About Ogilvy

Ogilvy was founded in 1948 by David Ogilvy. David created a culture that deeply respects and cares about its people and clients. Our mission is to inspire people and brands to make an impact and we are committed to attracting, growing, and retaining the best talent in the industry. Ogilvy Health is a leading global healthcare communications agency, dedicated to using creativity and innovation to make a meaningful impact on patient lives. As part of the Ogilvy network, we have access to unrivaled resources and expertise to deliver cutting-edge solutions to our clients. With a team of passionate professionals, we pride ourselves on our ability to combine strategic thinking with compelling storytelling to create impactful campaigns.

About the Role

We have recently been appointed by a new client across their endocrinology portfolio of brands. Our new client leads the way in the treatment of growth hormone deficiency targeting the improvement of patients’ lives, and we need an Account Executive to join us to help us deliver some amazing work for them!

Working with the global marketing team, we will be supporting 3 brands across a range of conditions. Much of our focus will be on the treatment of children, incorporating a host of communications challenges across healthcare professionals, caregivers, and parents, primary care physicians, and the patient themselves. Each of the brands is at different stages of development – 2 are launched across a small number of international markets, 1 at early stages, with part of the role being to develop, position, and launch the brand globally.

Our work will be challenging, with market positioning and branding challenges – ideal for someone who loves a strategic challenge, working across multiple disciplines, and seeking to work on brands outside of the norm, with global scale and in rare and ultra-rare diseases.

As an Account Executive, you will be responsible for organizing your account teams; actively participating by devising and implementing projects and timelines, and taking responsibility for driving specific activities. You will be the go-to person for project status updates, creating action plans, as well as booking calls and meetings required to ensure the account runs smoothly. You will also support the team by undertaking research and monitoring, which will help you understand more about the therapy areas you are working in.

What You’ll Need

• Experience in healthcare advertising or a related field but most of all a passion for this space. Why not include a short statement or covering letter if your CV isn't telling your full story? We do read them!
• Strong organisational and project management skills
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills
• Ability to work effectively in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment
• Proficiency in Microsoft Office suite
• Knowledge of healthcare industry and regulations is a plus

We’ll give you the autonomy to seek out new paths and better ways of doing things. We’ll support you with colleagues who are experts in their disciplines, drawn from across the Ogilvy network.
