For regulatory writers

You write the documents that get read by a regulator.

Regulatory and medical writing roles, contract and permanent, including EU MDR and IVDR technical documentation, with clients who know the difference between a writer and a formatter.

Why people in your role call us

Writing roles get advertised as writing roles. They are judgement roles.

A job posting will ask for years of experience and a document type. It will not ask whether you can argue a benefit-risk position, hold a claim to what the data actually supports, or write a response that closes a review question rather than inviting three more.

So the screen selects for people who have produced documents, not people who have defended them. Then the client is surprised when the first draft needs rewriting by the medical director.

We screen for the argument. If you have taken a document through review questions and out the other side, that is what we put in front of the client.

What we place you into

The engagements we typically place writers into.

01

Regulatory writing

Modules, dossiers, briefing packages and responses to authority questions.

02

Clinical writing

Protocols, clinical study reports and patient-facing summaries.

03

EU MDR and IVDR documentation

Technical documentation, clinical evaluation and post-market surveillance writing.

04

510(k) and PMA support

US device submissions, including predicate argumentation.

05

Publications and med comms

Manuscripts, abstracts and congress material.

06

Remediation writing

Rewriting files that did not survive a gap assessment.

What we ask you

The screen is technical, not a keyword match.

We ask about the argument, not the template.

  • A review question you answered and how you closed it
  • A claim you pushed back on because the data did not support it
  • How you work with a medical or regulatory reviewer who disagrees with you
  • Which document types you have owned end to end versus contributed to
  • Your experience of writing to someone else style guide rather than your own

If you can answer those properly you will be represented accurately, which is most of what goes wrong elsewhere.

Rates and timelines

What you can expect.

Writing rates vary by document type, therapeutic complexity and whether the role is authoring or review. Device technical documentation and remediation work currently behave differently from traditional pharma writing.

We do not publish rate figures. What we do is tell you the client band before you interview, so you are not guessing what you are worth or discovering it at offer stage.

Typical time to first submission: Usually within a week; faster for device documentation, where demand is highest.

Questions

What regulatory writers ask us.

Is medical writing the same as regulatory writing?

Related and not interchangeable, and clients are specific about which they want. We will tell you which of your experience is being sold.

Do you place device writers as well as pharma?

Yes, and device documentation is currently where we see most demand, driven by EU MDR and IVDR remediation.

Are these roles remote?

Mostly. Writing is one of the more genuinely remote disciplines we place.

I have scientific background but limited regulatory writing history. Is that workable?

Sometimes, particularly in device and remediation work. We will be candid about which clients will consider it rather than submitting you everywhere.

Contract or permanent?

Both. Remediation and submission surges are contract; ongoing programme writing is often permanent.
