Why this is worth applying to
Worth applying only if you already have substantial medical writing experience in a CRO/sponsor setting; clinicians without that should first build a writing portfolio or transition via entry-level medical writing/regulatory roles.
Who should apply
Experienced medical writers with MD, PharmD, PhD, or other scientific/clinical backgrounds, especially those with oncology or rare disease experience, seeking a senior non-clinical CRO role.
CV angle
Frame clinical training and therapeutic expertise as subject-matter knowledge. Highlight regulatory writing experience (protocols, CSRs, IBs, DSURs, narratives), ICH/GCP/FDA compliance, eCTD, QC, document management, and cross-functional collaboration. If transitioning, emphasize publications, grant writing, clinical trial documentation, or regulatory submissions.
Skills to highlight
- Clinical study protocols
- Clinical study reports (CSRs)
- ICH/FDA/GCP regulatory compliance
- eCTD requirements
- QC review and document management
- Informed consent form (ICF) templates
- DSURs and patient narratives
- Oncology/rare disease therapeutic knowledge
Role summary
Lead medical writing for clinical study documents—protocols, IBs, ICFs, DSURs, CSRs, and patient narratives—ensuring regulatory compliance, quality, and timely delivery for a CRO/consulting firm.
