Greater Sydney Area, Australia Synergy Vision Full time $90,000 - $120,000 per year

We started with a vision, and we've stayed true to our four key principles: Open. Driven. Real. Connected. We take a genuinely flexible, people-first approach to our work and company culture – including employee ownership and our permanent 4-day working week.

We're looking for a Medical Writer with a keen eye for detail and a passion for clear, impactful communication to join our team on a hybrid basis in Sydney, Australia.

Reporting to a Principal or Senior Medical Writer, this role offers the chance to develop high-quality scientific content that supports education, engagement, and positive change in healthcare.

A few more details about the role...

Day to day, you'll collaborate with client services, programme development, creative, and editorial teams to deliver engaging materials across a wide range of formats. From training modules and slide decks to abstracts, symposia reports, and manuscripts, you'll play a key role in shaping medical education programmes that meet client needs and resonate with healthcare audiences. This is a hands-on role with opportunities to contribute creative and strategic input, liaise with clients and experts, and grow within a collaborative, supportive agency culture.

  • Develop, manage, and deliver a variety of scientific materials—training resources, manuscripts, abstracts, posters, slide decks, and meeting outputs.
  • Liaise with clients, KOLs, and external contractors to ensure content is accurate, on brief, and delivered to deadline.
  • Support live, hybrid, and digital events, attending meetings, conferences, and symposia as needed.
  • Manage project timelines and writing activities in line with agreed budgets and schedules.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align content with creative, editorial, and client service objectives.
  • Provide input during project development, contributing both creatively and strategically.
  • Support business development by contributing to proposals and, where needed, pitches.

To help you decide whether to apply, here's what we're looking for in our next Medical Writer:

  • Experience writing scientific or medical content, ideally within an agency or healthcare communications environment.
  • Strong organisational skills - able to manage multiple tasks, meet deadlines, and keep projects on track.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills, with the ability to liaise confidently with clients, colleagues, and healthcare experts.
  • A proactive mindset, eager to learn and contribute ideas.
  • A degree in a life sciences discipline (e.g. biology, pharmacology, medicine, or related field).

Benefits

  • Key benefits include:
  • Employee assistance programme
  • Enhanced family leave
  • Flexible working
  • Menopause policy
  • Birthday lie-in
  • Wellbeing package
  • Duvet days/Doona days
  • Employee ownership
  • Option to purchase additional holiday

This is a dynamic role with a balance of independent project delivery and collaborative teamwork. You will be supported to sharpen your writing skills, expand your scientific expertise, and make a real difference through high-quality medical communications.

Hiring process

  • Submit your CV, and a brief covering letter
  • 20-minute screening conversation with our recruitment manager
  • Test, completed in your own time to a mutually agreed deadline
  • Interview (50 minutes) with the hiring team
  • If needed: Second interview (30 minutes) with members of the Client Services and Medical Writing & Programme Development Teams.
  • Offer sent via recruitment manager
