About the program
Our Medical capability is excited to be launching “Reach”, our new 12-month program for commercially focused scientific graduates ready to build impactful careers in medical communications. Through structured rotations and project-based work, you’ll contribute to real client solutions that help us reach EVERY PATIENT POSSIBLE, with the opportunity to transition into a permanent role on successful completion.

What makes our program different?
Reach is all about extending your impact as far as possible – just like our mission to reach EVERY PATIENT POSSIBLE. This is your chance to accelerate your career in medical communications while being at the intersection of science, strategy, and creativity.

As part of the program, you’ll kickstart your journey within our global medical communications team, rotating every four months across three core areas: Scientific, Project Management/Client Services, and Digital/Creative. Each rotation is designed to expand your skills and broaden your perspective – helping you connect with diverse stakeholders, projects, and industry-leading clients.

You’ll learn firsthand how our teams come together to develop life-changing solutions for patients around the world. Most importantly, you’ll play an active role in making sure those transformative projects truly reach the people who need them most.

Supporting you to build your career
During the program, you’ll be given everything needed to supercharge your career – from hands-on training and expert mentorship to full access to our Learning team’s programs and platforms. You’ll also be able to connect with colleagues through our six Employee Network Groups, and take advantage of our Magnet not Mandate policy – our unique approach to flexible working. Beyond your day-to-day rotations, you’ll dive into project-based work that tackles real client challenges, sparks fresh ideas, and helps shape the future of how we work in Medical. It’s an incredible opportunity to learn, grow, and make a real impact from day one.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in life sciences (e.g., Biomedical Science, Biological Sciences, Biochemistry, Pharmacology, Biotechnology, Physiology).
• Excellent communication skills.
• Strong scientific understanding and writing ability.
• Digital and technological literacy, including familiarity with artificial intelligence tools and applications.
