About the role
Keenfolks is assembling a bench of senior freelance content writers for a confidential client — a global leader in animal health. The role involves producing and adapting a high volume of content, fast, to a high standard, within a structured pharma review workflow.
What You’ll Do
- Write high volumes of content across the full channel mix: social posts and carousels, marketing and approved emails, banners and paid ads, landing pages and web copy, brochures and leaflets, sales aids and e-detailing (CLM/IVA) presentations, video and reel scripts, newsletters.
- Flex between audiences — veterinarians and clinic teams, livestock producers, and pet owners — moving from science-backed clinical copy to warm, emotional storytelling without losing accuracy.
- Turn briefs, master assets and scientific source material into sharp, channel-native copy; transcreate and localize global masters for regional markets.
- Write claims-safe, referenced copy and work through structured medical/legal/regulatory (MLR) revision rounds, delivering submission-ready files for a Veeva PromoMats environment.
- Keep brand voice, terminology and glossaries consistent across dozens of assets per month, meeting agreed SLAs without sacrificing craft.
- Collaborate async with a distributed team; give and take structured feedback quickly.
What You’ll Bring
- 4+ years writing content and copy for brands, including proven experience with pharma or regulated health — animal health ideally; human pharma also welcome.
- A real understanding of the animal world: pets and/or livestock. You are comfortable writing about parasiticides, vaccines, nutrition, preventive care and herd health — and translating science into content people actually want to read.
- Proven capacity for volume: multiple assets per week, versioning discipline, structured feedback loops.
- Familiarity with claims substantiation and MLR review; Veeva PromoMats experience is a strong plus.
- Native-level English (US/Canadian conventions and cultural fluency). Spanish or Canadian French is a plus.
- A reliable, self-managed freelance setup: responsive, deadline-driven and comfortable working async across time zones.
- Background in veterinary science, animal science or biology — or long experience writing alongside vets and technical experts.
- Fluency with AI-assisted writing workflows (prompting, editing AI drafts to brand standard).
- SEO fundamentals and experience with transcreation/localization at scale.
