As many of our accounts involves projects that run across the Publicis Health network, you’ll also work alongside PRP (Public Relations & Policy), MSE (Medical Strategy & Education) and our U.S agency partners to ensure that everything we produce feels cohesive. It’s a fast moving, hands-on role offering an incredible opportunity to develop your experience across other disciplines (including medical education and communications planning). As a team, we’re hard-working, supportive and put collaboration at the heart of everything we do.

Who you are

If you’re ambitious, dedicated and ready to change how people see the world of healthcare – then we’d love to meet you. Ideally, you’ll have experience in a similar role within a creative agency.

We’re looking for exceptionally strong verbal and written communication skills – and someone who’ll be seen as a credible voice to both clients and internal stakeholders. There are tight deadlines, fast-moving projects and clients who only demand the best from us – but if you’re the sort of person who thrives in this kind of environment, you’re in the right place.

And if you like to Think Further, join the club. Here at Langland, we’re an open-minded bunch – always on the look out for new ideas; whether that’s in the work we produce or a way of working. So if you want to approach something in a different way, we’ll be all ears.
