This role sets the clinical learning strategy and develops scientifically rigorous content for pipeline assets. It translates complex and emerging evidence into clear, accurate learning experiences. Learning journeys evolve with each asset from early pipeline awareness through launch readiness and post-approval transition.
Key Responsibilities
- • Set the learning strategy. Own the phase-appropriate clinical content and learning strategy for assigned pipeline assets, aligning priorities with evidence maturity, asset milestones, audience needs, launch readiness, and post-approval transition.
- • Translate science into learning. Develop accurate, audience-appropriate content on disease state, target biology, mechanism of action, unmet need, development strategy, trial design, efficacy, safety, patient populations, and the evolving treatment landscape.
- • Prepare commercial field teams for launch. Create accurate, balanced, and audience-appropriate clinical learning content for commercial field teams before a new product launch, coordinating with commercial learning and compliance partners.
- • Lead field medical onboarding content. Own the pipeline clinical-content component of field medical new-hire training, ensuring curricula build foundational disease-state, product, and scientific-exchange capabilities.
- • Create reusable content. Build modular source content that supports consistent development of learning modules, clinical backgrounders, facilitator resources, assessments, and field-facing tools.
- • Partner across functions. Work with clinical development, medical affairs, safety, regulatory, evidence generation, and therapeutic-area experts to understand pipeline strategy, emerging data, asset milestones, and learner needs.
- • Lead review and approval. Coordinate scientific, medical, and compliance review; reconcile feedback; document decisions; and ensure content is accurate, balanced, substantiated, and appropriate for its intended use.
- • Keep content current. Monitor literature and source data, verify references, manage versions and dependencies, and update or retire content as evidence, safety information, development strategy, and business priorities change.
- • Deliver through a matrixed model. Manage multiple assets, stakeholders, vendors, review cycles, timelines, and deliverables while providing clear scientific direction and maintaining high quality standards.
Required
- • Bachelor’s degree in life sciences, learning and development, or a related field.
- • At least 7 years of relevant experience in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry, including clinical learning, field medical, scientific communications, medical affairs, or a related area.
- • Demonstrated experience interpreting clinical data and developing high-quality scientific content.
- • Strong scientific writing, editing, and stakeholder communication skills.
- • Experience navigating cross-functional scientific review and approval processes in a regulated environment.
Preferred
- • Advanced degree, such as a PharmD, PhD, MD, NP, MS, or MA.
