Why this is worth applying to
Worth applying only if you already have medical communications, publications, or medical affairs experience and can lead accounts and writers; clinicians without agency/content experience will likely find the bar too high.

CV angle
Frame clinical and academic work around scientific strategy, publication outputs, manuscript review, guideline/compliance knowledge, cross-functional collaboration, teaching/mentoring, and stakeholder management; quantify publications, congress content, MLR submissions, and teams led without inventing agency experience.
Skills to highlight
- Publication planning
- Medical writing and scientific review
- MLR review and compliance
- Good Publication Practice/ICMJE/PhRMA guidelines
- AMA style
- Client and stakeholder management
- Team leadership and mentoring
- Therapeutic area expertise
Role summary
Senior scientific lead in a medical communications agency, owning account-level medical/scientific strategy, overseeing publication and congress content, defending MLR submissions, managing writers, and serving as a client-facing scientific expert.
