M BOOTH HEALTH CAREERS
Account Director, Pharma/Biotech
About Us:
We’re not your typical agency. In fact, we don’t want to be. At M Booth Health, we take pride in doing what’s right, not what’s easy. Asking the difficult questions and finding unexpected answers. Pushing ourselves and our clients to think bigger. Moving beyond imposed limits to break through and create real connection.
We live our brand promise: Choose to Challenge. We're built to help organizations and brands challenge norms, drive results and improve the health and lives of those who need it most.
We believe health communications can change the world. Why? Because we’ve done it before. We’ve been at the forefront of advancing some of the most urgent issues in public health and medicine for decades. Our teams are purpose-built to challenge the status quo and drive results–both for our clients and for the health and well-being of people around the world.
M Booth Health’s growth has allowed for the building of a dynamic team of agency veterans and new talent with a broad range of backgrounds to match our diverse client mix, which is comprised of leading pharma, biotech, device & diagnostics and health tech companies, as well as payors.
Who You Are:
We want people who are just as passionate about health as we are. People who are serious about the work, but not too serious to have some fun while doing it. Candidates who bring big thinking and even bigger ambition; who are willing to push boundaries and challenge norms. And most importantly, who lead with kindness and humanity above all else. Does that sound like you?
For this role, we’re looking for a natural leader and exceptional practitioner. You’re passionate about the power of communications to improve people’s lives. You’re an expert at managing clients and teams. You possess a deep and proven understanding of the full spectrum pharmaceutical marketing and communications – from product milestones to disease awareness and corporate reputation.

The Director is responsible for serving as the day-to-day lead across a selection of our pharmaceutical clients, playing a crucial role in the success of the team and our agency as a whole.

This role is part thinker, part doer and full-time leader. You can counsel your clients, roll up your sleeves and get the work done, and inspire a team of colleagues who are equally as passionate about health as you are.
