Job Information
Publicis Groupe Account Director - Clinical Trial Experience in London, United Kingdom
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.
What we believe
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.
A passion for craft
Having expert thinking is only part of our story. To ensure excellence in everything we make, we have centred our disciplines around three essential crafts: science, strategy and creativity.
Overview
We believe that people are the most valuable asset of any clinical trial.
Where others see subjects and protocols, we think further. We see real lives, and craft ideas, words and actions to tum an uncertain journey into a human experience.
We partner with our clients across the whole trial journey, thinking further at every step across three key business areas:
Participant Recruitment
Participant Engagement
Site Engagement
To date, we've supported over 800 clinical trials in more than 290 conditions over 75 countries, helping to convert over 500,000 patients to a clinical trial at a time when they need it most. All materials we create are translated and rolled-out in each country supporting the clinical trial. The nature of CTE means that every day is different - we never know what brief will come through the door next. But we do know that we'll have the chance to play a role in bringing a potential new treatment to market. That's a pretty meaningful way to spend a day at work, right?
Responsibilities
Want to join a fast-paced, exciting department working with some of the biggest names in healthcare? At Langland CTE (Clinical Trial Experience), we create campaigns that recruit and support volunteers for groundbreaking clinical trials. Drawing on specialist insight, we produce print and digital materials for patients, caregivers and HCPs that are translated and distributed around the world. Every single project we work on aims to better people’s lives – and the client services team play an integral role in their success.
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 in a similar role within a creative agency. We’re looking for a solid background working with pharmaceutical clients and demonstrable skills of working on a large variety of global projects and multiple accounts. You'll also have experience managing direct reports and be able to build good relationships with senior management. We’re looking for exceptionally strong verbal and written communication skills – and someone who’ll be seen as a credible voice to both clients and internal stakeholders. There are tight deadlines, fast-moving projects and clients who only demand the best from us – but if you’re the sort of person who thrives in this kind of environment, you’re in the right place.
