As a fully integrated team member, you will help deliver contemporary, multichannel medical communication solutions across a range of therapy areas. After 12 months, if you successfully complete the program, you will graduate allegro.WRITE and join one of our esteemed teams as a Medical Writer.
We have capacity in our Chicago, Connecticut and New York offices and prefer team members to be in person if they are located near an office. However, recruiting the best candidates is our priority and if you are not located within commuting distance of one of our offices, working remotely is an option. Currently, the first 8 weeks of the core-skills training will be run primarily virtually. Please note that the program will operate on eastern time.

As one of our writers, you will benefit from a clear path for advancement, diverse project work, competitive salary and benefits, and opportunities to travel.
What is the recruitment process?
Due to COVID-19, our recruitment has been adapted to an online process. Apply by submitting a CV and cover letter; your cover letter should be less than 500 words and highlight your skills, passions, and relevant experience.
