Freelance Science Copy Editor Jobs (NOW HIRING)

At Remedy Edge NY, we believe health can't wait. 

The stakes are higher. The pace is faster. And hesitation costs lives. 

That's why Remedy Edge exists-to bring urgency to health. 

Urgent thinking. Urgent creativity. Urgent action. 

We are a collective of courageous, curious, generous, and gritty people driven to solve the toughest challenges in healthcare. 

We push past convention, stay relentlessly a step ahead, and apply bold, omnichannel creativity to move people-from awareness to action, from delay to decision, from possibility to progress. 

Because when health is on the line, every moment matters. 

And every edge counts. 

Inclusivity:Remedy Edge is an inclusive home for diverse voices, perspectives, and lived experiences. We believe the best ideas emerge when everyone is heard-and when the work reflects the real world it's meant to change. By embracing difference, we sharpen our thinking, strengthen our creativity, and take on health's hardest problems with greater clarity and humanity. 

Flexibility: At Remedy Edge, we design work around people, not the other way around. Our flexible hybrid environment empowers teams to do their best work wherever it happens: in our NYC headquarters, at home, or alongside clients. With intentional meeting-free time, seasonal flexibility, and modern ways of working, we give our people the space to think boldly, move faster, and stay at their creative edge. 

Who We Are:Remedy Edge is a global healthcare communications network built to make creativity, and creative technology, a force for urgent health impact. Grounded in deep insight into behavior, channels, and culture, we create work that doesn't just inform-but activates. Work that accelerates decisions, advances care and drives meaningful change for the brands and patients who can't afford to wait.
