    • Guide media strategy for clients, build and maintain strong relationships with reporters and editors, and oversee media outreach by team members.
    • Oversee the development of materials such as press releases, website copy, digital copy, briefings, and more to ensure they are scientifically accurate, compliant, and easy to understand.
    • Work closely with visual design, digital, marketing, and analytics teams to deliver strong, coordinated programs.
    • Maintain deep understanding of client science, competitive landscapes, and therapeutic areas; speak fluently and credibly with scientific, medical, and investor audiences.
    • Lead and mentor senior account leaders, setting high standards for excellence in strategic thinking, media execution, and client service with high standards for quality, rigor, and professionalism
    • Partner with agency leadership on resource planning, account staffing, and long‐term talent development.
    • Support agency growth by helping with new business pitches and thought leadership initiatives.

    QUALIFICATIONS

    • 10+ years of experience in strategic communications or public relations within biotech, pharmaceutical, medtech, or healthcare sectors.
    • Extensive earned media experience, including senior‐level relationships with financial, business, healthcare, and scientific press, a plus, but not required
    • Demonstrated success in counseling C‐suite executives and boards in high‐stakes, high‐visibility situations.
    • Exceptional written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to translate complex science into clear, compelling narratives.
    • Deep understanding of pharmaceutical regulations, disclosure requirements, and ethical standards.
    • Proven leadership experience managing and mentoring senior teams.
    • Strong business acumen, with experience overseeing budgets, scopes, and long‐term client relationships.
    • Ability to work well with colleagues in different geographic locations and across different areas of expertise.
    • Advanced scientific or medical degree (PhD, MD, or equivalent) a plus, but not required
