We\โ€™re not just another health communications agency. We\โ€™re a multi-expertise collective of strategists, creatives, and problem-solvers โ€“ built for clients that refuse to settle.

For clients ready to break through today\โ€™s complex health challenges, we\โ€™re the ones who make it happen. Fast, frictionless, and future-ready, we break down traditional communications siloes, and craft solutions that are always audience and creative-first.

With the unprecedented disruption taking place in our industry today, we don\โ€™t believe in formulas: No communications stone left unturned, no opportunity wasted, just smart, integrated communications built for the modern world.

Summary of Our Role

As our Head of Patient Engagement, you\โ€™ll lead our global strategy, working with clients, internal teams, and patient communities to design and deliver impactful engagement programmes. You\โ€™ll champion patient-first thinking, drive meaningful change, and position our agency as a thought leader in this space.

This is a full-time role and our current hybrid working arrangement is two days from home. Our office is located in Kings Cross.

What You Can Expect to Be Doing:

  • Defining and leading our integrated patient engagement offering, aligning with client needs and regulatory requirements.
  • Advising clients on how, where, and when to work with patient representatives across the treatment lifecycle.
  • Designing and overseeing patient engagement activities, including advisory boards, advocacy partnerships, and co-created solutions.
  • Building and sustaining strong relationships with patient groups, advocates, and influencers.
  • Ensuring compliance with global and local regulations (e.g., ABPI, EFPIA, GDPR).
  • Leading, mentoring, and growing a multi-disciplinary team.
  • Driving new business efforts, from thought leadership to proposals and pitches.
  • Measuring and reporting on the impact of patient engagement programmes.

This Role Could Be a Great Fit for You If:

  • You have 10+ years\โ€™ experience in healthcare communications or patient advocacy (agency or in-house).
  • You\โ€™re passionate about making a difference for patient communities and expanding access to therapies.
  • You have a deep understanding of pharmaceutical regulations, patient privacy, and industry codes of practice.
  • You\โ€™re a strategic thinker with a proven track record in patient engagement and stakeholder management.
  • You thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced environment and enjoy mentoring others.
  • You\โ€™re confident advising senior clients and translating complex developments into actionable recommendations.
  • You\โ€™re motivated by curiosity, creativity, and a desire to challenge the status quo.
