About the opportunity
Oxygen 8 Recruitment is partnering with a leading international healthcare communications and medical education group. With an established reputation across Asia and the Middle East, the business is now launching its European operation and is seeking the senior leader to anchor it.
This is a rare "first on the ground" appointment: the person who establishes the European footprint, wins the founding client relationships, and builds the team that follows. The core writing, design and editorial capability is delivered by established teams internationally, leaving this role free to focus on commercial growth, client relationships and market presence.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.

Define and execute the go-to-market strategy for the group's services in Europe. Win and grow client relationships across pharmaceutical, biotech, medical device and healthcare organisations.

Act as the senior bridge between European clients and the international delivery teams. Represent the business at industry level, building brand and network in a competitive European market.
About you
Proven leadership within healthcare / medical communications, medical education or a closely related agency environment. A strong, demonstrable track record in business development and client growth. Experience building or scaling teams, ideally including opening a new market or office.
