ABSTRACT:
Account managers at medical communications agencies come from a wide variety of backgrounds. They must work effectively with colleagues, clients, and world-renowned clinicians to deliver a variety of informational, educational, and promotional projects on behalf of the pharmaceutical industry. Managing publications in scientific and medical journals, presentations at conferences, events of all sizes, and the latest digital tools requires flawless organizational skills and a keen attention to detail. Deadlines and budgets must be balanced with top-notch quality and innovation, and account managers play a critical role in making this happen.
The medical communications industry is a challenging, dynamic and rewarding environment, offering a vibrant mix of science and business, and excellent opportunities for those willing to work hard and thrive as part of a team. There is more information and support than ever for those considering a future in account management, but it can be difficult to know where to start. This overview, along with the career guide available at FirstMedCommsJob.com, will hopefully help point you in the right direction so you can decide if account management is right for you.
