PURPOSE

Assist in the production of high-quality patient recruitment materials for Global Patient & Site Solutions (GPSS). Contribute to the efficient running and timely completion of all projects. 

RESPONSIBILITIES

• Edit and proofread copy for a wide range of patient recruitment materials for clinical trials – including printed materials, Informed Consent Forms, Investigator Meeting slide presentations and signage, and digital materials – to agreed style/specifications, checking content, clarity, accuracy, consistency, syntax and grammar.

• Carry out senior checks (second editorial checks, layout checks) for new and less experienced Editors, as well as performing final QC checks for the editorial department as a whole.

• Effectively project manage, in collaboration with the Solutions Management team, the progression of assigned projects from the Word copy stage to print stage as necessary, liaising with internal departments/external suppliers when required. • Have a proactive awareness of budgeted and current hours on each project. Deliver assigned projects and tasks in accordance with budgeted hours and agreed deadlines.

• Work collaboratively with the design team to ensure the smooth delivery of materials, ensuring that all copy is marked up, studio trackers are completed correctly, and deadlines are clearly communicated, negotiated when necessary, and ultimately met on time. • Check all proof stages from initial layouts to printers' proofs, liaising with designers at each stage, incorporating internal study team/sponsor corrections as required, and liaising with relevant internal stakeholders to ensure full input and approval of copy.

• Check typeset proofs of translated toolkit items (in PDF format) against source documents and master English layouts to agreed timelines. Identify and electronically mark up any corrections to translated proofs on PDFs as necessary in a timely manner. Manage the proof amends cycle by liaising with external translation service providers, checking that amends have been implemented correctly on revised proofs, and finalising clean files.

• Use appropriate software to upload approved files to print, and check associated printer's proofs (and production job sheets) once received, to agreed timelines.

• Act as a core member of the project team, actively participating in kick-off meetings and project status meetings in order to share project progress and keep the team up to date with project milestones and timelines. Assist and contribute to the development and ongoing negotiation of timelines, where appropriate, between multiple teams.

 • Oversee projects for new and less experienced Editors when necessary, providing advice and guidance as needed.

• Assist with study name research where necessary, involving completion of a name research template document for client review.

  • Work to short notice and to very tight turn arounds when necessary. Effectively manage own time, working with global teams and keeping an awareness of the wider timeline and deadlines.
