Opportunity Overview Breaking Data seeks a meticulous Senior Editorial and Quality Lead to serve as the central hub for editorial excellence across pharmaceutical and healthcare deliverables.

Ideal for an experienced editor passionate about the craft of editing.
About the Role The Senior Editorial and Quality Lead will own editorial quality control as the central hub across all deliverables—from post‑medical writing drafts through design layouts, internal strategy reviews, and client approvals. This hands‑on role encompasses proofreading, light editing, layout verification, and workflow coordination for slides, print materials, digital assets, training modules, and long‑form content, serving pharmaceutical and healthcare clients.
Work closely with medical writers, designers, strategists, and account teams to ensure grammar, style, accuracy, and layout integrity meet the highest agency and client standards.
Key Responsibilities
Proofread and edit copy developed by medical writers for grammar, clarity, consistency, spelling, accuracy, AMA Manual of Style, and client‑specific guidelines.
Verify references, superscripts, citations, medical terminology, numeric values, units, symbols, and data formatting.
Perform light editing or rewrites to address minor issues and maintain project efficiency.
Ensure content aligns with each client's editorial style, tone, branding expectations, and regulatory requirements (including PI/ISI placement when applicable).
Confirm correct application of references, anchors, superscripts, and citation formatting.
Review designed documents and slides (PowerPoint, InDesign, PDFs) to confirm clean, consistent formatting and layout.
Verify alignment between copy and design elements (tables, charts, visuals, callouts); identify inconsistencies in spacing, bullets, alignment, superscripts, or content order that could alter meaning.
Manage editorial checkpoints and coordinate handoffs across medical writers, designers, internal strategy reviewers, and clients on multiple concurrent projects.
Implement QC edits directly; track and ensure all internal, client, and MLR feedback is accurately incorporated with proper version control and file naming.
Serve as the final quality assurance step before client delivery.
Requirements
Minimum 4–5 years of editorial or proofreading experience in a healthcare, pharmaceutical, or medical communications agency setting.
Strong knowledge of the AMA Manual of Style and the ability to apply client‑specific style guides and branding requirements.
Experience reviewing healthcare or scientific content with a high level of accuracy for terminology, data, units, and references.
Demonstrated ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines in a fast‑paced, detail‑oriented environment.
Proficiency in Microsoft Office, Adobe Acrobat Pro, and cloud‑based document systems (e.g., SharePoint/OneDrive).
Exceptional attention to detail and a commitment to editorial precision and quality control.
Strong communication and collaboration skills for working with medical writers, designers, strategists, and account teams.
Education Bachelor’s degree in English, Communications, Journalism, or a related field; a life sciences background is a plus but not required for this role.
Work Environment Our Cherry Hill, NJ office offers a flexible and collaborative environment. We align projects with each team member's core skills, striking a balance between fun and efficiency to achieve our goals and those of our clients.
This is a hybrid position, with 3 days onsite and 2 days remote.
