Freelance Rx Social Media Strategist

Elevate Healthcare Marketing is looking for a freelance Social Media Strategist with direct, hands-on experience on regulated prescription pharmaceutical brands. You'll work alongside our strategy, analytics, account, and creative teams to build and evolve social programs for Rx brands across patient and HCP audiences — from channel strategy through MLR-ready execution.

What You'll Do

• Develop social strategies for patient and HCP audiences that align to brand, business, and engagement KPIs
• Assess a brand's competitive social landscape and turn it into channel strategy, content pillars, and measurement recommendations
• Advise on page setup, verification, and launch sequencing for Rx brands, and help us navigate unclear or inconsistent platform policies for pharma use cases
• Build MLR-ready content workflows: templates, review checkpoints, fair-balance and ISI conventions, AE/product-quality-complaint escalation, and comment moderation
• Define a measurement framework that connects native social analytics with GA4 — UTM governance, taxonomy, dashboards, KPI reporting
• Support an org-level social playbook covering governance, workflows, escalation, and archiving
• Recommend practical AI-assisted workflows for social listening, content tagging, and reporting — within regulatory, privacy, and confidentiality constraints

• 5+ years in social media strategy, including 2-3+ years on prescription pharmaceutical, biologic, or regulated healthcare brands (agency or in-house)
• Hands-on experience launching or managing Rx brand social properties on Meta, Linked In, Instagram, You Tube, or similar
• Working fluency in FDA/OPDP promotional rules, fair balance, MLR review, AE/PQC escalation, and patient/HCP audience separation — you're doing this already, not learning it on the job
• Comfort working across account, strategy, creative, media, analytics, regulatory, legal, medical, and client stakeholders
• Strong writing, documentation, and client-facing presentation skills

• Existing support or escalation relationships with Meta, Linked In, or other platform teams
• Built social playbooks, launch checklists, or MLR-ready content systems before
• Supported both patient and HCP communities with platform-specific nuance
• Used AI tools for social listening, tagging, analytics summaries, or workflow automation
