Company Description

Who we are

Langland, a Publicis Health company, is the only health communications agency that thinks further across Clinical Trial Experience, Medical Strategy & Education, Public Relations & Policy, and Advertising, to create unique value with visionary clients.

What we believe

Health brings us together. In the diseases we suffer, the medicines we create, and the causes we champion, health shows us our collective humanity. When we break the barriers that divide us, when we think further, we can create healthier futures, together.

A passion for craft

Having expert thinking is only part of our story. To ensure excellence in everything we make, we have centred our disciplines around three essential crafts: science, strategy and creativity.

Job Description

In the Langland Public Relations & Policy (PRP) team, we thrive on plot twists, surprising points of view, and unconventional approaches. In an era of echo chambers, dumbing down and polarisation, we think further, to bring thought-provoking health stories to the world and to make evidence useful to everyone.

As a Senior Account Executive, you’ll work alongside the wider team on some of the biggest names in healthcare. You’ll be involved in managing projects, analysing new industry trends, providing financial updates and helping to grow the account. If you’re excited by advances in medicine, passionate about the work you do and never stop pushing for the best – you’ll fit right in.

On a day-to-day basis, you’ll take charge of the logistics, administration and daily running of your account (including budget updates, invoices and status reports) as well as starting to manage some smaller projects autonomously – so there won’t be a dull moment. We need a great communicator (both written and verbal) who’s professional, friendly and keen to learn everything you can from the rest of our highly qualified team. It’s an exciting, hands-on role within a department who put collaboration at the heart of everything we do.

We have three focus areas:

• Developing a compelling corporate story to build and protect reputation, and stand out from competitors
• Driving brand awareness by contextualising data and delivering the right messages to the right audiences at the right time
• Fostering trusted relationships with advocacy stakeholders to inform insight-led awareness activities to support patients

The Senior Account Executive role will be similar to the Account Executive role but will take on more responsibilities associated with the Account Manager role:

Account management: Demonstrates curiosity in the creative process and is aware of the client’s marketing strategy.

Project management: Understands the importance of tracking time, scope and budget, while taking ownership of timeline management where assigned.  

Finance management: Develops a good understanding of the overall financial processes within the agency.  

Relationship management: Builds relationships with client point of contact and all stakeholders, internal and external.

Process management: Acts as the gatekeeper to agency processes, ensuring appropriate signatories and approvals are in place.  Helps foster an environment of continuous improvement and supports in identifying efficiencies.

Communication planning: Understands the holistic direction of the account and the subsequent tactical deliverables within.  

Qualifications

• Must have healthcare/pharma experience
• You will be able to build relationships quickly, confident and personable in your approach
• You will have the ability to adapt and flex your working style dependent on the audience
• You’ll be a strong communicator with great standard of written, spoken and presentation English
• You’ll be a problem solver, demonstrating proactivity and initiative
• You can identify continuous improvement opportunities
• You’ll have a strong sense of drive and commitment to getting the task done
• You will possess a can-do attitude and enthusiasm for their contribution
• You’ll demonstrate high learning agility and a hunger for knowledge
