Are you an organised and ambitious life sciences graduate or existing Account Executive looking to build or progress your career in medical communications?

This is your opportunity to join a specialist medical communications agency delivering high-quality virtual and face-to-face events, promotional materials and digital engagement for pharmaceutical clients.

You’ll work at the heart of the client services team, supporting the delivery of compliant, impactful projects across a range of therapy areas. With structured support from experienced Account Managers and Directors, you’ll gain hands-on exposure to client management, event delivery and digital project coordination - developing your confidence and expertise in a fast-paced, highly regulated environment.

Everything you need to know about the role

As an Account Executive / Senior Account Executive, you’ll play a crucial role in ensuring projects run smoothly from planning through to delivery and post-event follow-up.

You’ll collaborate with internal teams including design, digital, media and production, while supporting client communications and managing the operational detail that keeps projects on track.

Key responsibilities include:

• Supporting Account Managers and Directors with day-to-day client communication and project coordination
• Developing and updating timelines, trackers and status reports
• Assisting in the development and delivery of promotional materials for virtual and face-to-face events
• Managing event delegate communications, bookings and tracking
• Uploading and tracking materials via approval systems such as Veeva
• Assisting with budget tracking, supplier quotes and invoice checks
• Ensuring all materials meet internal processes and relevant compliance standards, including ABPI guidelines

*This role offers increasing responsibility and client exposure as your experience grows.

• Excellent organisational skills with strong attention to detail
• Confident written and verbal communication skills
• The ability to manage multiple deadlines and prioritise effectively
• A proactive, positive and team-focused approach
• An interest in learning about compliance frameworks such as the ABPI Code

You’ll be calm under pressure, adaptable to changing priorities and willing to take ownership of tasks - even the detail-heavy ones that ensure quality and compliance are maintained.

What’s on offer?

• Salary: Up to £34,000 (depending on experience) plus annual company bonus
• Central London Hybrid working: 3 days a week in London offices
• Exposure to a wide range of pharmaceutical and healthcare clients and projects
