Job Summary

The Senior Scientific Director is a senior leader within the Medical team, responsible for driving scientific excellence, strategic insight, and peer-level client partnership across a portfolio of accounts.

Our core clients are Medical Affairs professionals, and this role is expected to engage them as a credible peer and strategic thought partner, bringing both scientific depth and practical understanding of how Medical Affairs operates within complex organizations.

This role combines hands-on leadership of key accounts with broader strategic influence. You will lead scientific strategy and content across multiple programs, partner closely with Client Services and Medical Strategy to drive organic growth and contribute meaningfully to new business efforts.

• Drive delivery of highly targeted, insight-driven medical and scientific communications, aligning data, narrative, and channel strategy to maximize influence
• Partner with Medical Strategy to formulate clear, differentiated, and actionable recommendations for current and prospective clients
• Translate complex scientific and clinical data into focused, decision-relevant insights that shape communication strategies and drive adoption
• Provide senior-level scientific oversight across deliverables, ensuring accuracy, depth, and strategic alignment
• Continuously integrate therapeutic area evolution, competitive intelligence, and emerging evidence into strategic recommendations

• Demonstrate a deep understanding of Medical Affairs priorities (e.g., evidence generation, scientific exchange, field impact, payer relevance) and align solutions accordingly
• Partner with Client Services to identify and drive organic growth opportunities rooted in unmet client needs
• Contribute to new business efforts with strategically differentiated scientific input

Team Leadership & Development

• Mentor and elevate team members in both scientific rigor and strategic thinking, with an emphasis on insight generation and application
• Provide high-quality, actionable feedback that strengthens both content and underlying strategic rationale
• Build team capabilities in precision communication moving beyond information delivery to influence clinical behavior
• Foster a culture of curiosity, accountability, and excellence

Operational & Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Partner cross-functionally with Client Services, Strategy, Data Analytics, Creative, and Project Management to deliver integrated, insight-driven solutions
• Ensure all work meets high scientific standards while also achieving strategic and business objectives
• Support financial planning, forecasting, and resource allocation across accounts
• Collaborate with US Marketing to ensure alignment between medical communications and promotional strategy, while maintaining scientific integrity

• Significant experience in a healthcare communications agency or Medical Affairs–aligned environment
• Demonstrated ability to engage Medical Affairs clients as a peer and strategic partner
