Ref: 35471
We’re working with a well-established, mid-sized healthcare advertising agency that’s in a great place – ahead of their financial targets, and proud to be working with an impressive mix of pharma clients in ethical medicines.
They’ve built a reputation for being collaborative, grounded and relationship-led. They’re not a flashy network; they win work through referrals, recommendations and trust.
The culture is genuinely supportive and down-to-earth. Everyone is encouraged to speak up (no such thing as a stupid idea), and the team values a healthy work-life balance.
The Account Director’s role:
They’re now looking for an Account Director to join their friendly, tight-knit client services team. You’ll work closely with the CSD and GAD, managing Account Managers and Account Executives across a range of UK and global clients.
You’ll be responsible for:
- Leading accounts
- Growing client relationships
- Mentoring your team, and driving new business
- Staying hands-on and happy to roll up your sleeves when needed.
This is a great opportunity for someone who enjoys the variety of a mid-sized agency and wants to make a tangible impact, rather than being a small cog in a big machine.
You will need:
- You’ll have proven experience in a healthcare / pharmaceutical advertising agency
- Comfortable leading pitches, guiding projects, and nurturing your team
- Enjoy working collaboratively with different disciplines – account handling, creative and strategy
- Approachable, hands-on and happy to get involved at all levels
Why Join?
- Strong, people-first culture with genuine respect for work-life balance
- Supportive environment with personalised training and development (£1,000 annual training budget)
- Fantastic client mix – including major global pharma brands
- Long-serving team and excellent retention
- Hybrid working – 2 days in the office (Tuesday + another midweek day)
If you’re an experienced Account Director looking for a role where you can lead, mentor and make a real difference within a supportive and successful agency, we’d love to hear from you.
