The Fountain Group is currently seeking a Senior Medical Content Writer, Claims-Capable for a prominent client of ours. This position is located in South San Francisco, CA. Details for the position are as follows:
 
Pay: $44.61 - $68.20
Duration: 3 months duration + High chance for extension
Working Model: Hybrid (Tue-Wed-Thu in office)
Working days: Monday through Friday
Working hours: 8 AM to 4 PM

What You Bring
  • 5–8 years of medical writing experience in pharma, biotech, or a medical communications agency, with direct experience writing and substantiating claims.
  • Deep familiarity with the MLR review process and what makes claims approvable: substantiation standards, referencing conventions, and common reviewer objections.
  • Strong command of AMA style and the ability to read and accurately interpret clinical trial data, publications, and prescribing information.
  • Understanding of FDA/OPDP promotional regulations, fair balance requirements, and ISI standards.
  • Range as a writer: able to move between rigorous scientific accuracy and accessible, engaging language for different audiences (HCP, patient, internal).
  • Meticulous attention to detail in referencing, annotation, and version control.
  • Nice to Have
  • Advanced degree in life sciences (PharmD, PhD, MS) or equivalent scientific depth.
  • Experience with Veeva Vault PromoMats annotation workflows.
  • Oncology, immunology, or biologics therapeutic area experience.
  • Experience working inside an in-house studio or embedded content team.
 
About the Role
  • We are looking for a Senior Medical Content Writer who can do the hardest kind of writing in pharma: claims. You will develop, substantiate, and annotate promotional and educational claims, and write the medical content that carries them — accurately, clearly, and in a way that survives MLR review without losing its edge.
  • You will work embedded in an in-house creative studio, alongside creative directors and designers, which means your writing needs to work as creative material, not just as reference text.
 
What You'll Do
  • Write the medical content, pretty self-explanatory
  • Must understand applicable regulations, MLR reviews, etc.
  • Draft, refine, and substantiate promotional and non-promotional claims grounded in clinical data, prescribing information, and peer-reviewed literature.
  • Build annotated references and claim substantiation packages ready for MLR submission.
  • Write medical content across formats: HCP materials, patient education, disease-state content, congress panels, digital assets, video scripts, and sales materials.
  • Ensure fair balance, accurate ISI integration, and on-label alignment in all promotional content.
  • Partner with medical affairs and regulatory reviewers to resolve claim language efficiently; anticipate objections and offer compliant alternatives proactively.
  • Collaborate with creative directors and designers so that copy and visual concepts develop together rather than sequentially.
  • Maintain claim libraries and reference databases to accelerate reuse across the portfolio.
