Requirements :

  • Bachelor's degree in advertising, marketing, communications, English, journalism, or a related field.
  • 8-10 years of experience in an agency setting, with at least 6 years in pharmaceutical copy leadership.
  • Exceptional copywriting, storytelling, and communication skills.
  • Proven ability to manage cross-functional teams and mentor creative talent.
  • Strong conceptual thinking and ability to connect abstract ideas into compelling narratives.
  • Deep understanding of social platforms (e.g., X / Twitter, Instagram, YouTube) and emerging cultural trends.
  • Experience navigating regulatory processes and medical / legal review (MLR).
  • Ability to quickly grasp complex medical and technical content and translate it into clear, engaging messaging.
  • The annual base salary for this position ranges from $140,000 to $160,000. The base salary range represents the anticipated low and high of the Syneos Health range for this position.
