Description:

I am a practicing nephrologist seeking a skilled social media manager and medical content writer to help build a credible, high-quality professional presence across LinkedIn, X (Twitter), Substack, and a professional blog. The focus is thought leadership in kidney disease, dialysis, glomerular disorders, and renal innovation. This is a long-term opportunity for someone who understands medical nuance and can translate complex clinical topics into clear, engaging content for physicians, healthcare professionals, and informed patients.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and manage a content calendar aligned with clinical, academic, and industry goals

• Write 2–4 short-form posts weekly for LinkedIn and X (threads, short insights, and commentary)

• Draft 1–2 longer-form articles per month for Substack and blog platforms

• Translate clinical cases (de-identified), new trials, and guidelines into high-impact educational content

• Assist with conference summaries, medical commentary, and emerging renal therapies

• Maintain a professional, evidence-based tone that balances academic rigor with accessibility

• Optimize content for engagement, growth, and thought leadership while preserving credibility

• Ensure compliance with HIPAA, patient privacy, and professional standards

• Repurpose long-form content into short-form posts and threads

Ideal Candidate:

• Experience writing healthcare, medical, or scientific content

• Strong understanding of medical terminology; nephrology knowledge preferred

• Background in medicine, life sciences, medical writing, or healthcare marketing

• Ability to simplify complex clinical concepts while preserving accuracy

• Familiarity with clinical trials, guidelines, and evidence-based medicine

• Experience with newsletter or blog writing (Substack or similar platforms)

• Comfortable adapting to a physician’s voice and evolving professional brand

• Organized, responsive, and able to meet deadlines

Preferred but Not Required:

• Experience working with specialists, academic physicians, or industry

• Familiarity with KDIGO guidelines, dialysis, CKD, or glomerular disease

• Experience with visual content, infographics, or medical storytelling

• SEO and newsletter growth strategy

• Analytics and audience development

Workflow:

Each week, I will provide topics, clinical insights, or voice notes. You will draft content for review and revision. Long-form articles will be developed collaboratively. This role is expected to be ongoing with potential for expansion.

Please Include in Your Application:

• Portfolio or examples of healthcare or medical writing (including long-form work if available)

• One sample short thread (4–6 posts) on a medical topic

• One sample long-form article outline

• Your experience working with clinicians or healthcare organizations

• Estimated monthly rate and availability

This role prioritizes accuracy, credibility, and long-term professional growth over volume. I am looking for a collaborative partner interested in building a respected voice in nephrology and renal innovation.

Budget: Open based on experience.
