  • Proven experience in medical writing within a medical communications agency or similar environment
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills
  • Ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a fast-paced environment


Cognite’s agency values – Everyone matters; Science at the heart; Entrepreneurial mindset; True partners; and Doing the right thing – shape how we work every day. We believe every individual can make a positive difference; we put science at the core of everything we do; we embrace curiosity and courage to find solutions; we build lasting partnerships focused on shared goals; and we act with integrity and inclusivity in all our interactions.


Our benefits include:

  • Discretionary company bonus and incentive schemes
  • Hybrid working (home-based + co-working space in Holborn, Central London)
