What You'll Do
• Lead the Scientific Affairs team, managing direct reports and driving training, onboarding, and ongoing professional development across the group
• Use AI tools to improve the speed and quality of content development, literature analysis, proposal writing, and educational program execution
• Collaborate with the Business Development team to achieve business and revenue goals through strategic proposal development, grant writing, and client engagement
• Identify clinical and educational gaps that represent CE programming opportunities, and translate those insights into fundable, high-impact educational initiatives
• Develop and oversee text-based and multimedia CE-certified activities - live and online - ensuring all content meets ACPE and relevant regulatory standards
• Stay current on clinical data, therapeutic area trends, medical writing standards, and regulatory developments that affect educational programming and grant funding strategies
• Serve as internal subject matter advisor across educational partnerships, instructional design, adult learning principles, outcomes assessment, and ACPE policy

• Lead conference calls and communications with clients, faculty, and authors - serving as a trusted strategic partner and scientific voice for PTCE
• Serve as PTCE's senior representative at assigned core conferences, supporting on-site execution of educational activities as needed
• Lead significant process improvement and workflow management efforts, and manage continuous internal quality improvement initiatives
• Identify opportunities for publication and presentation on continuing professional development and educational outcomes
• Travel approximately 15 to 20 percent of the time for project-related work, conference representation, and office-based meetings

• At least 5 years of experience managing people, with a track record of building and developing high-performing scientific or medical education teams
• At least 5 years of experience in medical education grant writing and content development in CME or CE
• An AI-native mindset. You actively use tools such as ChatGPT, Claude, or AI-assisted research and writing platforms to improve how you develop content, analyze literature, and lead your team - and you can speak to the impact
• Deep knowledge of ACPE and other regulatory standards governing the development of CME and CE activities
• Exceptional writing and editing skills in medical education and publishing, including the ability to interpret complex clinical data and present it with clarity and precision
• Strong command of evidence-based medicine across multiple therapeutic areas, with the ability to conduct and apply independent literature analysis
• Results-oriented, analytical, and highly organized - you thrive in deadline-driven environments and hold yourself and your team to an uncompromising standard of quality
• Self-motivated and collaborative, with impeccable time management and the ability to manage multiple complex projects and competing priorities simultaneously
• Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently while maintaining alignment with organizational goals and client expectations
AI Capability Expectation

• Specific tools in active use and how they support content development, literature review, proposal writing, or team workflows
• Measurable impact such as improved program quality, faster content development cycles, or increased grant success rates
• How you approach AI use responsibly in a regulated medical education environment, including compliance with ACPE and CME standards
• Bonus: examples of AI-assisted educational programs, content frameworks, or operational improvements that elevated scientific output or team performance
Compensation Range
$165,000 to $180,000 per year, depending on qualifications. Eligible for annual company bonus program or commission incentive based on role. Compensation will depend on factors including educational background, skills, and professional experience.
