Editorial Assistant

At Ashfield MedComms, we live and breathe our values and are committed to excellence. Our people are the key to our success. As such, finding new talent to join our team is fundamental to driving our business forwards. This is the place to grow your career.

We currently have an opening, based preferably at our Macclesfield or Manchester offices as a hybrid position, for an Senior Editorial Assistant. This role requires a brief covering letter.

The Senior Editorial Assistant is responsible for using their editorial and process-related experience to develop materials that effectively and clearly communicate medical and scientific information. Senior Editorial Assistants provide editorial support for a wide range of content and multiple audiences.

Senior Editorial Assistants provide editorial support for publications-related scientific medical content (such as publication plans, clinical study manuscripts, and congress-associated materials), or medical affairs or promotional content (such as meetings reports, slide sets, training materials, or booth materials).

Working closely with account and wider editorial support team, you will organise, take responsibility for and deliver all relevant stages of deliverables with editorial content, to enable our clients to meet desired objectives.

This position lies within a multifunctional account team setting, also collaborating with other colleagues across the business (e.g. creative and production studio, medical information teams and market research teams) to deliver high-quality outputs that support programme objectives.

The Senior Editorial Assistant will normally be responsible for editorial support for at least one client account and related projects.

The post holder will report directly to the Editorial Specialist Lead or Editorial Services Manager, and may have full line management responsibilities for Editorial Assistants.
