• Translating medical and scientific evidence into patient activation concepts, and drafting or co-creating patient materials in line with approved product information
• Partnering with Compliance, Legal and internal governance functions to ensure patient communications meet regulatory and ethical standards, and are updated as evidence and requirements evolve
• Aligning cross-functionally with Marketing, Sales, Medical, Compliance and Customer Excellence to prioritise initiatives and execute scientifically accurate, impact-driven programmes
• Adapting patient engagement content and medical strategy inputs to evolving evidence, patient needs and internal learnings – maintaining scientific rigor at every step

• An MD, PhD, DVM, DMD, PharmD or equivalent medical/scientific degree
• Experience in Medical Affairs, ideally with exposure to patient activation, patient engagement or patient education initiatives
• Experience supporting the review and approval of patient-facing scientific or medical content (preferred)
