In our highly entrepreneurial environment, employees are empowered and the opportunity for professional development occurs every day.

This role will lead publication planning and execution across Celldex's clinical programs, including manuscripts, abstracts, posters, oral presentations, and congress-related scientific content supporting late-stage development and future commercialization activities. The individual will work closely with the Director, Scientific Communications to ensure alignment between publication strategy, scientific messaging, congress activities, and broader Medical Affairs communication initiatives. The ideal candidate will bring strong scientific acumen, end-to-end publication expertise, strong cross-functional leadership with ability to drive alignment, and the ability to translate complex clinical and scientific data into impactful scientific publications and medical content.

  • Maintain awareness of emerging clinical data, scientific literature, competitive intelligence, and industry trends within immunology, allergy, inflammation, and related therapeutic areas
  • Ensure compliance with ICMJE, AMA, GPP, FDA, and applicable industry standards and company SOPs
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives related to publication processes, systems, and operational workflows
  • May manage external publication vendors, agencies, consultants, and/or scientific communications partners
