Sydney, New South Wales, Australia pobl. Full time $120,000 - $180,000 per year

Ambitious medical writing professional seeking an exciting leadership opportunity?



pobl. is working exclusively with a start-up medical communications agency, based in Sydney, Australia, and assisting in its search for a Scientific Services Lead. This is a rare and unique opportunity to join a growing business in a key role, where you'll have the ability to shape not only the quality of medical communications services provided to clients, but also the future of the agency, alongside its creative and forward-thinking founder.

Day-to-Day You'll Be:



Working across local and international medical communications projects in publications, medical affairs, and medical education

Leading the creation of high-quality scientific communications, and reviewing the work of others

Responsible for scientific leadership across all business aspects

Cultivating a high-performing, yet supportive, working environment

Leading account strategy, development and organic growth, including the development and presentation of business pitches with colleagues



You're a Perfect Fit If You Possess:



Substantial medical communications agency experience: You will have established a robust portfolio of medical communications projects and will be an accomplished medical writer. In previous roles you may have been a Principal Medical Writer, Editorial Team Lead or Scientific Director

An accomplished academic background in life sciences: A degree in a relevant field (eg pharmacology, medicine, biomedical science); MSc or PhD is preferred

A creative spark: You will always be thinking of ways to improve delivery of work to clients, with a creative mindset and a curious nature that leads to excellent and innovative solutions

Regional expertise: Ideally you will have prior experience in medical communications projects in Australia, and across the APAC region

Great interpersonal skills: You'll be confident, articulate, and generally a delight for clients to work with, knowing that strong client relationships are essential to the agency's future success



What You'll Receive in Return:



A package commensurate with your experience and role - please ask us for more information

The opportunity to be the first in: Alongside the business founder, you will have the opportunity to help build the agency you always wanted to work for - an extremely rare opportunity

A really nice place to work: This isn't a huge network agency or a bureaucratic corporate enterprise—you'll have the flexibility, freedom and autonomy afforded to independent start-ups

Very flexible ways of working - you can work onsite, hybrid, or remotely (if working remotely, you will need to travel for occasional team meetings with colleagues)



We are inviting confidential expressions of interest about this exciting new opportunity. For more information, please apply via LinkedIn, our website, or contact Tom Davies directly.


If you're thinking "what next?", we can help. It's a pobl. thing.
