Job Description :

クライアントである大手製薬会社（主に外資系）のマーケティングコミュニケーション支援。
医療従事者向けを中心に、患者や一般消費者向けのコミュニケーション活動にかかわる各種コンテンツ開発の業務全般。 クライアントのパートナーとして、コンテンツ開発のプロセス全体に関与し、 メディカルライティング業務（外部ライターの併用可）、他職種と連携したディレクション業務を行います。 また、チームメンバーとともに、問題解決やビジネス目標を達成するためのアイデア提案、開発を行います。
医療用医薬品分野におけるプロモーション資材・コンテンツ作成の経験が必須（5年以上、尚可）。

Responsible for reviewing copy, proofing to detect and correct errors in spelling, punctuation, and syntax and verifying medical accuracy of information/data/claims. Prepare, rewrite and edit copy to improve readability. Verify facts, dates, and statistics, using standard reference sources.

-Must be adept at searching the internet for primary medical research; this requires familiarity with resources such as PubMed, Google Scholar, government websites, etc.
-Must be very familiar and comfortable with medical content and terminology. The claims that need sourcing are written for consumers but they need to be annotated with references that are acceptable to medical, legal, and regulatory reviewers at the client drug companies and the FDA. Therefore, the candidate should know that a claim like "having epilepsy can make you sad" ideally requires a reference to a clinical study of depression in people with epilepsy, not a reference to epilepsy.com that says "having epilepsy can make you sad."
-Must know the difference between an acceptable source and an unacceptable source. The New England Journal of Medicine is an acceptable source, WebMD and Wikipedia are not. Official government websites are usually acceptable, commercial websites seldom are. (Some clients are more nit-picky than others.)
-Must be detail oriented and able to keep track of resources for multiple accounts. Must be able to work independently!
-This job does not actually involve editing per se; however, a candidate with superior fact-checking skills is required.
-Familiarity with, or the ability to quickly get up to speed on, at least one of the following disease areas: Diabetes, Respiratory, Infectious Disease, Cardiovascular, Neurology, Addiction disorders, is necessary
-Familiarity with web-based regulatory review & routing systems (ie: Veeva Vault or Zinc) would be great.
-Annotate marketing materials to support claims in preparation for MLR submissions.
-Familiar with the FDA guidelines around consumer pharmaceutical social practices.
