Medical Writer CV template for pharma, biotech and CRO jobs
A sample Medical Writer CV, built on the layout I use for my own CV and for clients. The person, the employers and every number in it are invented, so treat each line as a prompt and replace it with your own evidence. You get it in English and in German, as Word and PDF.
Made by Andreas Schulz, MoreThanCareer.de: 17 years in recruitment, 14 of them in pharma and CRO environments at Bayer, ICON and Syneos Health. Free for your own CV. If you share the template, please keep the credit line in the footer. Checked every quarter, next review planned for February 2027.
What a Hiring Manager checks in a Medical Writer CV
- Regulatory or publication writing, said clearly. They are different jobs.
- Document types and counts.
- The guidelines and standards you write to.
- Your scientific background, which explains your therapy area fit.
- A link to a writing sample, if you can share one.
Keywords that belong in it
Use the ones that are true for you, in the words the job ad uses: regulatory writing, clinical study report, protocol, investigator's brochure, CTD, Module 2, ICH E3, EMWA, publications, plain language summary.
How the template is built
Target role above the name, a short profile, career highlights with numbers before the experience, role title and dates on one line, employer and location on the next, and competencies as a keyword line at the end. The reasoning behind each part is on the pharma CV template page. If your target is a German employer, read how your Arbeitszeugnis will be compared with your CV in the Arbeitszeugnis decoder.
Frequently asked questions
