A great opportunity has arisen for an experienced Account Manager / Senior Account Manager to join a highly successful and market driven healthcare communications agency, based in Beaconsfield.

The agency has doubled in size in the last 2-years and in 2021also doubled its income.

They pride themselves on the quality of the work that they produce based on developing a real understanding of a brand's priorities and how it translates into the medical education industry.

The agency's core offerings are based inmedical communications disciplines such as KOL development, advisory boards, symposia and satellite symposia planning and management, healthcare media relations, stand alone publications and a variety of bespoke, print and production projects.

As a Senior Account Manager you will work in a team dedicated to all aspects of defined clients' programmes and projects; deliver projects as agreed with clients' financial, timelines, and quality targets; take on an account team role for allocated projectswhere appropriate; liaise with key client / opinion leaders on a daily basis.

You'll also be responsible for identifying and developing new business development opportunities and managing and maintaining all projects from initial proposal through brief, pitchand to completion.

You'll already be an Account Manager at another agency, preferably MedComms or a similar role within the sector, and potentially ready to step into an Account Director role in a year or so.

This is very much the engine room of their operation and they wouldneed a minimum of 3 yrs for a AM and a bit more for the SAM.

Their AM role differs from the traditional AM role in that it requires, and therefore teaches, much more about how they develop content for meetings.

They are developing a writing team also, so theirPMs don't really do much writing, but they do like them to have perhaps a better understanding of content than AMs might.

As such this role may suit an AM, who wants to become more involved in the overall delivery of programmes.

We are particularly keen tosee Senior Account Managers who are at a stage in their career where they can work pretty independently of their Account Director, and may also be ready to take a programme executive under their wing in a mentoring type role.
