My role

As a medical writer, my role is to write, review and supervise the content that every single material we produce requires. I ensure that the tone of the content is appropriate to the target audience, the information is properly communicated, as well as to summarise and/or express in clearer concepts what the material is about.

The role

This role is for those who have studied life sciences and are always on the lookout for news and advancements in medicine, without wanting to stay in a lab or hospital. As this role requires to be properly informed at all times and to work on comprehension and communication skills, you’ll need to be naturally curious and willing to learn constantly.

Best bits

I love the team building DDB Health Barcelona has, as well as the values we hold, which makes the day-to-day very easy and comfortable. I really appreciate being able to learn constantly, not only from my team but from others as well, and to have the opportunity to challenge myself with new projects every day.
