Description
Your Role
As Metrix continues to grow and our industry is increasingly disrupted by technology and innovation, we're looking for someone to contribute to our client-facing medical writing team.
We're looking for someone who is a strong project manager and medical writer with a passion for communicating in a corporate setting. You're interested in the learning and development & healthcare marketing fields, get excited about consulting to clients, and have an eye for all-things design. You're business and technology savvy, solutions-focused, and hope to quickly grow your
career by taking on increasingly complex project management and leadership roles.
As a Medical Writer & Project Lead, you'll be leading projects and the respective teams, as well as writing, editing, and QAing scientific content in the healthcare space. You'll have experience
consulting to professionals in healthcare and pharmaceuticals, managing project timelines and budgets, and be comfortable working with clients (many of them senior at their organizations). You will
have demonstrated problem-solving skills, and an aptitude for navigating ambiguity.
Through your client-focus and commitment to excellence, you will ensure that our deliverables help each client meet their objectives. You'll have some experience managing project teams. You do
have experience medical writing, and while direct experience in the Learning & Development industry is an asset, it is not required.
