We are in relentless pursuit of an equitable and inspiring workplace that is respectful of all, reflects and represents the world in which we live, and fosters trust, collaboration and belonging. Consistent with this approach, we hire the best qualified candidates for all positions.

Edelman is looking for an Account Executive (AE) to join our U.S. Health team in New York. This is an exciting opportunity for an early-career communications professional interested in healthcare, pharmaceuticals, and the science behind meaningful health innovations.

In this role, you'll support communications programs for a leading global pharmaceutical company, with a particular focus on scientific data, healthcare innovation, and compelling storytelling. You'll work alongside a collaborative team, gain exposure to high-profile client initiatives, and help translate complex healthcare information into clear, accurate, and impactful communications.

If you're detail-oriented, curious about the healthcare industry, and eager to build your career in pharmaceutical communications, we'd love to hear from you.

Who You Are

You're an organized, proactive communicator who takes pride in delivering accurate, high-quality work. You enjoy collaborating with others, managing multiple priorities, and finding ways to keep projects moving forward.

You have strong writing skills, an eye for detail, and a genuine interest in understanding the science behind healthcare innovations. Whether you've worked in pharmaceutical communications, consumer health, wellness, or another communications discipline, you're excited to learn, contribute, and grow in a fast-paced agency environment.

What You'll Do

  • Support day-to-day communications programs for a global pharmaceutical client, with a focus on scientific data, healthcare innovation, and compelling storytelling.
  • Draft, edit, and proofread client-facing materials, including emails, social media content, status updates, and communications documents.
  • Coordinate weekly client agendas, hot lists, project timelines, and tracking documents to ensure deliverables stay organized and on schedule.
  • Support medical, legal, and regulatory review processes, ensuring materials are accurate, consistent, and aligned with client requirements.
  • Monitor relevant media coverage, industry developments, and healthcare trends to identify insights and opportunities.
  • Collaborate with colleagues across teams to support the timely execution of communications initiatives and client deliverables.
  • Partner with and provide day-to-day guidance to junior team members while contributing to a collaborative, solutions-oriented environment.
  • Demonstrate ownership of assigned responsibilities, proactively anticipating next steps and maintaining high standards of accuracy and attention to detail.

Basic Qualifications

  • A bachelor's degree or equivalent work experience.
  • A minimum of 1 year of professional experience in public relations, communications, public affairs, or a related field.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Previous experience or exposure to healthcare, pharmaceutical, consumer health, or wellness communications.
  • Strong writing, editing, and proofreading skills, with exceptional attention to detail and accuracy.
  • Excellent organizational and time-management skills, with the ability to manage multiple projects and deadlines.
  • Ability to take initiative, work independently on assigned tasks, and communicate proactively with colleagues and clients.
  • Genuine interest in scientific storytelling, healthcare data, and the pharmaceutical industry.
  • Familiarity with medical, legal, and regulatory review processes is a plus.
  • Experience working in an agency environment or supporting multiple client deliverables is preferred.
  • Strong collaboration skills and a willingness to learn, share knowledge, and contribute to an inclusive team environment.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
