About the role
We are seeking a Medical Editor to join our client's vibrant team. In this role, you are the last set of eyes on everything we send to clients, physicians, and patients. You will bring a medical editor’s scientific judgment and a copy editor’s precision to every project, checking content against its references, tightening language, and making sure each piece follows AMA style and client brand standards before it goes out the door. You will partner closely with our medical writers, creative team, and account teams so that our work is accurate, clear, compliant, and ready for review. Our business operates in a fast-paced, client-driven environment where responsiveness and timely service are critical. Client needs and project demands can arise with little notice, and the medical editor is expected to be flexible and responsive when those needs occur. This role may require occasional overtime based on client deadlines, project demands, and business needs. Overtime will be compensated in accordance with applicable law and company policy.
