Real Chemistry is looking for a Senior Account Manager, Medical Education to join our growing team!
This role is part of the Integrated Client Services team in Real Chemistry.
The Senior Account Manager will work primarily on Medical Education activity but will also be able to challenge themselves to think about how they can leverage the creative capabilities from the advertising side of our business to help clients to maximise the impact that their Med Ed activity has, driving effectiveness and outcomes for HCPs and Patients alike.
They are the client’s key day-to-day contact, managing relationships and setting their expectations of the agency, working on larger and more complex programmes.
They make sure that their colleagues know what is going on and are delivering effectively.
They have a good overview of the client relationship both now and going forward and can formulate future objectives and strategies as well as deliver today’s work.
What you’ll do:
You take a strategic perspective, manage client relationships and can be entrusted with entire portfolios of client business, with the support of SMT.
Clients see you as a safe pair of hands, able to set strategy and deliver effectively.
Your colleagues look to you for leadership and to learn best practice.
We focus on results and encourage all our staff to explore new and better ways to succeed in their roles.
At the same time, we recognise the importance of a clear career structure and realistic expectations.

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), 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
Growth and New Business
Identify areas for growth (evolving existing programmes and/or additional tactics) and confidently sell new ideas in with your team and client
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 prospective client in the new business process
Self-Development
Begin to develop your leadership style; inspire, motivate and empower your team, protecting our culture
Ensure cross-learning and sharing of best practice between AMs
Coaching and mentoring junior team members on an ongoing basis; coach others to coach
Line management of AEs: manage and run bi-annual reviews for your linees, as appropriate

Our Company values – Best Together, Impact-Obsessed, Excellence Expected, Evolve Always and Accountability with an “I” – really speak to you.

Working with HART: Since the pandemic, we have adapted to how our people told us they want to work.
We have offices in cities with many employees and clients – New York, Chicago, Austin, Washington D.
C.
, San Francisco, and London – that serve as hubs where and when they need us, and we encourage employees who live less than a 45-minute commute of a Real Chemistry office to go in at least two days per week.
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 Hybrid and Regional Teams 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.
