Account Manager

If you're a highly experienced Senior Account Executive ready to step into an Account Manager role, or an existing Account Manager looking for more ownership, strategic exposure and genuine autonomy - this could be exactly what you're looking for.

We're partnering with a growing independent healthcare communications consultancy that helps pharmaceutical and healthcare brands build stronger relationships with healthcare professionals through strategic communications, digital engagement and compelling content.

This isn't the kind of agency where you'll spend years waiting for opportunities to come your way. You'll work closely with senior leaders, gain exposure to strategic decision-making, and be trusted to take ownership from day one.

If you're ambitious, proactive and keen to move beyond purely delivery-focused account management, this role offers a clear pathway to develop into a senior client lead.

Everything you need to know about the role

This is a varied, client-facing role where you'll work across strategic healthcare communications programmes, partnering with experienced consultants while becoming a trusted day-to-day contact for clients.

You'll:

• Take ownership of project delivery across multiple healthcare communications programmes
• Build strong relationships with pharmaceutical and healthcare clients, becoming a trusted extension of their team
• Coordinate and shape content development alongside strategy, creative and digital specialists
• Keep projects running smoothly by managing timelines, deliverables and stakeholder communications
• Anticipate challenges before they arise and proactively identify solutions
• Support strategic planning discussions and gain exposure to senior client conversations
• Work across a range of digital communications, content and engagement initiatives
• Develop the confidence and capability to become the day-to-day lead on accounts over time
• Contribute ideas, challenge thinking and play an active role in shaping how the agency evolves

Experience and qualities that make you a strong fit

• At least 2 years' experience within a healthcare communications, medical communications, healthcare advertising or pharmaceutical agency environment
• Existing Account Manager experience or a highly experienced Senior Account Executive ready for progression
• Strong client management and project coordination skills
• Experience working with healthcare or pharmaceutical brands
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills with strong attention to detail
• Comfortable managing multiple projects and priorities simultaneously
• A proactive mindset with the confidence to take ownership and drive projects forward
• Someone who enjoys understanding the bigger picture, not just delivering individual tasks
• Commercial awareness and an interest in developing strategic consultancy skills
• A collaborative approach and genuine curiosity about healthcare communications and digital engagement

What's on offer?

• Competitive salary and benefits package
• Flexible hybrid working model with just one company day per month in London
• Direct access to experienced healthcare communications leaders and mentors
• Exposure to strategic client consultancy from an early stage
• The opportunity to work on impactful healthcare and digital engagement projects
• A supportive, collaborative and values-driven culture
• Clear progression opportunities within a growing independent consultancy
• Regular team meet-ups, socials and company events
• Autonomy, trust and the chance to make a visible contribution to the agency's success

Could this be the role for you?

If you're looking for a role that offers more than traditional account management where you'll be trusted with responsibility, encouraged to think strategically and given the opportunity to accelerate your career within healthcare communications - I'd love to hear from you.
