* Business Development: Lead new business efforts, including proactive prospecting, responding to RFPs, and pitching for new accounts. Drive growth within the existing client portfolio.
* Team Leadership: Manage and mentor teams to deliver best-in-class campaigns. Oversee operational delivery, including capacity planning, profitability, forecasting, and billing.
* Campaign Excellence: Develop and implement creative, omnichannel campaigns, leveraging earned, paid, and digital media to achieve measurable outcomes.
Key Requirements:
* A minimum of 8 years’ experience in healthcare communications with media relations or health journalist expertise.
* Proven expertise in pharmaceutical communications, including a strong understanding of commercial priorities, regulatory landscapes, and the health ecosystem.
* A track record of delivering complex, multi-market campaigns with demonstrable outcomes.
* Exceptional leadership and mentoring skills, with the ability to inspire and guide teams to success.
* A proactive, growth-oriented mindset with a commitment to excellence.
* Strong financial acumen and experience managing budgets.
What’s on Offer:
* Competitive salary with annual reviews.
* Hybrid working model (up to 3 days remote per week) and one week per year to work from anywhere.
* Private medical insurance, life assurance, and Employee Assistance Programme.
* Access to a Learning Academy for career development.
* Additional benefits, including 25 days annual leave, season ticket loans, cycle-to-work scheme, and gym discounts.
About You:
You are an accomplished healthcare communications professional with a strong network of industry contacts.
