About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Medical Communications Manager to support our client's Medical Affairs organization. This individual will play a pivotal role in the development, management, and review of medical content that supports scientific exchange - not marketing. The ideal candidate is a detail-oriented medical content strategist who can balance both hands-on content creation and vendor oversight, while ensuring alignment through internal MLR processes.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead and manage development of scientific and medical content across multiple assets, including MSL slide decks, disease state leave-behinds, publication summaries, and other field-facing materials.

• Partner closely with cross-functional Medical, Legal, and Regulatory (MLR) stakeholders to facilitate material review and alignment.

• Manage external vendors and medical writing agencies - setting expectations, reviewing deliverables, and ensuring scientific accuracy and compliance.

• Develop high-quality medical materials independently when needed, ensuring adherence to internal style guides and scientific standards.

• Provide project management oversight of MedComms activities to maintain timelines, budgets, and quality control.

Required Qualifications

• Advanced degree required: OD, MD, or PharmD.

• Minimum of 5+ years' experience in Medical Communications within pharma/biotech, medical affairs, or agency environments.

• Strong experience with medical content development - not commercial or promotional marketing.

• Ophthalmology experience highly preferred.

• Proven ability to manage vendors and medical writing partners, with experience overseeing end-to-end content workflows.

• Hands-on experience using Veeva PromoMats and other MedComms systems for project tracking and referencing.

• Demonstrated success serving as the project manager representative during MLR review, articulating content rationale and gaining cross-functional alignment.

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with a keen eye for scientific accuracy and compliance.

Why Join

This is a unique opportunity to join a fast-paced, collaborative team where your medical expertise and content management skills will have a direct impact on the quality of scientific exchange and field communication.
