Account Director (Mat leave cover)

We currently work on a range of clients in the UK and internationally. It would be an advantage if the potential candidates have experience of working with or for leading companies in the health and wellbeing sector. Given the nature of the work it will also be a bonus for candidates to have experience of international projects, language skills, paid media, and social media projects. The role will involve working with trade bodies including EFPIA, IFPMA and ABPI so experience of working on policy issues and industry reputation would also be an advantage. 

But more importantly you must be passionate about using communications to help make a difference to the health and well-being of people, from reducing childhood obesity to telling the story of the science behind the world’s most innovative medicines. 

To succeed, you should have:   

• Experience working within a creative agency at an Account Director or Senior Account Manager level 

• Contributed to a portfolio of distinctive work, as well as shown some creative thinking 

• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to articulate the ‘why’ behind ideas 

• Relentless attention to detail 

• Confidence in managing all commercial aspects of client relationships 

• A problem-solving personality, with the desire to help your colleagues.
