Real Chemistry is seeking a talented and dynamic Medical Content Lead to join our growing medical communications team. This role is an excellent opportunity to lead the development of cutting-edge, high-impact scientific content that elevates medical education and advances patient outcomes.
As a Medical Content Lead, you’ll leverage your expertise in medical writing and scientific storytelling to drive impactful deliverables across multiple therapeutic areas. You’ll partner with cross-functional teams, and cultivate strong client relationships to ensure excellence in all aspects of our work.
This is a hybrid role, based in any of our US offices— New York City, Boston, Chicago, San Francisco, Carmel (IN), or Lambertville (NJ)—or remotely within the US, depending on team and business needs.
What you’ll do:
- Lead the development of high-quality, scientifically rigorous content across a high volume of deliverables, including complex projects, brands, and/or therapeutic areas, working independently with minimal input needed from senior-level reviewers
- Provide strategic input to clients and internal teams on scientific messaging, differentiation with competitors, impactful data inclusion and interpretation, and educational needs
- Challenge and refine project briefs, as appropriate, to ensure that deliverables are tactically relevant, strategically sound, and scientifically robust
- Guide less-experienced medical writers on content structure, data interpretation, referencing, and alignment with strategic imperatives, informally supporting their development
- Harness strong interpersonal skills to develop and strengthen key relationships with clients and key opinion leaders across multiple therapeutic areas
- Leverage experience on assigned accounts/therapeutic areas to make proactive recommendations to clients regarding content enhancements or new deliverables or approaches that support organic growth
