Ogilvy was founded in 1948 by David Ogilvy. David created a culture that deeply respects and cares about its people and clients. Our mission is to inspire people and brands to make an impact and we are committed to attracting, growing, and retaining the best talent in the industry. Our health division is one of the largest global networks in healthcare communications and provides strategic, integrated communication solutions for our clients, including many of the biggest names in the pharmaceutical industry. 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.
Due to one of our team members transferring over to Singapore, we have an exciting opportunity for a PR Account Director to join us on a permanent basis. In this role you will work across two of the agency’s largest global PR accounts delivering purposeful work that makes an impact to those living with rare diseases across the world.
As an Account Director, you will be the linchpin of your teams, an expert at tactical delivery with oversight of all projects and acting as the day-to-day client lead. You will be a source of trusted advice to clients and to your team, developing and supporting them to deliver outstanding work. Commercially savvy, you will be accountable for keeping the accounts profitable through accurate scoping and resource allocation. And in addition to your account work, you will have opportunities to get involved in new business pitches and broader collaboration opportunities with the wider Ogilvy Health team.
Joining a team of c.20 PR and social media specialists, you'll be responsible for driving the success of your accounts from an operational perspective. You'll be someone who inspires and leads your team to deliver impactful work, supporting them and giving them the scope to develop and flourish. We are a non-hierarchical agency and each team member is given ownership and accountability of specific projects.
The work you will deliver for clients is varied: social media campaigns directed at both specialist and public audiences, patient activation initiatives, clinical data and regulatory comms media outreach and leadership coalition initiatives involving multiple stakeholder groups.
Within Ogilvy Health UK there are 200 health specialists working together to solve client’s challenges applying their own areas of specialism such as: public relations, strategy, creative, medical education and brain sciences. This will give you the opportunity to work alongside a broad range of health specialists to deliver truly outstanding work.
You will also take on line management responsibilities for 1-2 reports, which will include regular catch-up meetings, managing feedback received from colleagues, goal setting, and career conversations.
There are several ongoing initiatives within Ogilvy Health outside of client work that you can choose to get involved in including our culture and social team andour 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.
We offer flexible hybrid working and are open to speaking with candidates who can comfortably travel to either London, Oxford, or our fab new campus in Manchester two days per week.
Ogilvy celebrates its people. Fully. Enthusiastically. Unhesitatingly. We’ll empower you with the tools you’ll need to succeed. We’ll give you the autonomy to seek out new paths and better ways of doing things. We’ll support you with colleagues who are experts in their disciplines, drawn from across the Ogilvy network. And we’ll provide opportunities for you to do work of which you’ll be proud, with people you’ll be proud to call your teammates.
