Job Summary

Drive end-to-end DTC pharma copy and MLR submissions for a consumer brand.

  • Own DTC copy across brochures, websites, and campaigns.
  • Must-have: 8-12 years of agency pharma DTC experience with patient-facing work.
  • Standout: Deep MLR fluency and ability to defend work to clients.

Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Lead copy across the full range of DTC deliverable: long-form patient brochures, branded and unbranded websites, and concept-driven campaign work across both channels.
  • Concept original campaign territories, branded and unbranded, to shape what this brand says and how it says it.
  • Translate complex clinical data into patient language that resonates without oversimplifying. The science is dense. Your copy isn’t allowed to be.
  • Own MLR submissions end-to-end: annotating every claim, pulling every reference, and building manuscripts that give the review team exactly what they need the first time.

Requirements

  • 8-12 years of agency experience with real pharma DTC work in your portfolio — patient-facing campaigns, long-form copy, and website content.
  • Deep pharma annotation fluency. You know how to reference a claim, structure a manuscript for MLR, and navigate a review cycle.
  • A consumer writer’s instinct. You write toward emotion, not away from it.
  • You’ve done serious DTC pharma work and are hungry to go deeper, with Launch Experience a plus.
  • Can present and defend work to clients.
  • Non-negotiable: Real, recent DTC pharma experience. Not pharma-adjacent. Not transferable skills. Not HCP work reframed as consumer. Portfolios without this work will not be considered.

Preferred

  • Launch Experience a plus.

Benefits

  • competitive benefits and other perks.
