Ref: 35668
The agency
A small, independent, integrated communications consultancy working across life sciences, health and technology. Digital and traditional marketing and PR, for a genuinely varied client list – biotech, diagnostics and scientific instrumentation business, CROs, consumer healthcare, and some brilliant not-for-profit work including health charities.
The structure is deliberately flat: a couple of Account Directors with teams beneath them, everyone reporting into the two founders. No layers of politics, no internal empire-building, no 9pm rewrites of a global brand plan.
The role
This is a broad Account Director brief with real ownership. You’ll run a portfolio of your own, and you’ll have carte blanche to grow it. The agency is winning an increasing number of leads directly from pharma companies, so would like someone with Rx experience, ABPI-aware, comfortable with clinical and regulatory nuance.
- Lead and grow a varied portfolio across health, life science and tech
- Act as the senior client counsel, so strategy, not just delivery
- Shape and convert new business, especially pharma-originated opportunities
- Work across integrated campaigns; digital, traditional, PR, marketing
Who this will suit
An Account Director, or even an AM/SAM from a large ethical/Rx healthcare agency who is very good at the work but has had enough of the pace, the hierarchy and the hours. If you want to do high-quality thinking for interesting clients in a kinder environment, this is the job for you.
You’ll need:
- Solid agency experience in Rx/ethical pharma communications
- Confidence as the senior day-to-day client lead
- New business instincts and the appetite to grow something
- Genuine interest in a mixed portfolio, including charity and tech work
