This is a rare, hybrid role that blends advanced medical and scientific expertise with hands-on creative and video production leadership. Reporting to the Managing Director of The Doctor’s Channel, the successful candidate will translate complex clinical and scientific concepts into compelling, compliant video scripts and storyboards; brief and direct medical script writers; and own the medical, legal, and regulatory (MLR) submission process end-to-end through Veeva Vault PromoMats.

Key Responsibilities

• Serve as the medical and scientific subject-matter expert for HCP video content, ensuring accuracy, clarity, and compliance across all scripts, storyboards, and finished assets.

• Review, revise, and create addendums to medical video scripts and storyboards using the clinical and scientific terminology of the HCP world.

• Develop HCP medical video content and take it through the full approval lifecycle, from concept to final sign-off.

• Support video production across all phases — pre-production, production, and post-production — ensuring scientific and medical integrity is maintained throughout.

• Act as a client-facing partner on video shoots, representing The Doctor’s Channel professionally and providing scientific and creative guidance on set.

• Travel throughout the United States as required for video shoots and client engagements.

Key Outcomes

• HCP video content that is scientifically accurate, on-brand, and cleared through MLR with minimal avoidable rework or delay.

• Faster, smoother MLR cycles enabled by disciplined Veeva Vault PromoMats management and complete submission ownership.

• Medical script writers and production teams consistently equipped with clear briefs, assets, and scientific direction.

• A positive, confident client experience on set and throughout content development.

• Scalable medical content capability that supports The Doctor’s Channel’s growing video production volume and MLR cycles.

Skills & Experience

• Able to effectively communicate with medical script writers to explain a video script’s goals, any visuals and tone, and provide all assets and resources for the writer.

• Familiarity with the medical, clinical, and scientific terminology of the HCP world, with the ability to make revisions and addendums to a medical video script/storyboard.

• Experience developing and taking through approval HCP medical video content.
