Job description

Healthcare Consultancy Group (HCG) is the global healthcare communications partner for pharma and biotech that accelerates the impact of medical science.

HCG boldly defines the healthcare communications landscape at the convergence of people, purpose, science, and technology, driving the impact that pharma needs to realize the promise of innovative medicines.

We’ve created a unique model of four powerhouses—Commercial & Marketing, Medical Affairs, Publications, Regulatory—that enables hyperconnected, audience-centric engagement that delivers health impacts for our clients.

Why? Science requires it. HCPs demand it. Patients deserve it. Pharma inspires it.

Our Purpose

We accelerate the impact of science.

Scientific discovery moves humanity forward, creating better ways to connect, to care, to live. The innovations our clients create not only improve lives but save them. We work every day to maximize that impact.

With the unrivaled ability to define what’s next, we keep clients ahead of the evolving industry landscape. Equally expert in the science and the humans behind it, we interrogate our client’s challenge to identify real opportunity. Our industry foresight is matched with relentless execution, and we partner with clients to ensure their story connects with the right audience when it matters most.

Together, we move medicine closer to patients. Together, we accelerate the impact of science.

We are seeking a highly organised and experienced freelance Event Manager to join our team at HCG UK, collaborating closely with our Scientific and Client Services functions on event execution across multiple accounts. This is an exciting opportunity to play a key role in delivering exceptional events for leading pharmaceutical clients. This assignment is scheduled to last until the end of the first quarter of 2026 and may be extended further.

Key Responsibilities:

• Lead and manage event logistics across multiple accounts and projects within the pharma sector.
• Collaborate confidently within a multi-skilled team of scientific and client services professionals.
• Oversee all aspects of event delivery, ensuring every detail is executed to the highest standard.
• Communicate clearly and effectively with internal teams and clients.
• Multi-task and prioritise work in a fast-paced environment.

Key Requirements:

• Proven event management experience, ideally within the pharmaceutical industry.
• Excellent organisational skills and meticulous attention to detail.
• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
• Ability to hit the ground running from day one.
• Confidence in managing logistics and collaborating with diverse teams.
• Ability to work full‑time (Monday to Friday, 9:00am–5:30pm), with some flexibility as needed.
• Willingness to travel onsite if required (rare occurrence).

If you thrive in a dynamic environment and are passionate about delivering outstanding events for pharma clients, we’d love to hear from you!

Omnicom Health is committed to hiring and developing exceptional talent. We agree that talent is uniquely distributed, and we’re focused on developing inclusive teams that can bring the best solutions to everything we do.
