Why PRECISION AQ ?

When you love what you do, it won't feel like work. Who says your calling and career have to be mutually exclusive? People who join us at PRECISION AQ are drawn to our agency because of their passion for and commitment to truly cutting-edge and incredible work - they stay for our ethos of wecentricity , the community and collaboration we foster here. Launching clients' treatments. Changing patients' lives. Advancing creativity and strategy, improving results and outcomes. We do our best and most innovative work when it's fueled by purpose and comprised of the unique and varied perspectives and abilities of Precision AQ Team Members across the globe.

At PRECISION AQ , talent is displayed in the work, not flaunted in plumes of conceit. Here, cooperation and wecentricity are what we champion. Are you a self-effacing rock star? A sensible diva? A down-to-earth maestro? Have we got a stage for you. Our people are wildly talented, clever, and inspiring.

Who we are :

The mission of Medical Services is to ensure document accuracy and relevance and, as the medical/scientific voice of the agency, inspire colleagues and clients with new ideas born of strategic scientific insights. As Medical staff advance in their careers, they do less tactical work and more strategic/supervisory work. These tasks are not meant to be exclusive to job titles . Junior Medical staff, supported by more senior colleagues, should dabble in tasks assigned to more advanced titles. This experience will be valuable in justifying promotions and in identifying special talents. Senior Medical staff can help with more tactical tasks associated with more junior titles in a pinch. All Medical staff should, throughout their careers, continually deepen their expertise in the following areas: molecular biology, molecular genetics, genetics, immunology, pharmacology, anatomy and physiology, clinical trial design, and statistics .

Who you are :

You will work independently and proactively to create core claims from clinical and scientific documents, fact check documents, conduct literature searches, create figures and tables, and educate your teammates on aspects of science and medicine that relate to the brands they work on. You will collaborate with copy writers to help verify and source claims and perform advanced insight mining tasks, like writing competitive intelligence summaries, comparing product labels, analyzing the peer-reviewed medical literature, clinical study reports, and statistical analysis plans . You will attend MLR meetings and document key decisions and provide solutions for problematic claims/messages.

  • Based on your knowledge of the client's strategic objectives and your understanding of the scientific literature, make recommendations to the team on new tactics or programs
  • Review creative concepts and provide guidance on supportability of claims; tailor "risk" of borderline claims to the situation and advise team accordingly
