Developing high-quality scientific content and interpreting scientific data accurately and appropriately across several disease states in clinical neurosciences, rare neurological diseases (pediatric and adult), psychiatry, infectious disease, women's health, and oncology.Responsibilities:1. Support brand strategy consistent with client's objectives and messages, and manage project schedule to meet delivery deadlines2. Familiar with and work within project scope (specification and budget hours) and objectives. Monitor project progress, scope changes, and own hours sufficient to flag variances to project manager and act accordingly3. Undertake necessary research on topics/literature searches relevant to assigned projects and maintain familiarity with available information sources4. Liaise with all key opinion leaders (clinicians/scientists/authors) or other external parties in such a way as to foster strong and positive relationships and to ensure project success5. Maintain familiarity with and adhere to departmental SOPs (those related to quality control and all others) and proactively use knowledge and experience for the benefit of project delivery and business success6. Proactively assess project needs and work to identify how these can be best met, to the benefit of client satisfaction and project profitability7. Identify technical and process issues and work with internal cross-functional teams, client, and/or external bodies to resolve them
