Ensure Scientific Accuracy in Life-Sciences Communications
In the world of medical and pharmaceutical communications, precision is paramount. Every data point, citation, and claim must be meticulously verified to uphold scientific integrity, ensure regulatory compliance, and ultimately support healthcare professionals and patients.
We are seeking a detail-oriented and knowledgeable Scientific Quality Control Reviewer to be the final checkpoint for our medical content. In this vital remote role, you will ensure all materials—from promotional assets to medical education documents—are accurate, consistent, and fully aligned with the latest scientific evidence, approved product labels, and regulatory guidelines. If you have an eagle eye for detail, a strong understanding of medical references, and a passion for upholding the highest standards of quality, we want you on our team.
Your Mission: Guardian of Scientific and Regulatory Integrity
You will be responsible for the end-to-end quality control of medical and scientific assets, acting as a critical gatekeeper before materials reach their final audience.
Key Responsibilities
1. Scientific & Reference Accuracy
- Cross-check all scientific statements and data against their cited references (e.g., clinical studies, guidelines) to verify accuracy and completeness.
- Conduct Reference QC: ensure reference integrity, propose updates to outdated sources, and align statements with the latest data (e.g., updated KDIGO, ACC/AHA guidelines).
- Review and add anchor links to appropriate references for digital materials, adhering to established tagging protocols.
2. Regulatory & Label Compliance
- Ensure all content is strictly aligned with the latest locally approved Product Label/SPC and flag any potential off-label communications.
- QC essential regulatory information, including Important Safety Information (ISI), Brand/Generic Names, and Adverse Event Reporting statements.
3. Editorial & Consistency Review
- Perform a high-level QC of the entire asset for Branding, Style, Format, Grammar, Spelling, and Punctuation.
- Review footnote information, terminology, and citation style (e.g., AMA, Vancouver) to ensure consistency throughout all materials.
- Verify the accuracy and completeness of all disclosures and required legends.
4. Process & Documentation
- Quality check, and at times create, accurate documentation and checklists for Asset Technical and Medical/Legal/Regulatory (MLR) review processes.
- Ensure all QC activities are based on and adhere to local market guidelines, practices, and regulations.
