Who we are looking for

We are looking for a highly motivated, technically proficient, and empathetic medical doctor – preferably with clinical experience – to strengthen our team as a Medical Writer.

In this role, you are responsible for creating high-quality medical content, including patient-oriented articles, stories, and videos, as well as structured questionnaires. You will also editorially manage existing content, support the expert supervision of our communities, and communicate with clients from the pharmaceutical industry. You will not work alone but will be supported by a dedicated and experienced team that provides expertise, experience, and proven processes. We place great importance on collaboration and mutual exchange – for strong content and sustainable impact.

You bring a deep understanding of medical contexts and can convey them clearly and creatively to the target audience. Your clinical experience helps you identify relevant content, prepare it practically, and design it application-oriented. You share our enthusiasm for digital innovations and recognize the added value the brite platform creates for patients and the healthcare industry. Our goal is to establish digital patient support as a new standard in healthcare – and you can be a central part of this.

We are looking for you on a part-time basis (at least 20 hours/week) – fully remote. If you work in a structured and goal-oriented way, can convey medical knowledge empathetically and understandably, and remain solution-oriented and motivated even in difficult situations, we look forward to receiving your application.

Your tasks

As a Medical Writer at XO Life, you will take on various tasks at the interface between medicine, communication, and digital innovation:

  • Writing new patient-friendly content: You create understandable, empathetic, and medically sound articles, stories, and videos that support and accompany patients in everyday life. You bring creative ideas and are willing to learn or further develop the use of design and content tools (e.g., Canva).

  • Supporting our brite communities: You contribute your medical expertise to the support and development of our digital patient communities. You ensure content quality and professional correctness and actively supervise the exchange within the communities to provide a safe and helpful space for patients.

  • Developing medical questionnaires: You design scientifically sound yet user-friendly questionnaires to collect patient-relevant data and therapy experiences.

  • Communication with pharmaceutical companies: You are a professional contact for our partners from the pharmaceutical industry and assist in the content preparation of digital therapy support on the brite platform.

  • Continuous personal and professional development: You stay up to date medically and communicatively, and we actively support you through training opportunities and collegial exchange in the team.

Your profile

  • Experience: You have a medical license recognized in Germany (or equivalent qualification) – ideally supplemented by clinical experience in direct patient care. This practical perspective helps you design patient-centered content with medical depth and relevance.

  • Communication skills: You convince with strong communication skills – written and spoken, in German and also in English. You can convey complex medical content clearly, empathetically, and appropriately for the target group.

  • Can-do mentality & structure: You work in a structured, goal-oriented way and with high responsibility. You face challenges with perseverance, solution-oriented thinking, and the claim to successfully implement both your goals and the mission of our brite platform.

  • Team player: You appreciate open exchange, enjoy working in an interdisciplinary environment, and actively contribute to the further development of our content and processes – always with the strong brite team by your side.

Why us?

  • Top tech company in Digital Health: A dynamic, rapidly growing environment where every team member relies on the performance of others. You can see your own impact directly. We learn and develop quickly.

  • Real impact on healthcare: What we are building with our brite platform is unique worldwide, ambitious, and could have a huge impact on billions of people who are sick or interested in health.

  • International team: We are 14 nationalities working together across Europe. We bring different mentalities and cultures but are all focused on our great vision.

  • 100% remote with the best IT equipment: We work fully remote but regularly meet for special team events and offsites, for example in Tuscany, the Alps, or Mallorca. You will receive a Mac computer to be technically ready to start immediately.
If you are passionate about healthcare digitization, love ambitious goals, and want to use your medical experience and expertise to make an immediate impact – we look forward to your application.

About us

Would you like to work at one of the leading Digital Health scale-ups in Germany and Europe?

XO Life develops the brite meta-platform for patients, healthcare professionals, and pharmaceutical companies to enable exchange around everyday care. So far, patients primarily use platforms like Google, Facebook, and Instagram for information search and social exchange because a dedicated and suitable health platform is missing.

Our brite platform enables all pharmaceutical companies and healthcare institutions to offer their patients a modern, digital product or therapy companion. This all-in-one platform makes it unnecessary to download a separate app for each new medication or therapy – instead, there is a comprehensive health app for self-management.

XO Life is considered a leading Digital Health scale-up in Germany and Europe and was recognized as a Top Tech Newcomer by the Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Technology. We work with over 30 pharmaceutical manufacturers – from market leaders to medium-sized companies to RX, OTC, and medical device manufacturers in more than 30 indications. Building on this success, we are now expanding our platform internationally.
