Executive Vice President - HIV, Corporate Communications

Executive Vice President, HIV / Corporate Communications

About Us:

We’re not your typical agency. In fact, we don’t want to be. At M Booth Health, we take pride in doing what’s right, not what’s easy. Asking the difficult questions and finding unexpected answers. Pushing ourselves and our clients to think bigger. Moving beyond imposed limits to break through and create real connection. 

We live our brand promise: Choose to Challenge. We're built to help organizations and brands challenge norms, drive results and improve the health and lives of those who need it most.

We believe health communications can change the world. Why? Because we’ve done it before. We’ve been at the forefront of advancing some of the most urgent issues in public health and medicine for decades. Our teams are purpose-built to challenge the status quo and drive results–both for our clients and for the health and well-being of people around the world.

M Booth Health’s growth has allowed for the building of a dynamic team of agency veterans and new talent with a broad range of backgrounds to match our diverse client mix, which is comprised of leading pharma, biotech, device & diagnostics and health tech companies, as well as payors.

Who You Are:

We want people who are just as passionate about health as we are. People who are serious about the work, but not too serious to have some fun while doing it. Candidates who bring big thinking and even bigger ambition; who are willing to push boundaries and challenge norms. And most importantly, who lead with kindness and humanity above all else. Does that sound like you? 

For this role, we’re looking for a natural leader. Reporting directly into the Managing Director, Client Experience, your role is equal parts client, business and people. You’ll serve as the senior client relationship manager on one of our largest, most integrated accounts, oversee dynamic teams and help to shape the future of the practice and the culture of the agency. You’re part doer, part dreamer. You are an expert practitioner, but you think bigger at all turns, driving toward more meaningful, impactful work. 

Specifically, we are looking for an executive leader to oversee a growing portfolio of business with a leading pharmaceutical company across global drug access communications, corporate storytelling, social media, major creative media partnerships, social impact initiatives, and more. Our ideal candidate understands the complexities of the global HIV landscape, and can connect dots, ensure teams operate synergistically and with singleness of purpose, identify new opportunities for growth, and make the whole greater than the sum of its parts.

Client:

Business:

• Serve as a member of our agency’s Leadership Team, contributing thoughtful insights and ideas to deliver on our promise of Choose to Challenge for both our clients and our people
• Lead on new business efforts, in collaboration with Leadership Team, to attract incredible client partners and aggressively convert new business leads into clients
• Drive organic growth across existing client relationships, expanding not just budgets but also the level of sophistication and impact of projects.

People:

• Demonstrate a consistent and steadfast commitment to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion and play a deliberate and actionable leadership role in supporting our DE&I programming
• Lead, develop and coach the team, inspiring the next generation of leaders and ensuring career development and satisfaction
• Live our agency values every day, and most importantly, lead with kindness and humanity above all else
• Be an engaging, collaborative and passionate leader of the M Booth Health crew

Experience

• Minimum of 15 years of experience with at least half in an agency or client-facing setting, and over-indexing in pharmaceutical corporate communications
• Experience working in the complex HIV policy, stakeholder, and scientific environment, including HIV in developing countries is a must have
• Experience managing large, integrated pieces of business ($5M+) and the organizational skills needed to do so, with proven track record of double-digit organic business growth
• Expertise across a broad spectrum of healthcare communications, including corporate communications, issues management, stakeholder relations, data and regulatory milestones, and branded and unbranded campaigns 
• Deep understanding of the integrated communications landscape and how digital, creative, strategy and analytics fit seamlessly into account operations
• A passion for creativity and ideas that deliver meaningful impact
• Superb management skills, and experience motivating and inspiring colleagues while creating opportunities for growth and development 
• Exceptional interpersonal skills, a collaborative style and the ability to communicate effectively at all levels
• Positive, unifying attitude and a true enthusiasm and dedication to delivering exceptional work in a fun, collaborative and non-hierarchical environment
