We’re looking for strategic scientific thinkers at Senior or Principal Medical Writer level who go beyond the data. People who instinctively ask: what does this evidence mean in practice, how will it influence clinical behaviour, and where can it have the greatest impact?
At Sciterion, scientific services focus on how evidence shapes decisions, influences behaviour, and ultimately improves outcomes.
You’ll bring together scientific depth, commercial awareness, and strong narrative skills—translating complex data into clear, insight-led stories that resonate with senior medical audiences and drive meaningful change.
This is a role for someone who wants to lead, not just deliver. You will shape scientific strategy across medical affairs—from pre-launch through to launch and beyond—lead high-value discussions with senior stakeholders, and confidently challenge thinking with a clear, evidence-based point of view.
We’re building a team of curious, commercially astute, and forward-thinking scientists who want to play an active role in evolving how our industry engages with evidence.
Are you ready to make a difference?
If you are a strategic thinker who is also a master storyteller. If you have deep medical affairs expertise, the confidence to lead senior medical discussions, and a passion for shaping how scientific evidence is understood and applied in practice. If you thrive at the intersection of science, strategy, and impact—and want to help shape what comes next—we’d love to hear from you.
