Editorial Jobs

Editorial teams are responsible for writing, editing and proofreading content. They need to ensure accurate and precise written copy. This involves publication planning and content, liaising with designers and clients to generate an approved design for publications. 

Medical Editors work closely with medical writers to ensure the content is clear and precise. Job roles within the editorial department consist of medical writers, editors, and directors.

Editorial Managers or Directors in medical communications agencies are usually more senior, and have experience in medical writing as well as proofing and editing copy for publication. At senior level, you would provide strategic support for the product or account.
