Senior Health and Science Writer

About Atria:

Atria is a membership-based preventive health care practice delivering cutting-edge primary and specialty care in New York, South Florida, Los Angeles (2026), and through 24/7 telemedicine globally.

Our multi-specialty team of 60+ top in-house physicians provides proactive, preventive, and precision-based care for Atria members and their families. We aim to optimize lifespan and healthspan through meticulous screening, leading-edge therapeutics, and tailored interventions designed to prevent disease and detect it at the earliest possible stages.

Each member's care is led by a dedicated Chief Medical Officer who collaborates with specialists in cardiology, neurology, pediatrics, women's health, endocrinology, integrative health, performance and movement, nutrition, and more.

Through our nonprofit Atria Research Institute and Public Health Institute, we also work to accelerate the translation of medical breakthroughs and expand access to preventive care for as many people as possible.

Atria is looking for an exceptional Senior Health and Science Writer to create flagship content focused on preventive medicine and up-to-the-minute science. We are looking for someone who loves translating cutting-edge medical research into compelling, accessible work that can serve both physicians and the public. This role requires someone who can thrive in our startup environment, where we move quickly to find creative solutions and turn them into reality.

This function requires the combination of journalistic rigor and deep expertise in health and science, including emerging discoveries and consumer trends. You will work closely with our physicians to ensure our content maintains the highest standards of scientific accuracy while being engaging and actionable for diverse audiences. This position is ideally suited to someone who enjoys turning complex science into content that can change how people think about their health.

This is an original content role, not a marketing position.

Specifically, you will:

• Create authoritative content that provides Atria's evidence-informed, risk-adjusted perspective on emerging and established health protocols, products, and emerging technologies.
• Contribute to content needs across the department as they arise. We're a collaborative team where everyone pitches in—you might be drafting internal communications one day and refining public health materials the next.
• Support broader content initiatives by contributing to newsletters, public health content, and educational materials.
• You will help ensure consistency in our scientific voice while adapting your writing style for different audiences and formats.
• Stay current with developments in preventive medicine, longevity research, and health care technology, identifying opportunities for Atria to provide valuable commentary and education on emerging trends.
• Craft clear, compelling pieces that help physicians and patients navigate an increasingly complex landscape.
• You will write in-depth but approachable pieces that expand on medical topics, making cutting-edge science understandable and actionable for both medical professionals and the general public.
• You will interview leading researchers and doctors, review scientific literature, and synthesize complex information into clear, engaging prose.
• Work with Atria’s physicians to co-author or clinically review new articles.

Who we're looking for:

• You are an experienced health and science writer who can translate complex scientific concepts into compelling, accessible content.
• You appreciate the responsibility that comes with health care content and prioritize accuracy and ethics.
• You can produce high-quality work consistently while juggling multiple projects at once.
• You bring the kind of editorial judgment that comes from experience covering complex topics and understanding how to make them relevant and actionable for readers.
• You bring deep curiosity about medicine, science, and emerging health technologies, with the ability to quickly understand new scientific developments and identify what matters most for our audiences.
• You can write authoritatively about medical topics while exercising caution about claims and recommendations.
• You are comfortable working closely with physicians and experts, asking the right questions to ensure your content is both scientifically sound and practically useful.
• You can adapt your writing style for different audiences, from technical medical content to accessible public health communication.

Compensation:

$175,000 - $200,000, depending on years of experience

Requirements

• Minimum of 10+ years of experience writing about health, medicine, or science topics for professional or consumer audiences. Demonstrated expertise covering medical research, health care policy, or health technology preferred.
• Strong portfolio of published work showing ability to translate complex medical and scientific concepts for diverse audiences. Experience writing both shorter commentary pieces and longer-form educational content.
• Experience working with medical professionals and scientific sources. Comfort reading and interpreting scientific studies.
• Excellent writing and storytelling abilities with strong attention to scientific accuracy and ethical considerations.
