Stepping up from the Account Manager role, you should have a clear understanding of the programme as a whole (not just the projects you are working on) across your accounts, increasing your involvement in the strategic planning and financial management of your accounts and focusing on developing your leadership style to actively manage up and down, based on project needs.

Provide support to your account lead in addressing programme and team challenges

Formulate solutions to client challenges such as last-minute requests

Have a clear understanding of the programme as a whole (not just the projects you are working on), including the client objectives, strategy and environment so that you are able to confidently lead internal meetings and client calls

Ensure momentum is maintained across the programme and contact with client continues whenever the account lead is absent

Identify areas for organic growth within existing accounts (evolving existing programmes and/or additional tactics) and confidently sell new ideas in to clients, with support from your account lead

Play a management role in the new business process (assisting in the production of credentials and pitch presentations, coordinating and managing team members and external suppliers), having a significant share of voice/visibility with the internal cross-functional team

Team management

Begin to develop your leadership style, instilling professional values and good working habits in your teams

Develop more complicated budgets for integrated client programmes and track resource use against available budget throughout the month

Coach others to develop accurate budgets for clients, reflecting back on previous projects and gathering cost quotes

Support your account lead with the financial management of your accounts, proactively getting involved in invoicing, forecasting and resourcing and attend month-end finance meetings

Complete your timesheets and expense claims accurately and on time and take an active role in reviewing timesheets across the majority of your projects

Participate in internal initiatives which contribute to the culture or development of the Medical Communications team, or Real Chemistry more broadly (e.g., compliance/socials/inspiration)

Keep abreast of award-winning work and insights from other industries, sharing as appropriate

Required skills and experience:

Working with Real HART: Since the pandemic, we have adapted to how our people told us they want to work. We have office locations in cities in the US, UK, and Europe with many employees and clients that serve as hubs where and when they need us. For employees who are within an hour of one of our offices, we expect attendance in the office two days per week, either at a Real Chemistry office or onsite with clients. We are also actively opening new office locations, so if one opens near you, our Real HART policy will apply. We are not looking for attendance for the sake of attendance but believe that the opportunity to coordinate in-office team meetings, 1:1 meetings with managers, taking advantage of on-site learning, and connecting with client partners is a critical to delivering on our purpose of making healthcare what it should be. Outside of these offices, we have regions, where people work remotely but come together quarterly for collaboration, culture and learning opportunities. We call this our Real Hybrid and Regional Teams (Real HART) approach. Real Chemistry believes we are best together – and our workplace strategy fosters connection and collaboration in person – but also supports flexibility for our people.
