Senior Writer needed for a growing Austin, Texas-based healthcare strategic communications firm.

The ideal candidate is motivated by creating effective, original written content that speaks to different audiences – healthcare C-suites, policymakers, clinicians, and potential patients. He or she demonstrates high ownership of a project’s accuracy, effectiveness, and timeliness and is comfortable managing multiple priorities at once. He or she is also comfortable being their own editor, recognizing that a first draft is not the final deliverable, and being edited by others as a learning process.

• Experience in healthcare marketing, policy, and/or communications is recommended.

Candidates should have exceptional organizational skills, attention to detail, personal pride in a job well done, and ability to manage time and variety of deadlines. He or she will be comfortable working under tight deadlines and in collaboration with senior leadership. The ideal candidate will play a critical role in shaping the way our company is perceived by key audiences.

We believe in the importance of collaboration and that is best accomplished in-office. However, we are open to considering remote candidates who can demonstrate the ability to collaborate remotely and self-manage and can commit to in-person team meetings once a quarter.
