About the Role
Are you an experienced Senior Medical Editor looking to make an impact within a dynamic, close-knit medical education team? Do you possess an eagle-eyed attention to detail, a passion for scientific accuracy, and the agility to adapt within a fast-paced agency setting? If so, we want to hear from you!
We are seeking a talented Senior Medical Editor to join our dedicated, highly collaborative editing team. In this role, you will be the final line of defense, ensuring that all scientific and educational content is accurate, clear, engaging, and fully aligned with client objectives, style guides, and brand standards.
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.
Key Responsibilities:
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.
About You
This is a specialist agency role requiring prior hands-on experience in medical copy-editing. Please note: This is not an administrative, journal production, or commissioning editor role. We are looking for an active, agency-experienced medical editor.
Required Experience & Skills:
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.
