Senior Account Director

Senior Account Director – Medical Communications

In the Langland Medical Strategy & Education (MSE) team, we love reality, it’s where we live. It’s where professionals, protocols and p-values come face to face with the imperfect and unpredictable. We think further, exploring how insight can give data meaning in the real world, stimulating open discourse that people value, to advance human health.

We partner with our clients across the whole product lifecycle.

• We look beyond the complex scientific data to understand what it means in the context of different perspectives, beliefs and behaviours.
• We uncover new ways to differentiate brands that aren’t just about the lines on the graph but encompass both rational and emotional factors that are built into the strategic plan.
• We engage with not only traditional thought leaders, but also those who influence digitally and patient advocates, building mutually valuable relationships.
• We craft compelling scientific stories with visual, credible, impactful content that resonate with the target audience, meet a need and influence behaviour.
• We understand end-users’ reality and create tailored communication programmes to help move HCPs across a knowledge and belief continuum and stimulate open discourse.

The main therapy areas we are working across currently are oncology, dermatology, HIV, rare diseases, respiratory medicine and CNS disorders, but regular new business wins will almost certainly provide an opportunity to work in other areas.

The role will have significant experience across a broad range of therapy areas, meeting a range of client needs and the role holder will be comfortable they have the tools, skills, and experience to handle most conversations with client, without needing more senior support. The role holder will have experience in managing teams and be able to make their own recommendations about how best to staff the business. Whilst the role holder will be responsible for their own specific accounts, the role will give greater consideration to the agency as a whole and building business acumen.
