About the Role

As a Norstella Manager of Scientific & Technical Writing, you will own the quality, accuracy, and timely delivery of scientific and technical content across Norstella’s Health Economics and Outcomes Research (HEOR) engagements. This role is centered on scientific communication excellence, rigorous document development, and cross-functional coordination, supporting the translation of complex analytic work into clear, credible, and publication-ready deliverables.

You will serve as the primary writing lead for assigned projects, developing and overseeing study protocols, final reports, conference abstracts, and peer-reviewed manuscripts. While primarily focused on HEOR, you will also support select commercial workstreams as needed. You will partner closely with analytics, epidemiology, statistics, and engagement management teams to ensure that scientific content is accurate, consistent with the underlying analyses, and aligned with client objectives and applicable reporting standards.

This role is well-suited for a writer and scientific thinker who thrives on managing multiple competing priorities, collaborating with technical and client stakeholders, and communicating complex evidence with precision and clarity, and who is motivated by elevating quality standards and building scalable writing processes.

Key Responsibilities – Scientific Writing & Content Development

• Author and edit study protocols, final study reports, conference abstracts, posters, and peer-reviewed manuscripts.
• Translate complex analytic methods and results into clear, accurate, and compelling scientific narratives.
• Ensure content adheres to relevant reporting guidelines and publication standards (e.g., STROBE, RECORD, CHEERS, ICMJE, GPP).
• Support manuscript submission, journal selection, peer review responses, and revisions.
• Contribute scientific writing support to commercial workstreams as needed.

Key Responsibilities – Project Management & Delivery Excellence

• Manage multiple concurrent writing projects with competing deadlines and shifting priorities.
• Establish timelines, review cycles, and author/stakeholder responsibilities for each deliverable.
• Coordinate input and review across analytics, epidemiology, statistics, and client teams.
• Maintain version control, document tracking, and quality review processes.
• Identify and drive improvements to templates, style guides, and writing workflows.

Key Responsibilities – Collaboration & Team Leadership

• Serve as a trusted scientific communication partner to internal teams and clients.
• Present and discuss scientific content clearly in client meetings and internal reviews.
• Support mentorship and development of junior writers and analysts.
• Foster strong cross-functional collaboration.
• All other duties, as assigned.

Required Experience

• Bachelor’s degree or higher in life sciences, public health, epidemiology, health economics, pharmacy, biostatistics, or a related field
• [6-8] years of experience in scientific or medical writing, with a primary focus on HEOR or real-world evidence
• [3-5] years of experience authoring protocols, final study reports, abstracts, and peer-reviewed manuscripts
• Demonstrated record of publications and/or conference presentations in HEOR, epidemiology, or related fields
• Working knowledge of real-world data sources (e.g., claims, EMR) and observational study design
• Familiarity with HEOR-relevant conferences, journals, and guidelines (e.g., ISPOR, AMCP, ISPE)
• Experience managing multiple concurrent projects in a life sciences, consulting, or CRO environment
• Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with strong attention to detail
