Ready to lead transformative health communications at a senior level?
This is a rare opportunity to join a mission-driven consultancy as a Director in Healthcare PR. You’ll play a pivotal role in shaping multi-market strategy, leading standout campaigns, and driving both organic and new business growth. If you’re commercially savvy, passionate about impactful healthcare comms, and thrive in a high-performance environment – this could be the perfect next step.

Everything you need to know about the role

As Director, you’ll join the Senior Management Team and take the lead on major UK and global pharma accounts. You’ll be accountable for best-in-class delivery, measurable impact, and meaningful revenue growth across multiple markets. Alongside senior client leadership, you’ll play a key role in business development – from generating high-quality leads to building Anthem’s pipeline for long-term growth.

This role is suited to someone who can think creatively and commercially to navigate market challenges – such as procurement hurdles and limited international footprint – while developing a compelling multi-market offering.

Experience and qualities that make you a strong fit

  • You’re currently operating at Director level in a healthcare PR/communications agency.

  • You bring deep experience delivering multi-market programmes for pharma and biotech clients.

  • You’re both a hunter and a farmer – adept at bringing in new business and growing existing relationships.

  • You have an excellent network of client contacts and a track record of expanding agency portfolios.

  • You’re skilled at leading integrated campaigns, from media relations and corporate comms to digital, advocacy, and social.

  • You’re confident navigating global strategy, with the agility to roll up your sleeves when needed.

  • You’ve worked with both big pharma and mid-size clients and understand their evolving needs.

  • You lead with insight, drive, and creativity – always pushing for work that exceeds expectations.

  • You’re passionate about nurturing teams and enabling them to do their best work.

What’s on offer?

  • A senior role in a freethinking, high-energy consultancy that’s not afraid to break the mould.

  • The opportunity to shape multi-market growth strategy and lead transformative campaigns.

  • A values-led culture where employees are supported, appreciated, and empowered to thrive.

  • A collaborative team environment that prizes original thinking, impact, and growth.

  • Genuine influence as part of the Senior Management Team, with direct accountability and visibility.

  • Hybrid working (UK-based), with flexibility to support work-life balance and autonomy.
