The posting

Do you have a passion for scientific writing and clinical research?

Then, join Fortrea as our next Medical Writer 1 and help ensure new medicines are safe for patients while kick-starting a global career in clinical trials.

Fortrea Clinical Pharmacology Services (CPS) supports the earliest and most critical phases of clinical development. Our teams work across project management, clinical operations, data, biometrics, laboratories, and scientific functions to deliver early‑phase and complex multi‑site studies for global sponsors.

From first‑in‑human studies to Phase 1B and exploratory programs, CPS generates the safety, tolerability, PK, and PD data that guide drug development decisions.

LOCATION

As one of the largest Clinical Research Organizations (CROs) in the world, we have four Early Phase Clinical Research Units (CRU) in the UK and US… and the jewel in the crown is our CRU at Drapers Yard Leeds. A brand new, world class, state-of-the-art 65,000 ft² Phase I clinic only 7 minutes walking from the train station.

This is a full-time, permanent job, ideal for candidates living in the Yorkshire area, as we offer a hybrid work model:

  • Initially, 3 days’ office presence in Leeds for training and teamwork is needed. Rest of the week, you could work remote.

WHAT YOU WILL DO

As a Medical Writer 1 you will play a key role mobilizing cross-functional teams in the development of essential clinical documents for early phase clinical trials (I-IIa), with a focus on safety and pharmacokinetics.

Learn the science behind Medical Writing

You will learn how to develop the documents that enable the conduct of a clinical trial and to analyze the data that will help the sponsor to decide the future of their molecule.

With on-the-job training and guidance from your colleagues and managers, by the end of your first year, success means you'll be able to:

  • Drive the development of simple design Protocols and Clinical Study Reports (CSRs) with minimal supervision,
  • Navigate the fast-paced timeliness of the document development cycle.

This includes:

  • Critically reviewing and interpreting clinical research data (particularly Pharmacokinetics and Safety),
  • Condensing data and conclusions into clear concise language in Protocols and CSRs.

Project Manage the document development cycle from start to final deliverable

You´ll be the nexus where multiple teams´ expertise converge. You will coordinate and collaborate with multiple stakeholders, steer discussion, drive consensus and facilitate decision-making to propel the document development cycle forward:

  • Ensuring alignment with sponsor goals and project milestones while monitoring study progress.
  • Fostering regular communication with subject matter experts (SMEs) to streamline document development (getting inputs timely, consolidating contributions or answering questions.)

Manage client interaction

  • Setting client expectations with document development
  • Addressing feedback and confidently leading meetings with Big Pharma and Biotech clients

WHO YOU ARE

  • Bachelor's degree in biomedical, life sciences, or a related discipline.
  • You'll need to bring either relevant professional experience in a scientific environment OR a recently completed PhD in a relevant scientific discipline.
  • Professional experience could include working in a fast-paced research lab, healthcare or other science-based setting, with exposure to experimental data analysis and results report writing.

Ideally, you'll also have experience working collaboratively across several teams and interacting directly with clients or external stakeholders. Some medical writing experience, particularly within a CRO, Pharma or Biotech environment, is ideal but not essential. If you're new to medical writing, we'll be looking for strong scientific writing, analytical skills and attention to detail developed through your professional experience or PhD.

To succeed in this job, you'll need to be proactive, adaptable and an excellent communicator. You'll be comfortable with changing priorities and requirements, and able to adjust your work as the needs of clients and project teams evolve.

WHY FORTREA?

  • Diverse Career Path: Unique training schemes and opportunities to shape your career path.
  • Supportive Environment: Comprehensive training, management support, and a network of SMEs to help you thrive.
  • Career Growth: Whether you're passionate about scientific writing or aspire to leadership roles, your journey with us is driven by your aspirations.

Join Fortrea and be part of a team that values your skills and supports your career growth. Where do you see yourself?

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
