Account Manager/Senior Account Manager, Health (Policy)

MHP Group is the integrated communications agency built for the Networked Age – a world that’s increasingly connected, complex, polarised and activist.

We lead the way in the application of behavioural science to solve communications challenges. We create strategies and multichannel campaigns to engage every audience, from consumer to policy maker, and from stakeholder to shareholder.

With 230 experts in London, we are trusted by many of the world’s leading businesses and brands. Our specialist teams include Brand & Reputation, Corporate Advisory & Capital Markets, Public Affairs, Strategic Media, Crisis & Risk, Change & Employee Engagement, Health, Financial Services, Technology, Mischief and Studio La Plage.

The Health team within MHP Group has consistently been one of the highest performing and recognised practices in our industry.

From reversing UK Government policy on vaccinations, to building support for genomics in the NHS and shaping the environment for respiratory conditions globally – our work is diverse and challenging. We have the client roster to match, including Alexion, AstraZeneca, Novo Nordisk, Gilead, Takeda, Bupa, Prostate Cancer UK and Alzheimer’s Society – to name but a few.

The team deliver projects at a UK, European, and Global level across a broad range of communications disciplines including communications, policy and public affairs, and advocacy.

Our varied work has one goal: to get people to give a damn about health, by building compelling campaigns which change the way that patients, professionals and policy makers think and act – to help enhance and extend people’s lives.
