Medical Writer 1

We are seeking a Medical Writer 1 to join our team at Fortrea Clinical Pharmacology Services (CPS) in Leeds. As a Medical Writer 1, you will play a key role in mobilizing cross-functional teams in the development of essential clinical documents for early phase clinical trials (I-IIa), with a focus on safety and pharmacokinetics.

You will learn how to develop the documents that enable the conduct of a clinical trial and to analyze the data that will help the sponsor to decide the future of their molecule. With on-the-job training and guidance from your colleagues and managers, by the end of your first year, success means you'll be able to:

• Drive the development of simple design Protocols and Clinical Study Reports (CSRs) with minimal supervision,
• Navigate the fast-paced timeliness of the document development cycle.

This includes:

• Critically reviewing and interpreting clinical research data (particularly Pharmacokinetics and Safety),
• Condensing data and conclusions into clear concise language in Protocols and CSRs.

You will also Project Manage the document development cycle from start to final deliverable. You´ll be the nexus where multiple teams´ expertise converge. You will coordinate and collaborate with multiple stakeholders, steer discussion, drive consensus and facilitate decision-making to propel the document development cycle forward:

• Ensuring alignment with sponsor goals and project milestones while monitoring study progress.
• Fostering regular communication with subject matter experts (SMEs) to streamline document development (getting inputs timely, consolidating contributions or answering questions.)

Additionally, you will Manage client interaction:

• Setting client expectations with document development
• Addressing feedback and confidently leading meetings with Big Pharma and Biotech clients

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in biomedical, life sciences, or a related discipline.
• You'll need to bring either relevant professional experience in a scientific environment OR a recently completed PhD in a relevant scientific discipline.
• Professional experience could include working in a fast-paced research lab, healthcare or other science-based setting, with exposure to experimental data analysis and results report writing.

Ideally, you'll also have experience working collaboratively across several teams and interacting directly with clients or external stakeholders. Some medical writing experience, particularly within a CRO, Pharma or Biotech environment, is ideal but not essential. If you're new to medical writing, we'll be looking for strong scientific writing, analytical skills and attention to detail developed through your professional experience or PhD.

Benefits:

• Diverse Career Path: Unique training schemes and opportunities to shape your career path.
• Supportive Environment: Comprehensive training, management support, and a network of SMEs to help you thrive.
• Career Growth: Whether you're passionate about scientific writing or aspire to leadership roles, your journey with us is driven by your aspirations.
