Group Account Director, Medical Communications
We’re seeking a senior Medical Communications leader to oversee a high-value portfolio of Medical Affairs work and serve as a trusted partner to Global clients. This role is heavily Medical Affairs–focused and ideal for someone who thrives at the intersection of strategy, client leadership, and team development.
As a Group Account Director, you’ll be accountable for the health and growth of a $3–5M book of business, guiding both the strategic direction and day-to-day execution while developing future leaders within the organization.
THE ROLE
Act as the primary strategic advisor for key Medical Affairs engagements, owning senior client relationships and guiding long-term account vision.
Provide thoughtful, credible counsel across core MA workstreams, with exposure to publications (hands-on experience or the ability to grow into this area)
Drive organic account expansion and contribute to new business efforts, including pitches and proposal development.
Ensure programs are delivered with excellence—on time, on budget, and aligned with client and regulatory expectations.
Oversee financial performance, forecasting, and resourcing for a multi-account portfolio.
Lead and mentor account teams, including at least 1–2 direct reports.
Foster a high-performance culture through coaching, feedback, and talent development.
Demonstrate a clear leadership philosophy and hands‑on management style beyond what’s visible on a resume.
Partner closely with internal strategy, scientific, editorial, and operations teams.
Navigate complexity with confidence and bring clarity to teams and clients alike.
THE PERSON
Deep experience in Medical Affairs within an agency environment; publications experience is a plus, but not mandatory if there’s willingness and aptitude to grow.
Proven leadership experience with accountability for people, clients, and revenue.
Strong strategic thinking paired with operational rigor—able to zoom out and dive in as needed.
A track record of managing and growing multi-million-dollar accounts.
Clear, confident communicator with executive presence.
Ambitious, growth-oriented, and motivated to continue building both teams and business.
Familiarity with Veeva and MLR processes is a plus.
