About this role

You run the business. You keep clients close, teams aligned, and the work moving. You know pharma isn’t just marketing—it’s science, nuance, and regulation—and you know how to navigate all three without slowing things down. You bring clarity where things get complex and keep the bar high across everything we put into the world.

Responsibilities

  • Own senior-level client relationships—trusted, proactive, no surprises
  • Lead integrated HCP and patient work from brief to launch
  • Keep things moving through MLR without losing the idea
  • Turn clinical data into clear, actionable direction for the team
  • Align strategy, creative, and execution across disciplines
  • Spot opportunities to grow the business (and actually act on them)
  • Use data to sharpen performance, not just report on it
  • Stay on top of scopes, budgets, and financial health

Requirements

  • 7+ years in account management at a pharma/healthcare agency
  • Deep understanding of MLR and how to work within it (without letting it water things down)
  • Experience leading complex projects and cross-functional teams
  • Strong communicator—clear, direct, and trusted by clients and teams alike
  • Comfortable in data-driven, performance-focused environments
  • Solid financial instincts—you know where the business stands
  • Organized, proactive, and unshakable when things get complicated

Pay Range- $135,000-$155,000
