e.g., PowerPoint or Prism), and bibliographic software (e.g., EndNote), and adaptability to other applicable software
