Description
Senior Medical Writer
Team – Medical Practice
Location – UK London ( Hybrid)
Role
We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Senior Medical Writer (SMW) to join our London team. The successful candidate will be responsible for generating consistently high-quality medical content across multiple accounts without compromising on quality. As an expert within their assigned therapeutic area, the Senior Medical Writer will possess detailed knowledge of scientific data and its alignment with the client’s brand strategy. Additionally, they will review the work of junior team members and enhance their understanding of scientific data on their assigned accounts.
Responsibilities
Your responsibilities include but are not limited to:
Key Responsibilities
Accountability
• Independently produce work aligned with the client brief that meets or exceeds client expectations.
• Lead client review meetings, presenting work confidently and accepting critique.
• Develop content with minimal review, showcasing an understanding of complex scientific data and communicating it effectively.
Client Services
• Serve as the primary contact for clients on editorial/scientific aspects of their accounts.
• Build and maintain effective relationships with client partners, external suppliers, key opinion leaders, and medical experts.
• Stay informed on industry innovations and advise clients accordingly.
Project Management
• Possess detailed knowledge of project delivery pathways and advise on budget scoping and timeline development.

• Review copy and provide constructive feedback to junior team members.
• Guide junior team members in their strategic development and help them interpret and apply external feedback.
At AXON, we actively encourage the team to be involved in activities outside of their day-to-day work. Whether that is being involved in our social, Diversity & Inclusion, or CSR electives, attending networking events, or running training sessions on topics in which they have a personal interest. We have a keen focus on training and development and, as a rough guide, suggest employees aim to complete 37.5 hours of learning a year through online learning, classroom training, or attending external events; that’s 1 week a year dedicated to your development.
Candidate must have:
• The creation of a wide range of documents
• Review of junior team member's work for style, strategy, content accuracy and data checking
• Line management of junior writers
• Successfully managing client relationships
• Providing effective counsel to clients
• Identifying and capitalizing on business opportunities
• Leading formal client meetings
• Mentoring, coaching and monitoring the long-term career development of staff

• 5% employer pension contribution
• Private medical insurance (for you and your family)
• Critical Illness cover
• Income Protection cover
• Travel insurance (for you and your family)
• An annual “wellness” benefit following a 3 month service
• Hybrid working options
