Note: This is a W2 only role — C2C, C2H will not be considered


Summary of the Role:


BEPC is seeking a highly motivated Senior Medical Content Writer, Claims to join our client’s site in South San Francisco, CA. This role will support the development, substantiation, and annotation of promotional and educational claims, as well as the medical content that carries them—accurately, clearly, and in a way that can successfully navigate Medical, Legal, and Regulatory (MLR) review without losing its edge.


The Senior Medical Content Writer will work within an in-house creative studio alongside creative directors and designers. The writing must function as creative material, not solely as reference text. Various professional backgrounds may be considered; however, candidates with direct claims-development experience will be viewed as front-runners.



Summary of Duties and Responsibilities:


  • Draft, refine, develop, and substantiate promotional and non-promotional claims grounded in clinical data, prescribing information, and peer-reviewed literature.
  • Build annotated references and claim-substantiation packages ready for MLR submission.
  • Write medical content across multiple formats, including HCP materials, patient education, disease-state content, congress panels, digital assets, video scripts, and sales materials.
  • Ensure fair balance, accurate ISI integration, and on-label alignment in all promotional content.
  • Partner with medical affairs and regulatory reviewers to resolve claim language efficiently, anticipate objections, and proactively offer compliant alternatives.
  • Collaborate with creative directors and designers so copy and visual concepts develop together rather than sequentially.
  • Maintain claim libraries and reference databases to accelerate reuse across the portfolio.


Qualifications:


  • 5–8 years of medical writing experience in pharma, biotech, or a medical communications agency.
  • Understanding of relevant regulations and MLR review processes.
  • Deep familiarity with what makes claims approvable, including substantiation standards, referencing conventions, and common reviewer objections.
  • Strong command of AMA style and the ability to read and accurately interpret clinical trial data, publications, and prescribing information.
  • Understanding of FDA/OPDP promotional regulations, fair-balance requirements, and ISI standards.
  • Ability to move between rigorous scientific accuracy and accessible, engaging language for different audiences, including healthcare professionals, patients, and internal audiences.
  • Meticulous attention to detail in referencing, annotation, and version control.


Preferred Qualifications:


  • Direct experience developing, writing, and substantiating promotional or educational claims.
  • Advanced degree in life sciences, such as a PharmD, PhD, or MS, or equivalent scientific depth.
  • Experience with Veeva Vault PromoMats annotation workflows.
  • Oncology, immunology, or biologics therapeutic-area experience.
  • Experience working inside an in-house studio or embedded content team.
