• Present your work and medical insights in client meetings
• Support and mentor junior writers when needed
• Keep pace with a fast-moving workload while maintaining exceptional attention to detail

You should:

• Have at least 1.5 years’ experience in pharmaceutical advertising (or 3 years in a related area like medical communications or health marketing)
• Be confident crafting copy that’s scientifically sound, on brief and engaging
• Understand the workings of an advertising agency environment
• Be familiar with content management and compliance tools like Veeva PromoMats
• Have excellent communication skills and the confidence to present to clients
• Show strong attention to detail and a solid grasp of grammar
• Be able to adapt tone and format for different audiences and materials
• Have a thorough understanding of the ABPI Code of Practice
• Be comfortable working with standard software (Word, PowerPoint, Excel)

What’s on offer?

• A competitive salary of £37,000 to £45,000 (flexibility depending on experience)
• Flexible hybrid working (Oxfordshire-based offices) – 1 to 2 days in the office
• Private healthcare, pension and regular company social events
• Employee contribution car scheme (Electric vehicle)
• Employee Ownership Trust – have a direct stake in the success and future of the business
• 28 days holiday (including Christmas shut down) plus birthday off
• Genuinely great team - friendly, passionate and big on creative collaboration
• Plenty of variety and autonomy - and the chance to work on campaigns that do good
