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

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.
