As an AM, you'll be at the heart of client interactions, serving as their primary point of contact. You'll collaborate closely with senior colleagues to steer healthcare communications programs that perfectly align with client goals. In this role, you'll lead junior team members with confidence, showcasing your exceptional consultancy skills while managing financial responsibilities seamlessly. Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to contribute creatively to internal initiatives that drive our success forward. If you're passionate about making a difference and eager to grow within a supportive and innovative environment, we want you on our team!

Responsibilities

At AXON, we actively encourage the team to be involved in activities outside of their day-to-day work.

We have a keen focus on training and development and, as a rough guide, suggest employees aim to complete 37.5 hours of learning a year through online learning, classroom training, or attending external events; that’s 1 week a year dedicated to your development.
