About the Role  

This is more than a copy-editing role; you will act as a champion of quality, helping to streamline editorial processes and flexibly support our medical writers with high-value tasks during varied workflows.

• Copy Editing & Proofreading: Edit, proofread, and format complex scientific and medical education content across a wide range of channels, formats, and materials (including slide decks, manuscripts, abstracts, posters, advisory board reports, and video content)
• Data Checking: Challenge and verify scientific claims, figures, and tables  against primary source references to ensure accuracy
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with writers, account managers, and creative teams to deliver high-quality scientific communications on time and within scope.
• Team Development & Mentorship: Provide guidance, support, and peer-to-peer mentoring to other team members, promoting a culture of continuous learning and high editorial standards.

• Experience: A minimum of 5 years of medical editing experience within a medical communications (MedComms) or Medical Education (MedEd) agency setting is strictly required.
• Technical Rigor: Outstanding proofreading and copy-editing skills with an impeccable grasp of medical terminology, AMA style, and regulatory guidelines.
• Data Literacy:  Experience data-checking, referencing, and supporting medical writing teams with scientific cross-checking.
• Agility & Proactivity: High resilience, excellent time management, and the ability to comfortably manage the shifting workloads and deadlines typical of end-of-line agency workflows.
• Communication & Collaboration: High emotional intelligence with the ability to adapt your editing style to different therapeutic areas, client preferences, and internal team dynamics.

• Veeva Vault Proficiency: Prior experience working with Veeva Vault (or similar client content management systems) for uploading, annotating, and linking references is a  an advantage.
• Proven Data Checking Experience: Previous hands-on experience thoroughly checking data and scientific statements  against source materials.
• Line management: Experience in line management or mentoring colleagues.
