This will also include overseeing the financial management of accounts and supporting senior management to optimise efficient working within the business unit.

  • Make recommendations to the senior team on project resourcing and staffing requirements; oversee recruitment of prospective candidates as appropriate
  • Proactively sell agency services that are innovative, visible, and profitable, as well as create and develop opportunities for growing business within existing accounts
  • Be aware of the wider industry, client competitor strategies, and market environment, and use this knowledge to direct the account teams’ work in consultation with clients
  • Lead the preparation and presentation of new business pitches
  • Keep up-to-date with changes and updates within your (and where possible other) therapy areas and areas of expertise
  • Be able to demonstrate an understanding of how the agency strategy cascades into operational delivery plans to strengthen the relationship with our clients
  • Partner with other Havas Health & You network providers accordingly, to help secure larger business wins
  • Direct and support the account team to develop, reconcile, and negotiate project budgets and guide colleagues in doing the same
  • Have an in-depth understanding of the financial status of accounts at all times including overall responsibility for internal reporting using the sales sheet
  • Ensure the development of direct reports by having regular 1:1 review meetings, identifying development needs, supporting and tracking progress against set objectives
  • Provide effective coaching as required to ensure your direct reports/team can carry out their duties to the best of their ability and encourage a positive working environment
