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.

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.

Overview

What you will do

In the Langland Medical Strategy & Education (MSE) team, we love reality, it's where we live. It's where professionals, protocols and p-values come face to face with the imperfect and unpredictable.

• We think further, exploring how insight can give data meaning in the real world, stimulating open discourse that people value, to advance human health.
• We partner with our clients across the whole product lifecycle.
• We look beyond the complex scientific data to understand what it means in the context of different perspectives, beliefs and behaviours.
• We uncover new ways to differentiate brands that aren't just about the lines on the graph but encompass both rational and emotional factors that are built into the strategic plan.
• We engage with not only traditional thought leaders, but also those who influence digitally and patient advocates, building mutually valuable relationships.
• We craft compelling scientific stories with visual, credible, impactful content that resonate with the target audience, meet a need and influence behaviour.
• We understand end-users' reality and create tailored communication programmes to help move HCPs across a knowledge and belief continuum and stimulate open discourse.

The main therapy areas we are working across currently are oncology, dermatology, HIV, rare diseases, respiratory medicine and CNS disorders, but regular new business wins will almost certainly provide an opportunity to work in other areas.

If you are ready to join our close-knit, ambitious team and play a role in the development and delivery of high quality medical education programmes, whilst experiencing a myriad of personal and professional development opportunities and collaborating across our four health disciplines, we'd like to hear from you.

Responsibilities

WHAT YOU WILL DO:

• Account management of assigned accounts including financial/budget management.
• Identifying organic and new business growth opportunities and reporting to the senior team
• Acts as the point of contact for the client and senior stakeholders
• Proactively handles smaller issues and escalates as appropriate
• Line management and/or mentoring of junior team members

Qualifications

WHO YOU ARE:

If you're ambitious, dedicated and ready to change how people see the world of healthcare - then we'd love to meet you.

Ideally, you'll have:

• Experience working in a medical communications agency with pharmaceutical clients
• Account management experience either as an Account Manager or as a Senior Account Executive looking to step up.
• Excellent relationship management experience and ability to interact efficiently with various stakeholders across different geographies at all organisational levels
• Experience of the full project lifecycle
• Strong commercial acumen and finance/budget management experience
