Why this is worth applying to
Worth applying if you already have 5+ years of medical writing experience in CRO/biotech/pharma and want a remote senior role with cross-functional leadership. Clinicians without a documented medical writing track record should treat this as a stretch and build writing experience first.
Who should apply
Physicians, pharmacists, or healthcare graduates with 5+ years of regulatory/medical writing experience in CRO, biotech, or pharma, ideally with oncology, infectious disease, or vaccine exposure. Strong fit for IMGs with clinical research and publication backgrounds seeking a remote non-clinical career.
CV angle
Reframe real clinical and research experience around document authoring and regulatory deliverables: highlight any protocols, study reports, investigator brochures, publications, or regulatory submissions you contributed to, quantify cross-functional coordination and timeline ownership, and emphasize ICH/regulatory knowledge, therapeutic-area depth, and QC/review management. Do not claim writing experience you do not have — instead surface transferable evidence from clinical research, trials, or academic writing.
Skills to highlight
- Clinical study report and protocol authoring
- ICH and US regulatory document requirements
- Cross-functional project and timeline management
- Comment resolution and stakeholder coordination
- Document management systems and collaborative authoring tools
- Therapeutic-area expertise (oncology, infectious disease, vaccines)
- Peer QC review and literature searches
- Lean authoring and structured content management
Role summary
A fully remote (US) senior medical writing position at TransPerfect supporting client drug development programs. The writer leads planning, authoring, and project management of clinical regulatory documents — protocols, study reports, investigator brochures, narratives, and module documents — coordinating cross-functional client teams and internal QC/publishing resources under tight timelines.
