Why this is worth applying to
Worth applying only if you already have substantial medical-writing and global regulatory submission experience. It is a strong director-track pharma role, not a realistic transition opportunity for clinicians without a medical-writing portfolio.
Who should apply
Physicians or pharmacists with 8-10+ years of medical writing in pharma/biotech, direct experience authoring NDA/MAA/IND and summary documents, global ICH submission exposure, and oncology, immunology, or neurology subject-matter depth.
CV angle
Lead with measurable medical-writing and regulatory output: authored or led clinical/regulatory documents, supported NDA/MAA/IND submissions, worked in eCTD/Veeva environments, managed CROs or cross-functional teams, performed literature and TLF/SAP reviews, and mentored writers. Frame clinical training as therapeutic-area expertise, not as direct patient-care experience.
Skills to highlight
- Medical writing for clinical and regulatory documents
- NDA/MAA/IND and global submission planning
- eCTD and regulatory document standards
- Clinical trial disclosure
- CRO/vendor oversight
- Cross-functional team leadership
- Mentoring and people management
- Literature searches and data review
Role summary
A senior pharmaceutical medical-writing role leading content strategy and authoring for clinical and regulatory documents across global submissions, representing Medical Writing on cross-functional teams, managing CRO/in-house writing work, and mentoring junior writers.
