Not two, but three (career ladders)
In medical communications agencies we mainly see two main career paths: client services and medical writing. Other roles like creatives and designers, digital specialism and operations are also present – every company is structured a little differently – but the majority of the team are usually within client services or medical writing. Wave is different because we have an important third career path: editorial.
