Medical Communications

Role Overview

Our client is searching for a talented and ambitious Senior Medical Writer to join their team. They’re looking for
someone who gets excited by creativity, enjoys collaborating to create great content, and gets a buzz
out of having an active and vocal role with clients and becoming a trusted extension of the team. Our client
will give you the space and support to grow in your role, as well as the opportunity to expand your areas
of expertise.

You will be responsible for creating and developing materials across a growing range of therapy areas
and accounts, ultimately acting as the lead writer for allocated accounts. You will take the lead on the
conversations with the client, particularly the medic, relating to scientific content, and own client
relationships where appropriate. Typical activities will include research and content development for
multiple projects, including: branding, websites, training materials, slides decks, patient
materials, advisory boards, promotional meetings, and internal communications. The ideal candidate will
have 3-5 years agency experience in medical or science writing, developing content for promotional or
medical educational activities.

Our client has its HQ in Bournemouth UK, with offices in Southbank, London and Copenhagen, Denmark, however, the opportunity to work fully remote as something they very much embrace as they champion a health work / life balance and their staff’s overall well-being.

Company Information

Our client is an independent award-winning, European-based, healthcare communications agency that
partners with their clients to build brands, educate audiences and drive advocacy. As an agency they strive to be the
best agency their clients (or you!) will ever work with.

They are dedicated to always delivering work that they’re proud of and ensuring that the journey is an enjoyable one.
They’re committed to developing their business without compromise to their team or their clients. They maintain their integrity, quality of work and the experience they provide because they know that success is built on long-term partnerships, and careers that grow.

Daily organisation

We tend to start our days with an 8-45am Teams call, which is a mix of catch up and
alignment for the day. We think it’s important to get a connection to the team and so we
broadly take the time to relax into the day with focus

We don’t finish at a specific time on any day. We try to finish a little early on Fridays where
possible

As with most/ all elements at BOOM! we win together, we lose together. Most importantly we do it
TOGETHER
