Public Relations-Seeking Pharmaceutical SAE Who Is Ready To Be Promoted To An Account Supervisor(New York, NY)
Our client is a UK-headquartered healthcare public relations firm with a growing U.S. presence. While other public relations firms have been contracting, our client has grown 100% in 2009 and rapid growth is expected in 2010! To keep up with their expansion, they are looking to add an Account Supervisor in their office in midtown Manhattan. This is an agency where you can rise fast, have high visibility, help build their U.S. operation, and be well-compensated.
The Account Supervisor at our client is NOT merely another account position. It is considered the beginning of the transition from mostly doing - to thinking, doing and leading and to begin developing individual areas of specialty and strengths, such as outstanding writing, powerhouse media and social media relations impact, expert knowledge of key business sectors and client service excellence. The Account Supervisor should be able to understand client business issues at a business level and be capable of providing executive level counsel to senior client executives. You are expected to be a compelling presenter, public speaker and new business contributor. Your experience and judgment must be mature enough to work with less direct supervision, while proactively seeking agency executive input when warranted.
Responsibilities:
*The successful day-to-day managing the execution of communications for a variety of healthcare clients (including team planning, financial forecasting, budgeting), with guidance from senior executives.
*Developing and managing communications tactics for drug approvals, clinical trial recruitment, third-party communications, drug launches, etc.
*Writing and editing a wide variety of communications materials and documents.
*Strategic targeted communications. While media relations is an important part of the position, this is NOT a media-intensive position.
*Supervision of account team to ensure flawless execution, delivery of results tracked to marketing / business strategies, and on-time / on-budget program delivery.
*Serving as one of the day-to-day client contacts.
*Conducting traditional and social media, trends and issues research and analysis.
*Tracking the progress of client strategic initiatives and redirect initiatives as needed.
*Being a hands-on player in new business growth.
*Work with thought leaders and advocacy groups.
*Keeping up with client and industry changes and trends.
Requirements:
*Minimum 4 – 6 years of pharmaceutical or biotechnology public relations experience within an agency setting. Any communications experience with infectious diseases or antibiotics is a plus.
*Experience in data, regulatory milestone, product promotion, consumer health and corporate communications.
*New media and social media communication skills.
*Self-starter who is able to work within an entrepreneurial environment.
*Strong organizational and project management skills.
*Proven writing, planning and traditional / social media execution.
As you can tell, our client has given a lot of thought into what they want in this individual and how they will help grow their career. This is your chance to join an independent, entrepreneurial, profitable global communications firm. Reports to Vice President and Managing Supervisor and you will manage three people when you start. People are vivacious, outgoing and like to talk.
Ideally looking for a Senior Account Executive who is ready to be promoted to an Account Supervisor or somebody who recently became an Account Supervisor. Might be an excellent opportunity for someone looking to move from the pressures of a big pr agency environment to a friendly smaller pr agency.
Salary $70K-$85K plus very good benefits including medical, 401K with match, 3 weeks vacation plus holidays.
