THE COMPANY

Octane Learning is a professional learning and medical communications agency, working exclusively for pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device, and healthcare companies. We advise on learning strategies and create the right experiences, including online study, virtual, in-person and hybrid workshops, reference resources, sales/corporate training events, and more. We also work strategically with clients to create medical education for and outreach to healthcare professionals (HCPs) so they can make informed decisions in their practices.

As we are rapidly expanding and have an opportunity for a Scientific Writer/Content Specialist to join our team in Princeton, New Jersey.

THE LOCATION

This position requires work to be performed from our Princeton, NJ offices.

THE WORK

Reporting to the Director of Content and Strategy, you'll develop the content for: (1) several different styles of training, primarily interactive media such as eLearning, instructor-led courses/workshops, videos, and print resources; and (2) medical communications activities such as advisory boards, symposia, and speaker slide decks For these materials, within the constraints of our/clients' guidelines, you will:
  • Review client's goals and strategy
  • When appropriate, develop learning objectives, appropriate for the audience (role, level)
  • Create or select content (medical, legal, regulatory) that is accurate and flows logically
  • Apply general instructional design techniques, including (where appropriate) creating exercises and assessments, feedback, virtual meeting needs, ensuring materials are suitable for later translation, etc.
  • Obtain and incorporate input and insights from clients, subject matter experts (SMEs), key opinion leaders (KOLs), and other team members
  • Reference the content according to the established referencing standards
  • Provide additional strategic support, such as attending and developing executive summaries from advisory board meetings
Content spans life science company requirements, from medical to policy and procedures, compliance, etc. You'll be working primarily in Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint, often inside existing templates. You will work closely with internal team members to ensure successful project completion and delivery.

You'll also collaborate with your colleagues in the creative and development departments to help deliver the content in a way that is most impactful for the learner. This may involve a casual conversation or a brainstorming session to generate new ideas for presenting the information.

There will likely be opportunities for additional work in curriculum design, audit and gap analysis, content creation for marketing collateral, as well as learning strategy, as the workload presents, and your capacity/interest aligns.

As our work is collaborative, it will be necessary to work from our Princeton, NJ office, with some flexibility.

THE CANDIDATE

You have a Masters or Doctoral degree in a medical/scientific discipline.

You are proficient in PowerPoint and Word, with excellent writing and editorial skills - an English degree or minor is a plus.

You have the ability to convert scientific data into a clear, scientifically sound, well-structured 'story'.

You are well-organized, with strong attention to detail.

You have good presentation, communication, and interpersonal skills.

You should have the capacity to:
  • Work in a fast-paced environment, pivoting to the highest priority or client need
  • Bring creative ideas to the presentation and delivery of content
  • Faithfully execute written and verbal instructions and seek clarification, when needed
  • Work within established timelines and our clients' regulated environments
  • Attend project and client meetings, sometimes presenting your work
  • Consider or explore the needs and perspective of your audience
  • Speak your mind if you feel a project or process can be improved
  • Learn new things and cultivate your capabilities as the workload may dictate
THE FIT

We are more interested in finding the right talent and attitude than the exact match to a list of skills and qualifications. We're looking for someone that is excited and motivated to learn new things in creating learning/training/medical communications resources in scientific, compliance, and regulatory areas.
