[Hiring] Scientific Narrative Lead @Praxis Precision Medicines, Inc.

Role Description

This position may be performed remotely, but requires the flexibility and willingness to travel as needed.

The Scientific Narrative Lead will own the strategic scientific story for one of Praxis’s lead development programs, ensuring that its science, data, differentiation, and potential value to patients are understood clearly and consistently from clinical development through regulatory submission, launch, and lifecycle management.

This is a program leadership role, not simply a writing role. You will:

• Become deeply fluent in the program—its mechanism, evidence, development strategy, competitive landscape, and evolving data.
• Define how its scientific story should develop over time.
• Connect ideas and evidence across functions to ensure regulatory submissions, clinical publications, and Medical Affairs and Commercial communications reinforce one scientifically rigorous and differentiated story.
• Work closely with various teams, challenging assumptions and creating clarity when the data or path forward is complex.

Primary Responsibilities

• Own the strategic scientific narrative for a lead Praxis program.
• Build and maintain a forward-looking narrative and communications roadmap.
• Shape the scientific positioning and key messages within critical clinical and regulatory documents.
• Set narrative direction for US and global regulatory submissions.
• Anticipate how new data, regulatory feedback, competitive developments, and program decisions should change the scientific story.
• Serve as a connective thread across various departments, identifying inconsistencies early and driving alignment.
• Carry the scientific narrative forward as the program matures.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in a scientific discipline required; an advanced scientific or clinical degree is preferred.
• 6+ years of experience in a biopharmaceutical sponsor, CRO, or consulting environment.
• Demonstrated ability to synthesize complex scientific and clinical data into a clear, compelling story.
• Track record of shaping scientific positioning or messaging strategy for a drug development program.
• Strong understanding of drug development and relevant regulatory expectations.
• Strong scientific writing capability, including experience with high-impact clinical and regulatory documents.
• The physical and mental requirements of our roles include regular use of a computer, clear communication, and occasional movement.

Requirements

• Comfort with screen work, basic hand coordination, and focus.
• Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform these functions.

Benefits

• 99% of the premium paid for medical, dental, and vision plans.
• Company-paid life insurance, AD&D, disability benefits, and voluntary plans.
• Dollar-for-dollar match up to 6% on eligible 401(k) contributions.
• Long-term stock incentives and ESPP.
• Discretionary quarterly bonus.
• Flexible wellness benefit.
• Generous PTO, paid holidays, and company-wide shutdowns.
• Collaborative and inspiring work environment.
