Job description

About VML Health:  

VML HEALTH is a global healthcare agency that partners with healthcare clients across a broad definition of health, from high science to wellness and everything in between. It operates fluidly within the VML agency, as a core group of health specialists (a 'vertical') that has the benefit of autonomy in management, but with support of non-health expertise. 

At the heart of health is the story of life - all the highs and lows, ambitions, and possibilities. But facing a health challenge can suddenly pull people away from these stories, knocking them off course. 

Our purpose is to bridge this gap, bringing people closer to life and all its meaning. We gain a deeper understanding of Healthcare Professionals' and patients' needs, behaviors and lived experiences through what we call 'radical empathy'. 

VML Health creates connected brands that get to the heart, bringing people closer to the lives they want to live. Get to the heart. Connect for life. 

International Meetings and Science (IMsci), a division of VML Health, works with companies to build world-class healthcare and pharmaceutical brands among medical professionals and consumers, with a transmedia storytelling approach that covers medical education strategies. 

What we're looking for: 

We're seeking an Associate Medical Director to provide strategic insight and medical direction across client projects. This role requires someone who can translate complex science into compelling medical education materials while maintaining scientific accuracy. The ideal candidate will combine scientific expertise with creative thinking to deliver effective solutions for our clients.

What you'll do:

  • Develop strategic and scientifically accurate materials
  • Write and review medical communications content
  • Conduct literature searches and data analysis
  • Manage submission processes for medical/legal/regulatory review
  • Partner with account teams on project execution
  • Build relationships with KOLs
  • Support client meetings and presentations
  • Guide scientific associates and junior team members
  • Ensure quality control of deliverables
  • Maintain reference databases and secure permissions
  • Contribute to strategic planning
  • Collaborate across departments
  • Support new business initiatives

Who you are:

  • Scientific expert with strategic mindset
  • Emerging leader and mentor
  • Detail-oriented professional
  • Creative thinker
  • Team player
  • Client service oriented
  • Process driven

What you'll need:

  • Advanced degree (PhD, PharmD, MD)
  • 1-2 years agency or pharmaceutical industry experience
  • Strong scientific writing capabilities
  • Excellent presentation skills
  • Project management abilities
  • Literature research expertise
  • Strong attention to detail
  • Ability to manage multiple projects
  • Excellent interpersonal skills
  • Willingness to learn new therapeutic areas
  • Technical proficiency in relevant software
  • Understanding of medical education landscape

What we offer: 

  • Passionate, driven people | We champion a culture of people that do extraordinary work.
  • Consciously cultivated culture | We aim to embody the behaviors to build an inclusive community that is in it together, bringing both positivity and active listening into the workplace as we simultaneously strive to empower creative bravery.
  • Competitive benefits | What we offer full time hires ranges from the full spectrum of group health coverage options (medical, dental, vision) to a generous 401k match (100% dollar-for-dollar match, up to 5% of salary contribution), and a variety of paid time off offerings that reflect our investment in all aspects of your overall life balance and wellness.
  • Growth-minded opportunities | We aim to nurture a culture of real-time feedback, growth-oriented mindset, and plenty of training opportunities through VML and WPP, so you can continue to grow personally and professionally.
