Senior Science Writer

Working from home

Salary: £30-40,000 + bonus

 Generous pension scheme, bonus and other benefits

Are you a bright, creative writer who is passionate about telling scientific stories? If so, this company could be the right place for you. This is a fast-paced, rapidly growing, international agency where you can put your scientific knowledge, creativity, writing skills and energy to good use.

The company is well-run, ambitious and well-funded.

The Company:

This is a well-established but rapidly growing marketing agency that works in the science and life science fields. Often said but rarely is it true- this company cares for its people, and its core values are exceptional.

Due to continuing increases in market share and their ambitious plans for 2020 and beyond, the time is now to jump on board with this rising star.

This is not ‘just another agency’.

They combine the worlds of science and marketing communications to open eyes, change perceptions and support the growth and development of the life science community. Ultimately, the work they do ensures that companies, scientists and healthcare experts find and understand the technologies they need to drive discovery and improve the world around us. It’s why they are here. It’s what they are passionate about. And it’s why this agency are one of the leaders in this field.

We’re looking for talented individuals to join our awesome team. Is this you?

The Job:

By joining our team, you’ll get a full perspective on working within an integrated marketing agency and the chance to work with clients across the globe. Your role would involve writing a mixture of technical content including whitepapers, eBooks and blog posts, as well as creative content (e.g. social media posts, web copy, email copy, infographics etc.).

This role would suit someone who loves immersing themselves in a topic and writing for most of their day (although there is typically time each week allocated to working and brainstorming with the client account teams as part of briefing sessions). It would also appeal to someone who loves learning new things, craves variety (we write about many different scientific topics) and enjoys pushing themselves to develop outside of their comfort zone.

As you develop your career, there are opportunities to develop your role in the future, potentially as a content editor where you could lead and manage a team of writers, though the desire to do this is not a requirement.

About You

This full-time role is perfect for someone looking to further develop within commercial scientific communications, has a passion for writing and wants to put their editorial development skills and sector and scientific knowledge to use as a subject matter expert within our client-based account teams. You don’t need to have any previous marketing experience, but a history and passion within the field of commercial science writing, editorial development or publishing, is a must.

You will have:

• 3+ years working in science writing, content development, or publishing
• Experience and knowledge of the Pharma and Biotech, CRO and CMO sectors essential
• The ability to write clearly and concisely
• The skill to translate complex scientific ideas into compelling stories with clear narratives
• A flair for creative writing (e.g. creating compelling, engaging social media posts)
• Exceptional written and spoken English, including exceptional grammar
• An eye for detail

Ideally, you also have a PhD in a life science subject (ideally related to molecular/cell biology or biochemistry).

The rewards:

• You will work in a brand-new office designed to give you the environment, the space, and the facilities to allow you to shine.
• Career opportunity based on merit, not time served that will exceed your expectations. Promotion opportunities as well as longer-term company equity possibilities are available.
• A level of dynamism within the company rarely found outside of a capital city, but set in a beautiful, leafy, well-served location.
• Mentoring by senior, prolific and successful entrepreneurs.
• Full company benefits, bonus and pension available
  

Interviews are immediately available.
