About Lockwood: Lockwood collaborates with clients in the pharmaceutical, biotech, and medical device industries to identify effective, holistic, science-based strategies to address their objectives through medical communications. Our clients count on us to challenge their assumptions and help them creatively navigate around obstacles. From strategy through execution, we focus on accuracy, transparency, and scientific value to create programs that are evidence-based, clinically relevant, and contribute to the development of our clients' brands. Over a third of our staff hold advanced scientific or medical degrees, and most work from where they live. Because our flexible structure provides better work-life balance, we attract the best talent, facilitate their best work, and as a result, are more responsive to our clients, wherever and whenever they do business.
Summary: In this role, the Freelance Scientific Director is responsible for the planning, development, and oversight of scientific content for an assigned account or accounts across various therapeutic areas addressing different target audiences.
Responsibilities: Responsibilities include working with the Group Scientific Director to provide clients with strategic medical communication recommendations that support the achievement of brand goals, independently leading execution of content development activities, supervising Associate Scientific Directors, and liaising with other in-house or freelance staff to manage writing and other content-related tasks such as conducting background research, data-checking, and reference annotation.
Education: An advanced degree in science (ie. PhD, PharmD, or MD) is required. CMPP preferred.
Professional Skills and Requirements:
  • Candidates must have 5 or more years of relevant job experience with medical publications, including manuscripts, posters, abstracts, podium presentations, scientific platforms, and publication extenders.
  • This role requires demonstrated organizational, analytical, and interpersonal communication skills, as well as the ability to analyze and interpret scientific data, multitask, work independently, and manage projects within tight deadlines.
  • Experience with established professional medical editorial processes (ie. AMA style) and ethical guideline working knowledge (ie. ICMJE, GPP2022) is also required.
  • Oncology experience preferred (CAR-T and/or Multiple Myeloma)
