Director – Pharma PR/Comms
đź“Ť London | Hybrid
We’re looking for a Director to join a leading healthcare PR and medical communications agency, to work strategically on an interesting pharma portfolio spanning global markets. If you’re currently an Associate Director ready to step up – or an experienced Director looking for a new challenge – this role offers the chance to become a trusted partner shaping client strategy at the highest level.
Why this role?
At this level, it’s not just about delivering projects. It’s about being the person clients turn to when the stakes are high, whether navigating complex policy environments, translating data into compelling narratives, or engaging patients, payers, and policymakers. You’ll sit alongside clients as a true strategic partner – advising, challenging, and helping them see around corners.
What you’ll do:
* Be the client’s strategic sounding board – trusted to give insight-driven, commercially smart advice that shapes programs across policy, media, data, patient advocacy, and internal comms.
* Own and grow relationships – acting as a senior counsellor who builds long-term partnerships, drives account growth, and ensures clients see you as an extension of their leadership team.
* Lead with vision – set the strategic direction for your portfolio, mentoring and inspiring teams to deliver high standards and innovative thinking.
* Drive business growth – identify opportunities, lead pitches and proposals, and bring thought leadership to market that sets the agency apart.
* Ensure excellence in delivery – oversee budgets, timelines, and resourcing while maintaining the strategic integrity of every piece of work.
What you’ll bring:
* Deep experience working with pharmaceutical clients and healthcare communications, ideally across global accounts, in an agency setting.
* A proven ability to shape client strategy, not just deliver tactics.
* Strong background in policy, data, and patient engagement, alongside traditional comms (media relations, unbranded, congresses).
* A track record in business development and organic growth, securing trust and confidence at the highest levels.
* Inspirational leadership skills, with a passion for mentoring and developing teams.
What’s in it for you?
* A high-profile leadership role with significant visibility across the agency and sector.
* The chance to shape client strategy on critical issues in global healthcare.
* A collaborative environment where your counsel is valued and your ideas carry weight.
* Competitive salary and benefits, flexible working, and a culture built on support, trust, and growth.
If you’re ready to be more than a consultant – to act as a strategic partner who shapes the future of healthcare, we’d love to hear from you. Apply with your CV today.
