Scope of the role:

Global Medical Writing (GMW) contributes to the global clinical development of innovative medicines for the treatment of patients with severe diseases by delivering high-quality, scientifically-sound, and timely submission-related documents.

Clinical submissions documents in scope include: Phase 1-4 protocols and clinical study reports (CSRs), summary documents, risk management plans (as needed), patient narratives, and clinical parts of Investigational Brochures, agency meeting briefing packages, INDs, and responses to agency questions, lay summaries, and redacted documents; and other documents that may be assigned.

  • Coordinate with other Medical Writing Specialists as needed to maintain consistency across documents within a project and across indications. Identify trends in quality deficiencies and recommend corrective actions

  • Maintain and demonstrate expert knowledge of company- and project-specific guidelines for the QC of clinical submissions documents, including SOPs, templates, and document writing conventions and styles


Education and Experience:
  • Bachelor's degree
  • A professional certification (eg, AMWA, EMWA, RAPS, BELS) is a plus, but not essential
  • Five or more years' experience performing quality checks to medical writing functions


Skills:
  • Demonstrated ability to work without close supervision

  • A high degree of familiarity with statistical and data output.
  • Intermediate understanding of applicable regulations and guidelines (eg, Code of Federal Regulations, European Directive, and ICH) including CTD structure and content, CSR and summary document content
