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.
