With account teams dedicated to particular clients in order to streamline working processes and efficiencies for the client they operate in the UK and from global offices.

THE ROLE

Due to an internal restructure a newly created senior role has become available to enable the heads of each event operations team to be led from the front and have a more focused reporting line.

A background in event delivery, specifically in the pharmaceutical sector, alongside the ability to lead a team to success is a pre-requisite.
