Senior Account Director - Health PR in London

As part of one of the largest independent strategic communications agencies in the world — with 22 offices globally and more than 1,100 people — our UK team brings together deep sector expertise, diverse thinking and creative problem-solving to help brands lead through complexity. With roots in technology, innovation and societal change, we’ve spent decades at the intersection of technology and humanity — bridging the gap between what businesses create and how people experience those creations.

We thrive where disciplines intersect — when social impact meets youth engagement, technology meets science, or corporate reputation meets health — and our teams are designed deliberately with this in mind. In the UK, we carry that spirit forward every day — challenging assumptions, applying innovation and helping organisations find clarity, relevance and growth in an ever-evolving world.

You will find compelling work, global partnerships, worthwhile professional development, outstanding benefits and the opportunity to make a difference. In London, we are committed to a hybrid working model, supporting a working arrangement with at least two days in the office per week, one of which must be Thursday.

This role is for a candidate with a passion for navigating the pharmaceutical, medical device industry and health tech to deliver impactful storytelling. Key strengths for this role include content creation, media relations team coordination and project management. Previous agency or healthcare experience is desirable, but you must have prior professional experience in communications, healthcare and/or project management, and be committed to professional development in this area.

This is a great opportunity for an ambitious candidate who is looking to grow and develop both their own professional skillset, and also support the growth and development of the health and health tech business within our agency. You will be reporting into a fantastic Senior Account Manager or Account Director, who will invest time and energy in your personal development and career progression, and joining a talented, collaborative and committed team.
