• Strong hands-on copywriting experience across multiple content formats.
• Demonstrated experience in creative strategy, storytelling, and content development.

• Pharmaceutical, biotechnology, healthcare, or other regulated-industry experience.
• Familiarity with AI-assisted content creation tools.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop creative concepts, themes, taglines, and messaging strategies for corporate initiatives, campaigns, meetings, and events.
• Write engaging employee stories, patient stories, leadership communications, award summaries, speeches, video scripts, and event content.
• Develop both short-form and long-form content, including emails, presentations, speaker notes, campaign materials, and event communications.
• Interview employees, stakeholders, and subject matter experts to gather information and develop compelling stories.
• Translate business objectives and initial project requests into strategic content recommendations and creative solutions.
• Collaborate with Creative Directors, Art Directors, Designers, and Account Teams to develop and execute creative materials.
• Maintain consistent messaging across pre-event, event, and post-event communications.
• Manage multiple creative projects independently, balancing competing priorities and deadlines.
• Present creative concepts and explain content strategy and writing decisions to stakeholders.
• Use AI-assisted writing tools where appropriate while maintaining human oversight, originality, and accuracy.
