• Act as the main point of contact for designated clients, building strong, trusted relationships.

• Effectively manage the account team for each client, coordinating workloads and delivery.

• Produce clear, concise reports, newsletters, campaign materials and press releases.

• Engage with patient advocacy groups, charity partners and healthcare professionals on relevant programmes.

• Liaise with appropriate media outlets to support the delivery of integrated PR campaigns.

• Translate complex scientific and policy information into accessible content for external stakeholders and internal teams.

• Review daily media and political monitoring, providing timely analysis relevant to clients’ priorities.

• Contribute ideas to new business and upsell discussions, supporting the development of proposals, pitches and formal RFP responses.

• Build strong networks across clients, prospects and key stakeholders, representing our client at industry and networking events.

About You

• Agency experience working with healthcare organisations, particularly pharmaceutical, healthtech or biotechnology clients, on public affairs and integrated communications campaigns.

• Strong interest in healthcare policy, including commissioning processes, and a genuine desire to make a meaningful impact in health and social care.

• Familiarity with, and commitment to, compliance with ABPI regulations.

• Confidence in building and managing relationships with Parliamentarians, Government Ministers and senior stakeholders in life sciences and social care.

• Experience supporting internal and external communications for key clients and working with relevant media outlets.

• Comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative, values-driven agency environment.

• Professional yet personable communication style, able to work independently and as part of a team.

• Willingness to mentor junior colleagues, providing constructive feedback and guidance.

• Ability to explore new areas of work and champion your own professional interests within our client’s team.

Salary, Benefits & Development

• Competitive salary, aligned to your experience and responsibility level.

• 25 days’ annual leave plus UK Bank Holidays.

• Enhanced pension plan to support your long-term financial wellbeing.

QA Manager

I am partnered with a specialist and expanding pharmaceutical manufacturing business that is continuing to invest in both its people and quality function across the UK.

The business is now looking to appoint a QA Manager for one of its South East facilities in Surrey.

This is a key position within a small, fast paced manufacturing facility and an excellent opportunity to take ownership of the site wide quality systems, while helping shape quality culture and operational standards moving forward.

You'll lead from the front, bringing teams with you through change while maintaining a relentless focus on service, efficiency and continuous improvement.
What we're looking for
• Supply chain leadership experience within pharmaceuticals, food manufacturing or FMCG.
