- 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
