Job Title: Medical Writer - Value and Access Principal AMCP
Work Model: Onsite preferred; Lake County / Chicago area preferred - Remote candidates will be considered
Assignment Length: 12 months to start (extension based on performance and budget)
 
Role Overview:
This role focuses on the development and management of high-quality AMCP dossiers to support payer and managed care decision-making. Due to an active backlog, the team is seeking an experienced medical writer who can jump in quickly with minimal ramp-up and take ownership of multiple dossiers simultaneously. The position is pan-therapeutic and requires strong hands-on medical writing skills along with the ability to lead cross-functional teams, manage timelines, and confidently communicate with senior scientific and medical stakeholders. This is a writing-first role, not a pure project management position.
 
Key Responsibilities:

• Develop, write, edit, and manage submission-ready AMCP dossiers and payer-facing scientific materials.
• Lead AMCP dossier planning, kickoff meetings, timelines, and cross-functional collaboration.
• Work closely with Health Outcomes Research, Medical Payer Strategy, Therapeutic Area leads, and Global Medical Information teams.
• Incorporate therapeutic area strategies, scientific platforms, and value messages into dossiers.
• Conduct and synthesize literature reviews, clinical trial data, and health outcomes information.
• Analyze and interpret scientific and clinical data from internal and external sources, including Phase I–III trials.
• Translate complex scientific and statistical information into clear, balanced, and credible content for payer audiences.
• Support multiple assets and therapeutic areas simultaneously in a fast-paced environment.
• Manage review cycles, revisions, and approvals using document management systems such as Veeva.
• Identify and proactively resolve issues during the writing and review process.
• Ensure all content complies with applicable regulations, policies, and industry standards.
• Maintain compliance with adverse event reporting and product complaint procedures.
• Stay current with industry best practices related to medical writing and managed care communications.

 
Qualifications and Experience:
 
Education

• Advanced degree preferred: PhD, PharmD, MD, MS, DDS, or equivalent with relevant experience.

Required Experience

• Strong experience in medical writing within pharma, biotech, or related environments.
• Pharma or industry experience.
• Demonstrated experience developing AMCP dossiers is highly preferred.
• Strong background in:
  • Literature reviews
  • Clinical trial data interpretation (Phase I–III)
  • Scientific data synthesis and summarization
• Ability to manage multiple projects and lead cross-functional teams.
• Confidence in leading meetings, setting timelines, and managing stakeholders.
• Extensive publications experience (manuscripts, abstracts, posters), or Regulatory, payer-related, or outcomes-focused writing experience would be a bonus.

 
Preferred Experience

• Experience in managed care, access, or formulary-related writing.
• HEOR or outcomes research exposure is a strong plus.
• Working knowledge of statistical concepts and interpretation (no analysis required).

 
Technical Skills

• Highly proficient in Microsoft Word and PowerPoint.
• Experience with Excel, SharePoint, and Veeva preferred.
• Strong organizational, communication, and problem-solving skills.

 
Additional Notes

• Onsite presence is preferred to support collaboration, but strong remote candidates will be considered.
• The role involves handling 2 to 3 AMCP dossiers at the same time.
• Candidates must be comfortable working independently, speaking up, and taking ownership.
• Senior candidates with extensive experience will be considered if aligned with the role.
• Accuracy and honesty around AMCP dossier experience is critical.
