Overview
Are you someone who combines a deep understanding of science with an interest in the art of creative storytelling? Do you enjoy finding new and creative ways to look at, think about, simplify, visualize and communicate scientific information and concepts? Do you enjoy working in a collaborative, fast-paced environment, alongside people with a rich variety of skill sets and perspectives? Are you interested in flexing your scientific muscles to support marketing projects across the spectrum or health and wellness, to include anything from oncology to toothpaste? Are you interested in working as part of a different @type of medical-scientific team to create, test and sell innovative products, services and capabilities? If so, then this could be the perfect opportunity for you.

This may include generation of content (across multiple formats from scientific speaker slides to content-light strategic client presentations), conducting interviews with thought leaders to generate new insights, participating in client meetings and interactions, monitoring industry trends and news, conducting a literature deep-dive, analyzing key competitors, and providing scientific briefings to colleagues.
