Job Summary:

Real Chemistry is looking for a President, Integrated Communications, EMEA to join our growing team! The President will be a firm-wide leader tasked with driving the agency’s strategy, positioning, and offerings for our clients while supporting a distinctive employee experience for our multi-disciplinary and multi-cultural team.

Our clients are predominantly from the healthcare sector, with aspirations to expand into non-healthcare markets over time while continuing growth in healthcare. Our current scopes are diverse and include multiple disciplines: PR, CTR, digital and social marketing, internal communications, branding, analytics, and tech development. Our clients recognize us as an integrated, solution-oriented consultancy they can trust — regardless of project scope or scale.

Our Presidents need to be agile, responsive, and possess strong lateral and conceptual thinking capabilities. As Real Chemistry has consistently achieved significant growth over the past several years, this person must also be comfortable with ambiguity and the uncertainty that comes with rapid innovation and growth. We are a senior-led team, and our clients expect to not only have access to, but also receive regular counsel from our leadership. However, this person must also be comfortable being tactically involved in the day-to-day workings of client engagements.

  • Enhance the current healthcare PR and Marketing offering by connecting the unique assets of Real Chemistry to establish an operationalized, multi-disciplinary team including analytics, digital, and creative.
  • Expand opportunities with clients into a broader portfolio of offerings including marketing, advertising, digital, and social media.
• Account Support
  • Oversee a large, complex portfolio and growth through the current client base and net new business, managing profitability.
  • Provide senior strategic counsel across existing accounts and lead a multi-disciplinary team to deliver against clients\\\’ KPIs.
  • Serve as the client lead on several accounts, providing senior strategic counsel and building multi-disciplinary teams by collaborating with shared services (analytics and creative) teams, as well as SMEs, to deliver against clients\\\’ KPIs.
• Operations
  • Quickly immerse yourself in Real Chemistry\\\’s offerings and methodologies to take an integrated approach to clients and new business.
  • Partner with the current leadership team to drive and deliver robust strategies for the consultancy.
• Staff Management
  • Facilitate training and coaching of current staff to support business growth.
  • Identify new hires to accelerate business growth through a broader network or new skill sets.
  • Infuse the existing team with continued energy and enthusiasm through internal communications and respected partnership.

This Position is a Perfect Fit for You if:

• Our company values — Best Together, Impact-Obsessed, Excellence Expected, Evolve Always, and Accountability with an “I” — really resonate with you.
• You are adaptable, resilient, and comfortable adjusting your scope, responsibilities, and focus as we grow. When things change, so do we. We’re always evolving.
• You are proactive, driven, and resourceful with strong prioritization skills and a desire to dive into the data.
• You are a highly organized self-starter, able to work independently and under tight deadlines.

What You Should Have:

• Bachelor’s degree or equivalent experience is required.
• Experience in a professional environment within the public relations or communications industry, along with significant leadership experience.
• A successful track record of winning new business and growing current business.
• Superior communication skills and the ability to connect with a variety of audiences.
