An exciting opportunity for a publications-focused Medical Writer to join a growing, data-driven life sciences company developing innovative diagnostic technologies that are transforming the management of cancer patients.
You’ll join a collaborative in-house team that operates with the energy and agility of a medical communications agency, but with the long-term product ownership and scientific depth of industry. This role offers the best of both worlds - the pace and variety of agency life, combined with the satisfaction of seeing your work contribute to real-world clinical impact.
We’re looking for passionate writers who love turning complex data into clear, engaging, and scientifically rigorous publications.
Key Responsibilities
* Lead or contribute to the development of scientific publications, including manuscripts, abstracts, posters, and slide decks.
* Analyse and interpret complex datasets to create insightful, accurate, and publication-ready content.
* Collaborate with internal experts and external authors to deliver high-quality outputs aligned with company strategy.
* Ensure editorial excellence and compliance with ICMJE and GPP3 publication standards.
* Support strategic publication planning and tracking within a growing oncology portfolio.
* Occasionally assist with literature reviews or data analysis projects as part of wider team support.
About You
* Life sciences degree required – PhD preferred, or MSc/BSc with strong relevant experience.
* 3–5 years’ experience in medical writing (for Senior role) or 1–3 years (for Junior role).
* Proven track record in publication writing - must have at least one prostate cancer publication where you are acknowledged as the medical writer or author.
* Experience in medical imaging or PET is highly desirable.
* Background in a medical communications agency, pharma, or medical device company preferred.
* Not suited to purely academic profiles - this is a fast-moving, cross-functional commercial environment.
* Comfortable interpreting complex data tables and working directly from data outputs (no CSR templates).
* Excellent communication, time management, and stakeholder collaboration skills.
