Job Description

Responsibilities

  • Own editorial production for client-related and client-adjacent content, from concept and outline through draft, packaging, and final delivery.
  • Create, edit, and deliver high-quality medical and professional content on behalf of clients — to standard, and on the dates revenue depends on.
  • Translate client goals into content concepts and deliverables that are accurate, useful, audience-appropriate, and strategically aligned.
  • Partner with Client Services as they quarterback timelines, client expectations, and project flow — translating client goals and media-buyer pressures into work the team can actually execute.
  • Join and contribute to client calls, including brainstorms, kickoffs, check-ins, and content development conversations.
  • Represent the content function with professionalism and confidence, speaking fluently between Content, Client Services, and clients.
  • Decide what you take on yourself and what you assign out — and to whom — acting as the assignment editor across our content bench and freelance network.
  • Source, brief, and manage freelance writers, contractors, and KOLs, holding them to the Studio's quality bar. Be ready to work with some of the top medical leaders of the profession.
  • Proactively surface risk related to timelines, scope, medical accuracy, or client expectations before it becomes a problem.
  • Uphold medical-content rigor across every deliverable: AMA style, factual precision, and careful language.

Requirements

  • Approximately 8 years of experience in editorial, medical communications, healthcare publishing, content marketing, agency, or a related field.
  • Strong experience creating or editing medical, healthcare, or life-sciences content.
  • Experience working on client-facing, sponsor-supported, custom, branded, or content marketing materials.
  • Familiarity with AMA style and a demonstrated commitment to accuracy, clarity, and detail.
  • Strong editorial judgment, including the ability to recognize unsupported claims, overpromising, promotional language, and inappropriate sponsor influence.
  • Comfort participating in client calls and representing the content function with professionalism and confidence.
  • Strong project awareness and the ability to juggle multiple priorities without losing sight of deadlines or details.
  • Experience assigning, managing, or editing freelance writers or contractors.
  • Excellent communication skills across internal and external stakeholders, with a collaborative, practical,, team-oriented working style.
  • The ability to operate independently in a growing function that will eventually include direct reports.

Preferred

  • Familiarity with medical-legal / MLR review and the care required around regulated topics (e.g., prescription and DTC content).
  • Experience building templates, workflows, and quality standards for a new or growing content function.
  • Ophthalmology, optometry, or eyecare experience is welcome but not required; broader medical content experience is highly valued.
  • Comfort working in a fast-moving, technology-forward healthcare media or education company.

Benefits

  • Health insurance (90% silver plan coverage)
  • Vision & dental insurance
  • 401(k) + Annual Profit Share
  • PTO, Sick Time, Paid Holidays, Flex Time, Bonus Time Off
  • 100% Remote
