Senior Account Executive - Medical Education
Ogilvy Health UK is made up of healthcare communication specialists across the disciplines of medical education and communications; brain sciences; brand promotion; digital and social; strategic planning; public relations and creative/design. We believe we are like no other: we blaze new trails; we encourage a culture of creativity and innovation; we challenge, and we change; and we recognise and reward our team.
In medical education, our approach is founded on expertise that combines biomedical science, learning theory and behaviour change to create impactful medical and professional education.
We’re ‘Scientifically Grounded, Creatively Driven’.
About the Role
Are you a driven and experienced Senior Account Executive ready to make a real impact in medical education? Due to growth across existing client accounts we're looking for a talented Senior Account Executive to join the team. At Ogilvy we're guided by the David Ogilvy values – DO the right thing, DO the best work of our lives, and DO it together – we offer a dynamic and supportive environment where you can truly excel.
There are several ongoing initiatives within Ogilvy outside of client work that you can choose to get involved in including our culture and social team and our various fantastic DEI groups, created to champion diversity in the industry, our agency and our work.
You will discover that we are a very friendly, non-hierarchical, eclectic team, bound together by a desire to do the best work of our lives.
Benefit from a hybrid work model that maximises both collaboration and focused work. Join us in the London office on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for team meetings, agency updates, brainstorming sessions, and client interactions. The other three days are yours to work from wherever you're most productive. Days in the office may change subject to needs of the role and business.
