About the agency

This specialist Sydney-based agency has spent over two decades at the forefront of healthcare PR, known for its deep expertise in navigating the highly regulated pharmaceutical landscape. From launching the first of their kind vaccines to managing high-stakes crisis communications and public affairs for industry bodies, they are the go-to partner for complex, meaningful storytelling.

Currently in a phase of exciting growth, the agency has maintained its boutique, close-knit feel while delivering the kind of high-impact work usually reserved for global networks. The culture is built on a “Type A” excellence – think precision, strategic thinking, and exceptional client management.

 

Benefits & Culture

The vibe is warm, motivated, and collaborative, with a team that truly backs one another during the industry’s seasonal peaks. It is a structured environment where professional development is a constant, not an afterthought.

  • Social & Connection: Monthly team drinks and activities and dedicated birthday lunches at top Sydney restaurants featuring your favourite cake.
  • Deep Learning: Weekly 1:1s, fortnightly internal training sessions, and monthly external workshops led by ex-journalists and digital experts.
  • Progression: Quarterly reviews with SLT feedback.
  • Leave: 20 days annual leave (inclusive of a Christmas shutdown) plus an additional day off for your birthday.

 

About the job

You’ll manage a portfolio of 3 – 4 major pharmaceutical accounts, developing and tailoring stories for different publications to drive meaningful behaviour change – from increasing flu vaccination uptake to supporting cancer awareness and patient outcomes.

Key duties and responsibilities:

  • Leading the media agenda for the agency, using your established journalist relationships to secure high-impact coverage in a crowded health landscape.
  • Working with trusted spokespeople and medical experts to release annual industry-leading reports and white papers.
  • Navigating the creative constraints of a highly regulated space to deliver campaigns that genuinely move the needle for patients and providers.
  • Overseeing the delivery of complex behaviour-change campaigns that integrate media relations, public affairs, and growing social/digital elements.
  • Taking an active role in the development of junior team members and providing daily guidance.

 

About you 

  • You are an established PR professional with 4 – 6 years of experience. A background in healthcare communications and/or agency life is advantageous.
  • You love the thrill of the pitch and are confident picking up the phone to sell in a story to a top-tier editor.
  • While direct healthcare experience is a major plus, a genuine passion for the sector is essential.
  • You have experience working with complex narratives, like in healthcare/pharma, and possess the ability to turn technical data into compelling stories. 
  • You possess exceptional time management and the ability to pivot between different client mandates with ease.
